I play concealment build and with it, this ship hard counters more armoured traditional gunboats like Gearings, Khabas, Delnys, klebers. It's unbelievable the success I have had against DDs. And it eats light cruisers easy. Battleships are not safe either, so many times I wreaked the broadsides of battleships busy duelling a friendly. Plus a decent AA helps it with CVs. Very well rounded. The 25 mm belt makes it tanky against most DDs, just have to angle.
This ship is spectacular I run full guns like you and it just works I run bey with simms and mordoff got a kraken my first game great ship nice vid aaron 👍
Well played! Honestly, and I said that earlier, I am really impressed of your DD play. Few players who really know to play DD and know to play for the win. GG
I have Bey on all my German destroyers including Elbing with Sims and Jerzy all 3 commanders at 16-3 with OR, LAMN, T&T, SW and Unstoppable meanwhile on the boat I'm running Aimer, Engine, Concealment and Main Reloader which is the same as my Z-23 and ZF6 because I'm used to the 90 second torps but the AP on these German destroyers they do wreck both DDs, CLs and some CAs. Speaking about Will To Rebuild i heard TOMMYBOY601 i believe comment on one of his videos that WG is looking to rework that perk but Elbing is definitely a DD full of surprises.
I have an 8% torp accuracy.....if your torps are on your ship they can't do any damage. I'm like Oprah when it comes to launching torps(not hitting). And you don't have to land a torp strike to stop or turn an enemy ship around.
So Elbing V. Stalingrad, which would you suggest aiming for first? I have like... 2.2 mil GXP built up so I can afford one at the moment but I figured I'd ask the opinion of someone who to my knowledge, has both.
It depends on which ship type you like, for example I’m more of a cruiser player than a destroyer player. I have Stalingrad and it’s great, just don’t show broadsides lol
As someone that mostly plays BBs, WtR needs to be reworked or removed. There is no reason whatsoever that a BB should have infinite heals by sitting next to another friendly ship. If a person is having trouble surviving because of HE spam then that is either a positioning problem or they aren't using anything else to help them survive. Examples of survival assistance: Commander Skills - Not the One for Nuisance, Emergency Specialist, Fight Fire with Fire, Firefighter, Master Mechanic Modifications - Damage Control System Mod. 2, Concealment System Mod. 1 I don't use Steering Gears Mod or Propulsion Mod on most BBs anymore as I find Damage Control Mod is just better for survivability overall.
This comment has nothing to do with this dd. But I have a question is a Georgia W worth buying ? I would rather buy ship then Super mega Santa shitty crates. Thanks
I asked spartan if he'll get the elbing, and he said no and said he didn't know why anyone would get it, while saying it's a meme ship. I'm getting it as ill use it like a high tier russian dd
The argument for will to rebuild is so bird brained it’s baffling. Battleships should be working for crossfires, not sitting 2km from their buddy. As a bb main Will absolutely needs a rethink, it doesn’t promote good gameplay
Hi Aaron! You really like that THING??? 😱 You can have mine, too. For free! 😏 In my opinion this is the most useless and pointless ship in the game. 😅 Of course the guns are great... IF you catch someone on the broadside. If not there's little you can do in this ship. Torps are more or less useless. The smoke is useless, because almost every cruiser or DD at T7/8/⭐ has radar or at least sonar... Except this one. Agility is poor and your in trouble when fighting against any other DD. Unfortunately bought this desaster at the auction and I regret it every day. 🤦♂️
Just play a cruiser trash ship like Khabarovsk. You're lose most battles with other destroyers 8/10 times. Poor Concealment means you'll be spotted 1st poor guns means you'll be outpaced in firepower poor maneuverability means you can't Dodge torpedo's/fire effectively
Did you literally not watch the entire game? lol As I said in the video its a hard ship to play so its more so the commander playing it than the ship itself

Thanks mate, still need to refine some areas of my play in my own head (positioning) but we get better every game right.
Nice video Aaron, have had Elbing since day one, very tough to play correctly
I for sure getting it over the holidays
Definitely getting this super heavy destroyer/super light cruiser.
I'll definitely give this ship another look. Thanks for the review.

If I'm playing with friends and out of heal we always say hey need some 2x4s get over here
Seriously thinking of getting this as my next free xp ship
Elbing is the dd version of Baltimore very fun
Ships great just picked it up myself question who would you run as inspirations as I only how the free commanders ... firm handshakes
FIRM HANDSHAKES, Sims and maybe the other pan asian commanders
Ty

Exactly my dude haha

I mean Stalin is excellent but Elbing is so much fun

Killed every time it’s been in my games

If you dont have the regular Georgia yes but it might return at a later time
@@whereruaaron no i don’t have regular Georgia. Just started 8 months ago with this game. Is there any differences or are they same ?
If you can dd, get this boat…. It’s class
Would you recommend Elbing or Stalingrad? Currently sitting at 1.9M free xp.
Probably Stalin then Elbing but Stalin first, love my heavy cruisers
I asked spartan if he'll get the elbing, and he said no and said he didn't know why anyone would get it, while saying it's a meme ship. I'm getting it as ill use it like a high tier russian dd
Its not quite a meme ship as much as it is a very different style but its fun none the less
Is this ship $150 in terms of how much global xp you spend on it?
Probably more
Actually the best Part of the Christmas Update..
Exactly
I enjoy it but I'm having a tough time putting up big games in it. A major issue with the ship is it's battleship sized turning circle. It's absurd.
Yeah that circle is OOF, high damage games come and go dont worry too much
Aaron, syay "My Favorite this week, month, ect.. You say this quite often just so ya know!
welcome to RUclips
I might be one of the few that can get elbing right now because of my 1.9 million global xp but I won't because I am a bb main baby
So glad I didn't buy Kii for gxp. Just need 300k xp
As your balti and Des Moines sits in port going wtf a a ron
It will be a hard game for cruiser player if there is Elbing in the red team, sometime I can kill all the cruiser in a good match 😅
The argument for will to rebuild is so bird brained it’s baffling.
Battleships should be working for crossfires, not sitting 2km from their buddy. As a bb main Will absolutely needs a rethink, it doesn’t promote good gameplay
1000000%
Is it still your favorite ship…? lol
Haha one of them

NOOOO ITS SO MUCH FUN! Try it like a cruiser
Could be better
