He is a good player, but not close to good enough giving advice on all ships across all classes?

It is and remains the best pick for t8 very closely followed by Shoukaku and then Lexington. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Excellent players like xSOlitude, Potato Quality, Flambass are much better to watch to improve my game. Then there are the RagingCanadian and GGRamst on YouTube are much better to learn than Sea Lord. I just don't see why a 54%WR players after 10k games thinks he is qualified to teacher others. I have similar WR as him after 3500 random games, and there are more stuff I don't know than I learned so far. @Zuihou_Kai_Ni I watch MrCootie, Pikach Lv32 and Rei Yukihyo on Twitch for unicum level CV play. Use to like Ahskance, but his team play focused style don't work very well in the steamroll games currently. Do you have any suggestions who to watch to improve CV WR?

I know Flambass picks Kaga over Enterprise and any other t8 Carrier. Kaga rocket planes are useless, HE bombers are Ok and the torp have LONG aiming distance, so someone not potato can dodge the torps even in BB. I only got the Enterprise after rocket rework in Xmas containers. She is still OP for my shity skill level, but have highest PR for all US CV. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well he has been playing at the same skill level for the past 4 years, he achieved very good stats, but it doesn't demonstrate to me as someone who has mastered this game. Therefore, should just steam for entertainment and not as a goto guy to learn about the game. Added my yearly stats just to shows what watching wows players who knows what they are talking about (not him) can help improve your game by a lot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[BATES] ItsEyeJasper Players 559 posts 14,433 battles Report post #19 Posted February 14 You lot need to understand that this is his opinion. I personally watch very few videos other than PQ, Flamu and Flambass. SLM videos have popped up here and then and i watch them but its not to say that i take any advice from any single one of them. If i am struggling with any ship i will seek out good game play from anyone. even if the player is technically worse on average. At least i am exposing myself to as much info as possible. If i had to pick one over-hyped ship i would definitely say its the Puerto Rico. People often think it should be as good as a Stalingrad. But when you play it you find the guns are absolutely dreadful at range pretty ok at close range and all it has left that is going for it is being very tanky vs citadels. Does this mean i am right? No. it just means this is what i think about the ship and in my opinion i dont think people should be sad for not getting her as i feel she is not as good as people expect.

I agree on that but nobody will be able to dodge the second set of torps... Kaga is quite simple and can spam torpedo planes all game long if you know a bit what you're doing. BTW I think my Kaga rocketplanes are rusted solid to the deck. Forgot it even has them... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kaga is very beginner friendly but for a top end player she offers very little that Lexington does not provide more of. Lex has significantly better rockets and bombs while the torps are at least on par with similar alpha and a tighter drop. The only thing Kaga really does better is having massive reserves, but those are generally not needed if you know how to handle AA. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know Flambass picks Kaga over Enterprise and any other t8 Carrier. Kaga is almost OP. If she had Shokaku rocket planes - I would put her in the same level as Enterprise. But she's a bit lacking. Still she's #2 CV on T8 so yeah.... Very powerful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
