I beat an Atlanta toe to toe at 10km with the Kiev. I was laughing hysterically. Nobody else could shoot me because of the island set up and the Atlanta just kept making mistakes. Most fun I've ever had in a DD against an Atlanta. Also 23 citadel hits to a New Orleans at 3.2km for a sink before he could get the guns around and push off the island he was letting guys off on. This ship is fun at range though for sure.
This is a prime example of what happens when you ignore the caps in Domination. It also shows that damage isn't everything; you only had 25k damage and still finished 1st. Sadly I doubt Johnny Potato will get the memo.
The longer reload and smaller HP pool are still a factor. The heals are nice, but Kidd has those too. I’d still take Kidd in a knife fight unless there’s a lot of open water. Even in that case, Kidd will outspot Kiev and can disengage and dictate the terms of reengagement.
I see your point, as a DD hunter Kidd is probably still king as a general purpose DD, kiev looks pretty good. The heal is the things that bothers me. That was the pwrk that truly made the Kidd special. Maybe they should give Kidd its second set of torps back or even better let you build it so its short torps reload quicker.
Any body having a hard time playing the king george I can't seem to get any decent games in it these days just wondering is it me or did they nerf it or is it just all the new ships are superior ?
Twist versus Track vs Perceptive on your Trubetskoy; with your build of Vian (Dispersion of incoming) and Sims (Gain in HP) why not use Perceptive? Is Traverse speed that much improved for Kiev?
@@TbullGaming even keeping Trubetskoy and just changing from Twist and Track to Perceptive on Trubetskoy? See the difference... as Trubetskoy would have added Dispersion right?
Firepower Deluxe Edition of the game itself...it gives you 4 very nice Premium ships (Arizona, Iwaki, Arkansas, and one other), for $29 US dollars? Something like that...

Got this in a reward crate a while back, got it fully upgraded now.
Been having a lot of good games with it, it's very strong.

Another great video. I've got this ship, but I'll have to get her out on the seas again, it's been a little while.
Congratulations on 20k 🎊🙂
Congrats on 20k
Love this ole Tbull content. Still good reliable game play input.
Congrats for 20k !
Congrats on the 20k subscribers Tbull!!!! Another great vid, keep up the good work sir 👍

I noticed the good ballistics when playing it.
Well-played. Don't have any of the new Russian DDs yet but looking forward to trying them out
I don’t have the IV or V but this one is fun. Hope you enjoy them when they come out. :)
Whats the difference between the Russian DD lines?
@@l.palacio9076 Basically gun boats vs. torp boats, in this case they’re not necessarily torp boats but more of a hybrid.
The Soobrazitelny (tier iv) and Kiev (vi) are nice, the Boevoi is kind of a clunker.
At 20k when i watched this. Well done.
congrats at reaching 20,000
I like this ship a lot, actually I'm using it like a mini cruiser with makarov on agile build and 3 health
On my way too this ship Got the Boevoi in a crate, surprisingly got the tier 4 also , diging these Ruskie dds , go figure .
20k! I see it...it's official!
@tbull please try the other DD commander for this line... He just is amazing
Did I just hear an emperor palpitine quote ? 😂
I’m glad someone else caught that. Just dropping it in there nonchalantly.
Pretty cool ship
My buddy has it and it looks nasty...
Post game screen = locker room now.
So with longer torps, quickish guns that are flatter, longer range and a heal, is this the new Sherriff?
I'd still say the Kidd still holds the title of Sheriff, but Kiev definitely looks like a Deputy!

Ima need me one of those
It's certainly much more user friendly than the Minsk, that's for sure.
C'mon 20k!
I want the Kiev but just has eluded me and I’ll probably have to grind the boevoi It’s not the funnest ship to play. Not really good at anything 😂
Oof. Yeah, Boevoi is a tough grind. I luckily got Kiev in a crate, so I’ll probably never finish my Boevoi grind! The Soob is pretty fun at T4 though.

18.6 seconds traverse on my Gurin build and 13.6 on this one. Significant difference

@@kenkearns7804 you can make the case for both
The Udaloi will be much better, heals and smoke at tier 7
20K!!!!
I need a bit of advice please Tbull. Out of the packs currently available. Which is the best one to buy please. This is the ps4 store not in game

@@typhonukgaming9701 well there is a UK version, but it is by far the best deal they have
What kind of camo is that ?
It's called Fire Dragon, pretty rare
@@TbullGaming should have bought that new years crate.....
What's "located" ?
When you are the closest ship to a ship running the twist n track type perks
Get that 20k boyz. To honest here this match is not accurately show case the kiev. That fletcher kind of doing stupid things ever.
Really? A dangerous Russian destroyer?
Up down left and right..really pulling on that speed nob! 🤣
Congrats on 20k
