I also recommend to collect the coal legendary commanders before gaining coal premium ships as it takes a lot longer to reach 21 commander points than to collect another 200+k for a premium coal ship

I picked up Lutjens and Kuznetsov from watching your videos years ago.

Lütjens's is also fantastic on the Loewenhardt and Graf Zeppelin primarily and good on their other CV's.

Thank you for the video and good as expected.

I think they should add more historical commanders to the game.

We forget the seasoned commanders! cheap, (coals/collections/dubs) and quite useful. since there isn't much content for them, maybe a video for them isn't a bad idea

I have them all and you nailed the categories for each. Sa Zhenbing is the only unique commander I have not fully levelled up, just not a priority as he is meh. Sansonetti really impactful as those Italian ships (cruisers and BB's) lack range and that range boost is sweet and easy to get early game.

Many thanks for this episode, I now know which captain to get and how to use him properly as well as the others again thank you

Jesus, I only just realized how great Yamamoto could be in Operations. The only issue is it requires First Blood and Kraken, if it were based on just getting kills, even if only for the second skill, it'd be AMAZINGLY useful for Operations. The only other downside is there aren't any Japanese ships I'd want to USE in Operations, Atago at a stretch, but not over Mainz, Anchorage, Rochester, Kutuzov, Irian, or a handful of others.

Lutjens is my next buy. I got got lucky and got that Atlanta German ship in crate drop. After seeing you put him in yours in that video. I figured why not it will cost me all my coal but why not. With Tirpitz and GK working on getting the other GK tech replacement since GK is Premium or something.

Grinding a line to Tier X/XI seems easy but grinding a commander to 21, OMG, takes forever. And some ships really need it, like the Schlieffen or Kleber.

As far as im concerned, lutjens is probably the best comander in the game simply because of what he offers and the number of dhips he goes on. A must for germsn ships.

Lutjens on Scharnhorst '43 in Asymetrics is OMFG.!

The problem with all of these unique commanders is getting them from 19 to 21 points. When the commander rework happened, both my Halsey and Yamamoto where at 19 points. Getting the additional 1200 commander xp/free XP etc for them and my other T19 commanders was a real pain for me. Also you're in a situation where the unique commander is tied to just 1 techline ship (without penalty) but can migrates easily between premiums of the same nation, which encourages the purchase of more premiums (Bet that was one of WG's key game monitization considerations). I do like Cunningham and Lutgens though. Interesting video. thx SLM

Yeah I'm gonna grab Lutjens, I've got my secondaries out to 12.5k on Claushwitz already so more speedy reload will rock.

I would love to see more Unique commanders. Even alternates for nations we already have. Jerzi is awesome, but the DDs he works best with are Swedish, and we now have a line with a few Polish DDs. Revamp Jerzi for gunboats, and 'old' Jerzi is renamed for a Swedish commander? I would knock Halsey down a tier only because he works best on cruisers for me, and none of his skills really lean into CVs. He was best known for being a CV commander, and it is weird that I don't even bother having him on mine. Again, respec Halsey as a CV captain, and then offer another US captain and lean into the ship type they are best known for. Burke and DDs is a good idea. Sansonetti I would bump up one since it is easy to get his skills to pop. And those skills do help a lot.

For the dutch, the Ruijter is very nice since it gives a 15% faster reload on airstrikes. For the Gouden Leeuw wuth legendary mod a must have

You need to decide what you want to do before you start picking special commanders. If you’re planning on playing clan battles, none of the unique abilities will work. For clan the middle tier named commanders are better since they get a skill boost that still works in competitive. Lutjens is probably the best choice for the first unique Commander. He supercharges any German ship you put him on which makes it easier to earn coal for the next.

If WG wants to print money they need a star captain loot box. Each box gives you 1 captain level 6 to 14 with 1 to 4 random stars. And include rare skills like a 2.5% to concealment expert. Don't make the boxes too expensive like 500 gold and players will buy hundreds Of them to get that perfect captain.

There are commanders in the challenges or is it collections (I think 3) and the 175k coal commanders. Then there are the 35k commanders with special abilities (not all lines have one, WG...). After that there are commanders, you can move from premium ships and not get retraining. (the 1500 doubloon ones, and the transformers, anima, Santas, and other weird stuff) What is left are the normal commanders you get with the ships.

Azuma is my only needed commander. Tje rest and bland or require more gameplay than i'm willing to give to WG

Hi Mountbatten, I’m curious whether you think they’re going to alter some of the commanders with the coming updates to aircraft carriers as many commanders have skills and talents that improve restoration time, which will presumably not exist anymore

Here's a question for the community. What can you do about players that are on your team and are doing absolutely nothing to help. As in they don't try and cap, they don't launch a single torp, they don't fire a single round. Guy finished the round with 189 points. Did a brawl last night and got this guy on my team for two rounds back to back. First round I died early (because he wouldn't move to get a cap, so I tried too). So I watched him the entire round. Again we were doing brawl. He was our only DD. HE DID ABSOLUTELY nothing. But sail around the map as far away from everything. Second round he tried to do similar, but I kept telling the other team where he was and he got spawned in center of map, so he couldn't do much. So they killed him early on. But I mean he cost us the second round. And this is a brawl. What options do you have with players like that? His user is Sabot51, I forget which clan he is in.

Whether a commander has a few or a lot of ships is totally irrelevant to his skill set. What if a player really likes playing Pan Asian ships and skips the commander because you rate him 'mediocre'? If a commander has value "really good commander" then rate them based on their skill set alone. Otherwise a good review.
