potato is really good atleast in my opinion. 

[doerhoff_damian]

English Speaking Channels: Flamu, Flambass, Notser

German Speaking Channels: Arctica, Spiel Center

[Skye_Tank_Dog]

I watch an NA CC called  An Iolair Ghorm . He's english speaking and very good at breaking down the new WG updates and his ship reviews are great to watch. He has started streaming on youtube and twitch alot more lately and is very open to answering questions.

Check out his youtube

Atothek101 has some nice analysis aswell

But it also depends on what skill level u have...

If your an average player notser or arctica as german are good videos to watch,

If your already quite good then those player arent good enough to bring you further, then i would watch flamu or potatoquality or atothek, since they understand the game much better then the rest of the content producer.

Potato Quality is very helpful - https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCBFA9P66jbOH-tHY7azdr3w

Flamu's channel has some good advice. His video on how to play the Nurnberg was very helpful, as I was getting nowhere with it at first.

I'm a fan of our own resident @Adm_Ballsey aka Carbine Carlito on Youtube/Twitch.

true.

overall, flamu is still the go-to-guy. I personally learned a lot there back in the day. --> https://www.youtube.com/c/Flamuu/videos

I wouldnt watch PQ for learning the game. He is too much focused on "BBs weak - Cruisers strong". While he does provide some insight to his playstyle, i sometimes feel he is too focused on talking about other stuff. Also i feel he is getting away with a lot of weird plays, which actually should get him killed but for some reason nothing happens, which can be quite misleading.

 

Id advice to watch Flamu, you cant go wrong with him. Also watch some of the older videos, like BB positioning or one of his Missouri videos - excellent for how to play BBs (dunno which one, i assume he has more than 1 vid tho).

Makes a big difference if u watch his livestream or his youtube content...

On twitch its a lot if mimimi, your right there

Flamu is very skilled in every class. If you struggle with a certain ship, type Flamu+NameOfShip in YT and there you go. usually you get to see him playing a match with said ship, some thoughts plus recommended build and how to skill the captain. Overall each vid is a great package of ca 20 minutes.

 

Notser is a good player but he gets some mechanics and details wrong. Still, as a beginner I learned a lot from him, no question.

 

Flambass is generally very skilled and a funny dude to watch but has been burned out lately. Great gameplay with grumpy ranting about everything regarding the game.

 

IalorGhorm (or so) is a calm bloke and his videos and streams are pleasant to watch + listen to.

 

Some players suggested you to have a look at PotatoQuality. He is very skilled in BBs but also very centered around them. And he made some mind-boggling statements lately and I would not recommend him.

[Jethro_Grey]

As others said, Flamu.

 

He is one of the few YTers who explains things.

Most others just cherry pick their best games and while they do comment on things, it's not really helpful if you want to learn. Even the older vids are for the most part still valid,  although you have to take into account things like 12km radar and SAP cruisers.

 

Sadly, GamebredTV stopped playing WoWS and has little content in that regard, however his streams are always very educational.

 

As for streams, Flamu, Flambass, Trenlass and Choicerino are pretty good players and you can learn a lot just by watching.

 

One more recommendation, most here will probably not agree with is The Mighty Jingles.

 

While he does occasionally get things wrong,  he get a lot of basic things right and his earlier vids are very helpful for new players.

It should be noted however, that his content is 70% entertainment and 30% educational. 

 

It might - depending on how new a player is - be easier digestible. Watch Jingles, then Flamu.

 

 

Stay away from all YT vids, that have clickbait titles like "4k base, 9 kills, 300k damage" unless its a (earlier) flamu vid.

 

You will not learn much there.

[Yedwy]

Flamu and Flambass are decent sources, just ignore the mimimi part of the vids and focus on the content itself esp way they position and why they do it like that...

[Full_HP_Satsuma_at_J5]

I would totally recommend this guy. Pretty good in destroyers and cruisers and his videos are kind of special. Very young channel, so you can expect a lot more content in the future.

 

Oh wait, that's me! 

 

Surprisingly, no one has mentioned The Sailing Robin yet. So I'm gonna drop a link to his channel as well since his editing style inspired me a lot and he's definitely among the best players across all servers. Unfortunately, he neither plays nor uploads regularly any more, I guess he's probably to busy with Legends. His videos are still an absolute treat, though.

Flamu and Aerroon (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLOQoJ6G4D04d05fxjfPHPQ). Aerroon has been at this game since CBT.

[RenamedUser_92906789]

Keep in mind one thing.

 

This vids also become obsolete due to constant changes. So keep an eye on the date of the vids.

[principat121]

If you are interested in improving in carrier game play, I would recommend TopTier's Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/TopTierwows/videos

 

He has gameplay highlights in normal ships (and from other players) and provides Tips&Tactics videos for carrier from himself.

[pra3y]

Can't believe no one suggested NoZoupForYou 

[FlyingBender]

In spanish (yes WG we are still here) there is a very good channel: Pirates Army

I like several different Youtubers for different reasons

 

Destroyer Kuroshiokai : From an educational stand point I would say he is a must. Although a destroyer main he also talks about other types of ship. He will do entire videos on general gameplay rather than focusing on a single ship. For example he has videos on situational awareness, how to spot, shooting targets in smoke. I find his explanations excellent.

 

Flamu : As people have said he is very knowledgeable and I get a lot out of his videos but in particular he occasionally does "Replay Analysis" videos in which he comments on replays people have sent him and focuses on pointing out ways to improve and how he would do things differently. Of his videos, I find these in particular are useful.

 

Carbine Carlito : Does good ship breakdowns talking about an individual ships strengths and weaknesses and ways to play it.

 

Knotser : Is another who makes interesting videos in which he commentates on his own games explaining his thinking as he goes, very useful for learning the sorts of things you should be considering when deciding a course of action.

 

Flambass : Also really knows the game. I find he is 50% entertainment and 50% educational. He did a few videos in which as he played he explains every decision he is making in his head and why and I found these really helpful, search for flambass and "school of wows".

 

Mighty Jingles : Is a great laugh. As said before he is about 70% entertainment but he is also educational. Most of his games are replays sent to him and you can certainly learn what not to do when he points them out. "Broadside on to a battleship, thats a paddlin!". Some of his videos are also educational in that he will talk about the history of the real ship being played which can be fascinating.

 

Aetam : Commentaries on his and other peoples replays.

I also learned the same way, by watching the better players YouTube.

 

The ones I often view is Flamu, Flambass and Potato Quality.

 

If you are trying to learn I would stay away from No Zoup.

Not even port? 

[Dai9Gut]

Flamu is my go-to. NoZoup for you is okay too and has some guides.

[SirTogII]

If you want help and a somewhat different view on how to play DDs, this guy is very good imo https://youtube.com/channel/UC-CVV_QxU4CesZL5pvdJw4A 

 

edit: I see Gebbly already had Kuro listed but yes he is criminally underrated and under viewed.
