Yodo received buffs while Ragnar is still inherently underpowered. It lacks the necessary attributes to make meaningful impact on match result. No burst damage to speak of, split turrets, and yet still retains a fragile platform. I would take 1 Conqueror..Thunderer or 1 DM or even 1 of just about any CA over 2 Ragnars on my team any day of the week. Now... If WG gave it the specialized repair party of the Nestrashimy ( and 1 more base charge).... And maybe a few more thousand HP if could make up for where it is seriously lacking with longevity.

Yodo is a heavy cruiser with light cruiser pen and battleship agility, change my mind.

Well it moves like a heavy cruiser but has the armor of light cruisers,the turning of BBs,the guns of light cruisers,the reload of heavy cruisers like Petro and Venezia and zao...just buffing the reload will help this line a lot

Ahh yes, the ship line that simply needs a 10 second reload past T7 to be perfectly fine. What does Wargaming do? Buff the alpha strike of only the T10... Sounds about right. Though we can't have a new CL with a decent rate of fire that can actually pen 32mm, or else BB mains would complain to much, and we can't make the BB mains cry. Gotta just keep giving BB mains a new 30mm overmatch ship every patch or two while CL players have only gotten a few crumbs over the years, and then people wonder why very few people play cruisers in general.

@@andrewmbaba7608 Sorry I worded that weirdly I had just woken up, I meant a "new CL with a decent rate of fire" San Martin and Nevsky both have effectively T8-ish levels of reload on their guns, leaving them sorely lacking in DPM compared to Mino and Worcester. I mean San Martin might have a bit more pen than Mino but it's not enough to make up for the nearly twice as long reload rate on its guns. Nevsky has the issue of lack of gun count, so while 6 seconds isn't the worst reload on 180mm guns, she still only has 8 guns compared to Worcester's 12 guns. My basic take is, if Worcester and Minotaur are fine and balanced, and one would assume they are given their age and the fact they haven't been nerfed in a very long time if ever. Then there is no reason why San Martin can't have the same 3.2 second reload of Mino or at least close. And why Nevsky couldn't have been armed with 12 180mm guns with that 6 second reload.

Something you didn't mention though, was its AA. I added a little to my commander skills - and it's a beast. It's just soo nice to play something that can handle both subs and CV's.

I use IFHE myself also and I am finding it a lot more consistent I also use rudder over CE myself but yeah

I would rather have them improve the penetration of HE. It’s frankly insane that Haruguno destroyer guns have more pen than the “light cruiser”. Buffing the mobility as well as the torpedoes (make them either faster or more stealthy) would help. Yodo is a good destroyer killer, similar to Venezia. But it seems I’m gonna need to keep tanking the win rate so this ship becomes good

IJN 100mm do have the same pen as 150mm/152mm guns though, at T8+ 15Xmm guns get /5 pen rather than the standard /6 of T7 and lower, given them exactly 30mm base pen(or 31mm in the case of 155mm guns), IJN 100s are given an artificial 30mm of pen because apparently expecting a ship to press the 2 key was just to much.

So I’m about to start down the Japanese cruiser line. Is Yodo more usable than Zao in 2024?

@bradulovic82

Ай бұрын

Zao has very good guns - awesome accuracy and heavy hitting HE + fire chance (AP is also good if you shoot braodside cruisers). Armor is decent, it will bounce some shells you think that will killl you, but then proceed to eat double cit through the arse. Her torps hit hard and you can stealth launch 12 km ones. She also has great conceal, is fast and has good rudder for heavy cruiser. AA defense, guns/torpedo firing angles and turret rotation is absolute garbage. Also, her torps tubes will probably be destroyed by first HE shells that land near them. If I had to choose, I would gladly take Zao even in her current state, Yodo is just a favourite target for every BB in range (or any other ship with bigger caliber gun).

@davidpotts7116

Ай бұрын

In my opinion, neither are great but Zao is the way to go. It gets a much better alpha strike than Yodo, doesn't need IFHE to get good performance out of the guns, has insane accuracy with its legendary upgrade (Zao uses the destroyer dispersion formula instead of the cruiser formula, so having an extra 7% buff to dispersion just makes it near pinpoint accurate), has access to the spotter plane to make up for it having only a 16km range as opposed to Yodo only getting catapult fighters, is amazing in open water due to having a high speed and incredible rudder shift, and has some of the best cruiser mounted torpedoes in the game as they are near identical to Shima's 12km torps but having a slower reload time (Yodo gets these same torps with a 15km range, but the detection range is horrible which makes them very easy to avoid as well as being much slower than Zao's torps, clocking in at a base 60kts vs Zao's 67kts at base). Granted, it does have a 30 second 180 time for its guns vs Yodo's insane 6 second 180, as well as somehow having a lower hp pool than Yodo despite being a heavy cruiser. These problems don't really present themselves too often in my experience though. Zao has slightly better armor to make up for the lower hp value, being able to shatter HE that would normally chunk Yodo. The turret traverse you can't really get around, but Zao never wants to be on the front lines anyway so you won't have to worry about rapidly swapping targets. You kind of just choose one person (usually a bb) to pick on with instant fires, then once their hp gets depleted you move on to the next person in your range. Zao is just like Monty or DM, it's an oldie but a goodie. Her age shows heaps, but the kit she has is enough to make it through matches even in spite of how the game has developed. Just obviously don't go taking Zao into ranked or clan battles, as you won't have a good time and will likely get a bunch of hate from your teammates for doing so.

Wow the HE damge is so low

funny how wargaming decides to give yodo a buff instead of a legmod. i think it desperately needs a legmod like better reload, or torp speed or better shell velocity. But i enjoyed the playstyle. can be difficult at times and depends on the maps u play, like heavily.

Look at where he is on the map? At the back spamming HE..It's not a ship that can change the course of the game. It's far too passive for that. That then in turns puts more pressure on ships that HAVE to get stuck in to win the game. The game is already saturated with HE slingers and this just adds to it.
