BBs and DDs are the kings of T- 3 4 5. Cruisers are tough to play. I am glad I realized that early in my WOWS career. best tip I can give is ....play in support of your teammates. supporting the DDs is job one. if you don't want to support your team then head straight for the enemy DD and try to push them out or sink them. A cruiser trade for a DD is worth it.
You say you are 30 and have peaked in so many words but I am 55 and still enjoy playing and watching your videos! Keep up the good work. Now that Tbull is gone the teaching is all on you now.
I love the fact that you mentioned not all Cruisers should be played the same. Shimanto is a great example of a long range HE spam ship that is best when you support BBs in open water. Rochester is a great example of an American Cruiser, I have my best games with the ship when I use island cover and catch enemy Cruisers broadside.
Hey Aaron, thanks to your videos I was able to get my first 4k xp game a couple of days ago and I've now been able to get 3k games more often as compared to none before. I still have a lot to learn but I really appreciate the work you do. The game has become way more frustrating to play though.
Now that I got my silliness out of the way.....A A Ron is correct about the Pensacola, I was able to citadel a broadside Fuso several times. The guns on this floating creature are monstrous....simply monstrous. It CAN be blown to the moon but it can wreck the opposition like Godzilla wrecks Tokyo.
I’ve been playing for five years and started on the German line. Nurnberg is still my personal best performing T5 cruiser. I love it. Pensacola is really strong, and is one of those ships I thought was terrible until I became a better player. I went back and played it again a couple of years later and realized it was me that had been terrible, not the ship.
Good video. Pensacola is so much more forgiving after it's big buff. Only the OG's know the pain of Pensacola and New Orleans pre buff. Those super slow turrets and zero armor B4 buff 😂😂😂
The Americans are a great starter nation. They teach a lot of the basic lessons, and all the other nations have special playstyles that build off those basics@@Jw15918
I need to give this ship another shot I hated it when I was grinding it. New Orleans was the ship that really got me into cruisers. I never had a good game in Pensacola, partially because I did not utilize the AP that American heavy cruisers are known for and partially because I did not understand positioning very well.
When I was grinding it I went into battles telling myself I hated it, then I'd do really well with it. Pound for pound seems like the most consistently hard hitting AP at the tier. It can be pretty disgusting
Pensi is good fun and strong when played well. I think that the problem is that everyone gets it not long into first playing the game and doesn't fully understand how to play it correctly yet. I used to just charge in and get smashed, now i play a bit more tactically and do well in it.
Id say regular cruiser Pensacola, Gorky and the other teir 5 Russian cruiser that starts with a B. Premium i got graff spee as number one the london as number 2 , Molotov at 3
You just can't get on the Pennsacola, and it will be the best tier 5 cruiser. It isn't the ship. It is the Commanders abilities along with player abilities. The best shot in any cruiser is the turn away deck shot with HE!
@whereruaaron ap shells on cruisers are the weakest form of shell against Battleships and DDs. They are way more efficient than HE against other cruisers. That is a fact across the board. You got a little lucky with a few shots against the same Tier Battleships that are taking damage from other ships on your team. One on one and ass ended damage from well ran, same tier battleships would do some serious damage to you. Also, hiding behind islands is a coward move for so many reasons. Players are getting accustomed to doing this because of people like you doing these videos. There is only 1 reason to hide behind an island. When you can clearly, efficiently, and accurately support other ships, in movement progression, objective advantages, and forward progress support. Otherwise, you are a coward player and probably shouldn't play the game. Maybe you should clarify your position.
Bad BB mains being the Vegeta of ships. Try as hard as you can to goat cruisers into just sitting there and taking the hit only to be second best in the end.
This is all well & good but I'm here to announce my intention on going all WWE Heel by declaring my intent to Ram opponents. I will even yell "Boom Shocka-Locka!!!" at the point of impact, followed by me laughing like Dr. Frankenstein, strictly for dramatic purposes. I probably shouldn't post stuff when I'm a bit soused but...I take that back, yes I should, therefore my name is Moony The Looney and I approve this message. 😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜
This is the cruiser I learned all my hard lessons on. And at first made me say, “cruisers are stupid”. Now they are my favorite class
100000%
You did it completely wrong. You played the Pepsicola the complete game without getting devstruck. Do you even know what you are doing?!?
Unfortunately he doesn't 😔

Lol

That's excellent man! 4K is no joke. Keep up the good work
Pensacola and Baltimore are sooo nasty when used properly, love em.

Nice gameplay. The Pensacola is underrated for sure.

New Orleans is very difficult to master but god tier once you do
I whole heartedly agree , p-cola is great , but like any ship...broadside is death
This is useful as i just started playing this game on mobile last month
Also just wanted to know which nation is best for new players
You should really play them all! American BBs are a great starting point but they are all good!
@@whereruaaron thanks

This was my most played ship for the longest time. Definitely a baptism by fire. I really should take it out more often.
Aaron clubbing seals, sounds about right lol. Awesome tips

I've never been devstruck in the Pensacola, guess I'm just built different at this point 😂

Cheesy
Where’s that Mikoyan upload? 😮 it’s op
Move your inscreen headshot off of any relevant data on the screen. Like, the throttle juking
There's not really a better place to put it but yes I know it's in the way of the throttle, ill see if I can move it some
Id say regular cruiser Pensacola, Gorky and the other teir 5 Russian cruiser that starts with a B. Premium i got graff spee as number one the london as number 2 , Molotov at 3
Budyonny is the one your referring to
Nuremberg is the best at teir 5, if you use the rear turrets to peak islands.
That's a very specific scenario you have to get a ship in order to claim its the best
I'm inspired to dig up my ole P'cola and show ya that i can be as horrible as anyone else in this game 🤣 Good game in the glass cannon
Lmao
I wonder why they worried about giving Pensacola its pc armor? Still love Pensacola guns no complaints other than reload
What is your xp record in this ship
4475 or so, its on my channel (bunch of paid actors lol)

Leading AP shots all day

How to become a better cruiser player- (watch Aaron)
lol that is part of it yes

😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜
lol
Nah man the correct spelling is Pen the colada 😂
My favourite target when i am in my youga 😂😂 After omaha, best devstrike 😂
Its Pepsicola...not Pensacola lulz
Lies this ship is a grenade with no pin
lol
Amateur!
Why don't u move urself away from important info and place urself somewhere empty on the screen?
Because I'm an amateur
@@whereruaaron I wouldn't go that far but move ur thumbnail to a empty place on the screen so we can see you ship speed etc
Still my favorite T5 cruiser on the American side.
