We are going to be revisiting old ships more on the channel! But I'm going to let you guys pick. So down below let me know what ship you would like to seen played, reviewed, and featured in a video. The most votes win 👍
Buffguard is one I think you should take out for a spin! I tried a Tennant Agile Brawl build and it turned into a lot of fun! I wouldn’t recommend maining it though.
I absolutely love the Alabama, very slow velocity but it's beefy, has amazing AA, Rudder shifts on a dime and is almost a DD killer as well. It's one of my most played ships besides maybe the Saipan and Constellation
@@DerkaGames I had absolutely no idea what to do on WOWSL when I first started playing so I just started playing American ships, made the most sense since I'm American and knew of some of them. Got to the point where I had almost all the US ships in the vanilla tech tree and still practically ignored every other nation.
My div went all in on Alabama very early on. I chose a different route, holding out for Big Mamie--which we KNEW was coming, but just not when. Alabama was a helluva ship that first year and I did pick her up later, but div got a lot of use out of her from the getgo. A formidable ship, even to this day. I've been using her quite a bit of late, mostly due to her consistent performance.
Smart move lol interesting to hear so many Bama players coming out of the wood work! I rarely see this thing out. I see Massachusetts about every other game
The “Mighty A,” as she’s known at the park & museum in Mobile, was my 1sr GXP grind & I still play her almost every time I log into the game. She’s my fave ship in the game, although not my most played. Probably my 2nd most played after the Arkansas (before CVs showed up 😂). & I like the looks of the SoDak class slightly better than the Iowa class; but that’s just my opinion. Great video, Derka!
I started playing right at the end of the Atlanta campaign. This ship is one of my favorites. When I discovered Hipper’s channel I tried a rudder build on Bama. Mostly meh but it was hilarious having an under 8 second rudder shift.
Saw this ship irl years ago in Mobile. Really love the Alabama but haven't rolled her out in a while. I've just got so many ships that sometimes they get forgotten. Thanks for this one Derka...enjoyed watching👍
Thanks for this. I've got Alabama and you're right, there are so many options, she just doesn't come up in rotation as often. I agree with your placement as well. She is a great ship.
I've only had bama for about year and it's been my most played BB since. I have massa as well but there's just something about the dispersion and rudder shift that just FEELS slightly smoother
Spot on review as always. I got massa vs bama due to the flexibility of it and being able to mix it up some. I don't regret it and no need for bama unless she goes on sale
Instantly knew what ship you were gonna play when i saw the title xD "the other South Dakota" is a great ship and a really nice sniper that can also do everything else (unlike Champagne and Constellation for exemple) And i'll forever be biased over South Dakota class BBs wich is my favorite class, yeah even over the French ones
@@DerkaGames the perfect balance within that 35k tons treaty, only 200m, 9 406s, great AA, good armor, nice speed, the South Dakota got everything imo But yeah i still really like my Richelieu class, too bad it couldn't really do anything during the war, cuz if it did maybe i'd change my mind 🤔 JB is still my favorite warship though
@@DerkaGames yeah mostly SD herself, insane career along with Washington, too bad we don't have both in game, would love to see a line with these wich would have a superheal, better secondaries and reload but not the selling points we know about the US BBs Tier 8 : Washington Tier 9 : South Dakota Tier 10 : Wisconsin
Fleetmate and me took our Mamie and Bama to standard and we went on a full tear, topping 5 matches in a row! I love both but Id pick Bama for my preferred style. Plus best thing about Bama is because Mamie exists, opponents will often overlook you
Still will always love my Odin although maybe Bama for the next Green XP ship might be for me...great video of OG ships sir thank you....perhaps make your next review the Odin? :)
Gotta love that special Bama skin. That was a very juicy salvo on that Vanguard. I really enjoy my Massa, so this one will wait. Want Flounder and Loyang before this one. Gg🍻
hello, I'm new to your channel! I play this game on xbox series S! Can you recommend some ships to start with, some ships that are also available on the xbox version of the game! and something else at minute 5, I noticed in the clip that you put on some armor, what is their purpose, does it help? how is it put and where should it be put to be better?
You cannot change the armor on ships in the game if that's what you're asking. Whatever armor a ship has, that's just how it was constructed. If you're looking for ship lines to grind I would start with the American Battleships, they're easy to play and seems like you may already be interested in them.
My Hi's and Lows with Bama. Hi's - She's my highest damage record still after over 4 years at 259447, and Lows - being dev struck at full health whilst angled to a Georgia... I still enjoy her and take her out regularly, but you are correct, she is one of the rare sights in the game.
Wow that's an insane damage number!....And yeah I just played 5 matches last night in Atago. Not a single Alabama. Watched my two most recent streams, Not many Alabama's there either
I love this thing. One of my favorite battleships. I really enjoy using Arthas the Cold as an inspiration for a sizable boost to an already devastatingly heavy salvo.
Hey Derka, off topic but what happens when you let your premium days run out? Do you lose access to all your premium ships & special commanders? What about legendary/epic modifications?
Alabama is still my go-to T7 US battleship. I’m a sucker for the historical ships, and Alabama is consistently good. (If I had a Missouri, though, that might replace it.)
Just got the Alabama yesterday. I enjoy playing it, but I only have to look at a cruiser and fires start! Could use a buff to the hull's fire resistance maybe.
Every ship has to have weaknesses. If cruisers can survive being shot at by a BB for minutes then they should be able to burn it down. Otherwise nobody will play cruiser and the game will return to 6 Jean barts bow tanking and reversing while being torped by 3 Yudachis. Kutuzov and Chapayev quickly changed the Meta and we don't see 6 or 7 Jean barts any more.
Currently grinding my gxp back up for Alabama as I bought Yuudachi for gxp instead of using doubloons. I still see plenty of Alabamas in the wild when Im playing T6 - T7.
I have alternate my American T7 BBs Bama or AL New Jersey if i feel like sniping Mass or Mass B if i wanna brawl Kansas if i wanna bully and Iowa is if i feel nostalgic. And thats just the American BBs
What happens when the time ends on the campaign? Is there a week of cool off period like on world of tanks or does the next campaign start as soon as the last one finishes
Alabama is awesome. The armor scheme is better than Iowa, the AA I one of the best in class, and it is super consistent. The big thing with Alabama over any other American BB is the horizontal dispersion. It has the best maximum horizontal dispersion for a BB in the game. The Constellation feels better because of the BC dispersion formula.
Alabama is still goated. I would pick it over Massachussetts, because it’s a better sniper and 127mm secondary mounts get knocked out like the French secondaries.
No one plays? She is my favourite premium T7 BB :) She is more consistent than Massa in terms of accuracy. I agree that she performs best as a middle range sniper.
Look at Florida. I play with Florida alot and I never see that battleship in standard or AI. It's not a bad ship to be honest. Use kondo and Swirski for concealment.
I love The Alabama I actually think it does a better job. Removing cruisers Because it doesn't seem to overpin a lot. But could it be biased? Yes, because I live in Alabama. And we go see the ship once a year
@DerkaGames tis true. I love Massa, however lack of the option to set specific commander set up to a ship steers me away. I run Sims accuracy build on my American BBs, however I run a Sims with Hipper/Haruna combo for Massa. As a Kansas main it's annoying to have to spend commander xp to swap inspirations every time, which has made Massa collect rust as Atlantico exists at the tier with the same accuracy as a Lee build Massa. I'd play massa a lot more if there was a hybrid american commander.
@@DerkaGames I use the California to start every day because she's reliable, then I move on to the Alabama. Gives me an idea how the matches are going before I pick something else... or I just roll with the Alabama or the Missouri, which took forever to save steel for!!
`Fires are a problem for EVERY battleship not just the Alabama. The asberger / adhd kiddies prefer cheese pay2win boats that have high fire rates with erm... high fire rates - I said that right.... "Av set em on fyar! Look mummy look!" Its annoying as fuck. So needs a rework.

Massachusetts totally stole the spotlight, no doubt. I don't blame you =)
Alabama is a very good ship but its biggest weakness is that Massachusetts exists
Totally agree
Limited Offer means quantity not time, I messaged them. So u can only buy it once, doesnt mean that u can only buy it during a certain time
Ahhh okay haha I've always that it meant "this ship may no longer be available for GXP"

The Odin is awesome, but I've obliterated a few that charged me in the Alabama, she turns so fast that it's easy to dodge torps.

The Missouri is how you'd expect the Iowa to play, she's a bit different from the Alabama.
But it's worth the grind!!

Since I prefer mid to long range combat, Alabama was an easy pick over Masachusetts!
It's a tough choice for me but I lean to Massa. I love her secondaries with Lyons build
I just played a couple in her last night. Every now and again I throw her into the fight and she never disappoints.
Love to hear it
I have alternate my American T7 BBs Bama or AL New Jersey if i feel like sniping Mass or Mass B if i wanna brawl Kansas if i wanna bully and Iowa is if i feel nostalgic. And thats just the American BBs
Lots of options, for sure. It's why I haven't played her in ages. So many different picks =) and all good in their own way

Good to revisiting old ships, but Alabama just normal. Best: Jean Bart; then Missouri, Kansas, Georgia W...
No arguments about Jean Bart. At least Bama is available for GXP though...so players can still acquire her
I actually just played Mighty A Thursday got Kraken in it and got right off lol
I got the Massachusetts and my friend got the Alabama and they are very similar in my opinion
Nice =)
great ship, love it, plays very consistent for me.
