Any chance of Yubari resale

[Armen_13]

damn i was on holiday and was not checking the site for a month i always wanted to get the yubari now i missed it what do you think will they put it in the store again ?

[ollonborre]

Maybe for christmas or some special event. Would not count on it in the near future though.

[Comrad_StaIin]

anyway dont get it  it is still garbage even after the glorious accuracy buff

?

 

 

Bought mine last sale.

 

What exactly qualifies the Yubari as "garbage" ?

 

 

 

 

[Comrad_StaIin]

yes you just showed us how good it "can" be but I would like to get the Yubari as built with 2 more 140mm guns

[Bortasqu]

If you only want it for the collection, I'd just simply wait for it again.

 

The ship itself is really bad. Long traveltime on the shells, 6km torpedoes with terrible 30 degrees or something firing arcs and really bad AA. Oh, and you only get 1 AA charge. That's right, ONE AA charge to use within a 20min battle.

[ajappat]

How the hell do you guys come up with yubari having bad AA? Pop AA charge and tier 4 squadrons will fall like flies. Tier 5 squadrons could get away with some planes though. Premium AA charge has 2 uses and skill can get you third.

 

Stat wise my yubari sits in middle of my other tier 4 cruisers.

It is good, but it used to have amazing AA. It was nerfed along with all ships that had the 20MM bofors or some other specific AA gun, can't remember now. That gun made up its main AA armament...

Now post your other tier 4 cruiser stats.

 

A quick look at any stat site will show it is underwhelming still.

 

I don't think people want it to be better in a fight with other T4 CAs but many people want its AA buffed back to what it used to be.

Because most players are bad at aiming / playing, yup.

Yubari is by far the worst piece of crap in this game. If I could, I would donate it to the OP.

She is NOT crap.

 

Yubari has limited mm - she only has to fight tier 5 enemies.

 

She is fast like a DD, agile, has very accurate guns, nice torps and good AA (for tier IV).

 

To counter all these advantages she's fragile, so what?

 

Use your speed and accurate guns to choose your fights, stay at range in the beginning and get closer later....

 

....instead of yolo'ing  directly into the enemy...this ship is not a brawler.

[Shagulon]

She's not crap but below average for two reasons. Her main strength was nerfed indirectly and there are not a lot of CVs playing anyway.

 

Agreed you can still come top in her quite regularly, but you can come top in virtually any ship.

 

If you want to get a low tier CA get a Murmansk. That is a very strong premium low tier CA.

 

If you want to play a ship with a fairly unique feel, go for the Yubari, but don't expect her to be a great credit earner.

Rest easy, the Yubari will be back in the store before long. There's no way WG will have put in the effort to upgrade the ship with special moduels and stuff, without planning to keep it available now and then.

[Trigger_Happy_Dad]

Not sure what kind of godlike AA the Yubari had in CBT, but right now she still is the best AA ship at tier IV and the ONLY ship at tier IV with defensive AA fire ("T") which can disrupt enemy torpedo bombers and dive bombers' aim.

 

When there are 2 tier IV CVs in the game my Yubari can kill 15 - 20+ planes.

 

More than any other ships around me (except when there's a CV player who's good at strafing).

[beercrazy]

yubari is at best a good ship but does perform well in the right situations

problem is those "right" situations are getting less and less due to fact hardly anyone plays low tier carriers now (I know its a carrier special this weekend but it wont change the long term numbers playing carriers)

the guns are nice but with just 4 firing at enemy where they usually at that tier (4) have twice the number to fire back at you

god awful torpedo arc that usually means suicide to turn broadside to get em in the water

 

the good points are good accuracy, good aa, and good torp damage when you do hit mean she does perform well with good captains but it aint a forgiving ship unless you know how to play well

[Shagulon]

I think I would be happy with small AA buff, nothing major.

 

Also they could make her torp firing arc a little more usable.

 

Other than that she is v competitive. Inspired me to play a game in her this morning, got a Kraken...

 

[orlathebeast]

people who don't know how f***** good yubari is now will cry forever. and i'm happy, i hope this ship will never be resaled, because noone vill understand who yubari is, now, the best cruiser tier 4 in game and i have no problem to say this. every battle at tier 4-5 there is a CV or 2, when a hosho or a langley try to ruine your they he lose 8-10 aircraft and his battle is gone, destroyers simply can't hold the line vs your supper accurate 140 mm guns, your agility allow you to dodge BBs and CL fire, and you have the advantage to schoose when and where start fighting thx to your superb 8.1km spotting range. at the end, your torpedoes are powerfull, 63 knots fast (damn dudes, they are fast for tier 4) and you can oneshoot a tier 5 bb with your torps. it's fragile? yes. of curse you can't have and atago at tier 4. but i SKILLED player is able to make a sloughter... having fun in the meantime btw, if you aren't able to drive this little jewel, it's not my fault.

[Procrastes]

A Yubari went one-on-one against my Gremyaschy a while ago. We started trading shots, but after having received the third citadel hit the Yubari decided to go ply her trade elsewhere. She didn't get very far though.

 

But generally, yeah, you're right. A Yubari on the roll can make life decidedly unpleasant for most destroyers it faces in battle.

Gremy can only citadel Yubari if Yubari shows broadside to Gremy.

 

That's nothing any decent Yubari player would do, especially since Yubari doesn't even have to show broadside to fire both turrets at Gremy.

 

But yea, most players just have no clue.

All of you keep forgetting that Yubari is played usually with a very skilled captain, and by an experienced player, beta at least.

[Acetessigester]

Are you sure you want that paper ship?

[Trigger_Happy_Dad]

And?

 

Put a skilled captain + CBT player on any other tier IV cruiser and you still won't be able to get the Yubari performance out of a Karlsruhe / Phoenix / Kuma / Svetlana.

 

 

[EsaTuunanen]

Gremy can only citadel Yubari if Yubari shows broadside to Gremy.

At 10km range angle tolerance for penetration would be small.

But at point blank ranges stopping 130mm AP would probably need auto-bounce mechanic triggering amount of angling.

This Kuma with its better than Yubari armor is more than "slightly" angled:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/1parmmlfw53ql0k/Kuma%20Citadelled.jpg?dl=0

 

But definitely wouldn't count on having enough side visible for penning belt armor.

Penetrating both side ahead of citadel and citadel's front bulkhead would be probably also possible...

Though also bow can auto-bounce and correct hitting point would be "smallish" so another bad idea to count on that.

 

So I would do it from ambush/using offensive smoke unless Yubari were looking elsewhere/distracted.

[TheCinC]

I think I saw somewhere yesterday her guns got a buff?

 

She hasn't been for sale since CBT, afaik, so you didn't miss anything.

She will no doubt be on sale again at some point, just like HMS Warspite and Sims.

[Procrastes]

 

And?

 

Put a skilled captain + CBT player on any other tier IV cruiser and you still won't be able to get the Yubari performance out of a Karlsruhe / Phoenix / Kuma / Svetlana.

 

 

 

True enough. And that "Yubari performance" is actually the main reason why I like the ship - it is one of those special ships whose playstyle really doesn't quite compare to any other.

But of those other ships you mentioned, the Kuma at least is a much stronger and more versatile warship, in my opinion.
