That this thing is still relevant and even competitive, despite being literally the oldest tier 8 premium in the game, speaks to just how beautifully balanced it is.
i dont see it like that because why would u play a kiting cruiser stationary, what you said makes more sense when it comes to the american cruiser line.
@@grillmeisterflash I didn't mean you should camp an island like it was a Des Moines or Stalingrad. What I meant by "good positioning" is picking flanks where you can do most of the damage. Only situation where I would be stationary with Atago is if I could farm lots of enemies unspoted, maybe behind some island or from a friendly smoke.
Haven't played in a few years but Atago was always my favorite premium cruiser. Pop a waifu captain on it and _chef's kiss._ PQ said it. Atago needs long battles. Zerg games make it very hard to get it to work.
Ggs PQ I was the Tennessee in that first game. I should’ve thought to go with HE when the first couple salvos just bounced. Wasn’t expecting Atago to turn that fast!
Normal pass premium BF crate gave me Atago B. Went for the premium pass and got Yoshino B. Last year was Mainz. That was some insane luck with crates. And usually I'm really unlucky with that stuff. Bought 20 Premium crates for cash during BF 2019 and got only 1 ship. That's when i stopped paying cash for crates.
The presence of a heal on T7-8 cruisers makes a huge difference to me. All my favorites have one - Boise, Surrey, San Diego, Fiji, Edinburgh. They can take a few hits and hang in there and have impact. On the other hand, take a big hit or two without a heal and your game is totally altered, your impact suppressed.
2:30 Not sure a heal at T8 is all that unique anymore. I mean we have some tech tree Cruisers with standard armour being given heals at T8, T7 even. Auckland and Cataluna both having them at T8, and Asturias having one at T7. Those ships are also free. Cataluna having effectively the same DPM as Atago, and Auckland having better DPM and the crawling smoke. While not having as good of concealment both ships are free, have a very similar play-style and a heal. Atago just isn't worth the money these days IMO. Though I'm of the opinion she was never really worth it, but that does come down to personal preference, and it's fine if you like the ship. It's okay to like ships that are only okay, it's okay to like ships that are bad. Like shit my favourite ship is Gascogne, and she's not great by any metric except her heal, that because she's a French BB covered in 32 she'll need far more often than most other ships would. Like can't help but feel, you would be enjoying Myoko just as much as Atago. Seeing as you are effectively just a Myoko with a longer reload and a heal, and situation-ally better torp angles. I just can't see paying money for that.
As a new player I have a big questions about settings: Enable track target (while aiming) or not? I just cant hit with my main battery... Thanks in advance!
Small Question could u make a Video about ur Settings and Mods? Id think it would help me and alot more people since its easier to follow the way u aim and so on.
I got her from Free Battle Pass (Despite I’m already having Atago, so it isn’t feels great) get the free dubs to unlock premium pass and get the USS Black B afterwards. Sometimes I question my luck in video games. It always the game I hate that have the best luck.
Atago was my first premium, too, because so many said it was so good. For me, kind of "meh." Tankier than Mainz for sure, but I just do WAY better in Mainz. Difference in playstyle, my dmg in Atago is decent, but game impact just bad.
@@ingenierianarrativa645 i started playing the game one year ago my winrate went to 48% and PR of like 600-800 then i purchased atago and my WR in this ship is after 250 battles over 60% with a PR of 2000. I dont play it stationary and im all the time on the move kiting only, use the rudder shift module to make it turn faster and learn the kiting playstyle and this boat becomes a beast!
@@ingenierianarrativa645 not every ship is for everyone, i suck hard with cossack but vampire2 and ragnar work for me, no idea why to be honest maybe the guns are just not for me.
WG needs to address the issue of blowouts. I had 6 in a row yesterday, all against me. Sure, there will be days that I also have some in my favour, but I'll end up doing nothing - and that's no fun at all. You don't feel you're in control of anything.
Ignore the previous comment; I've seen some really good players use it on some DDs (gun-boats in particular, which like to slug it out with other DDs).
my friend and i were smoking a jay and i was explaining about WOWS to him, and i kept saying angling, and like 8 minutes into the conversation he looks over to me with lizard eyes and says, "dude im so ripped, who is Ang Ling?" i just about laughed myself off the porch.
Did the Atago get buffed, or maybe the black version? I got the Atogo when it first came out for sale years ago and it was fun, but over the years seemed less effective. I’ll have to dust it off and give it another go. Edit 0:31 What is the “Mines” he’s comparing the atago to? 2nd edit: NM, he’s referring to the Mainze, which I thought was pronounced “Main-ze”, not “Mines” haha
Yeah, Mainz is pronounced closer to Mines than Main-zee. The "Z" in Mainz has a kind of "T" sound like the "zz" in "pizza", but the "Main" part is pronounced "Mine".
IJN Cruisers give me the absolute greatest feeling of contributing to a game in which I'm not contributing not to, haha. There is something very gratifying landing those huge alpha salvoes, but you can shoot a BB for a solid minute without them being too bothered, these days.
Uploaded 1 Minute ago, im calling: - CV rant - Sub rant - Aim assist rant Edit: I didnt mean to blame, i dont mind the rants and i totally agree with all of PQs points! I just tried to make a joke
Don't watch the video then...? CVs and Subs are absolute cancer, and aim bug still (sometimes) happens. If calling out bad things about an game is ruining content for you, go watch something else.
@@siewierszczyzna Did you even read the comment? I was talking about aim assist rants which are absolute bollocks. And yes, calling out bad things is great, that's exactly what I am doing. Bye bye.

Atago is one of the best ships to teach you about the values of patience and good positiong.
i dont see it like that because why would u play a kiting cruiser stationary, what you said makes more sense when it comes to the american cruiser line.

@@bradulovic82 yes, now i understand what you mean - for sure thats how u play it
Mainz was better back before they nerfed her amour.
It also teaches you that CVs ruin concealment.
Normal Atago was my first Premium back in the day. And I still love it.
Ah, my favourite Ranked cruiser with her sister ship, Tone (despite the lack of radar).
Haven't played in a few years but Atago was always my favorite premium cruiser.

Atago always one of my favourite ships!
My most played ship by far. It's fantastic.
I got the Atago B from a premium Black Friday Container from the Battlepass. Ship feels great

Same thing happened to me also

Why no Georgia review, cmon guys let’s get a vote going!
i had a t8 game early this morning, like 2am PST, with 2 CVs, and THREE subs.
18:05 We live in such a crazy time that even a distance measurement unit is subject to inflation, ey? :D
As a new player I have a big questions about settings: Enable track target (while aiming) or not? I just cant hit with my main battery... Thanks in advance!
yess you should, but aiming is a bit tricky, you should see PQ aiming video
Any chance to make a Tier list video for ranked, but use tech line ships only?
i far prefer the ARP Takao.
hehehehe

Absolutely dominates in ranked!
As a season player I really like San Diego with health thingy , are there more ships like it?? till tier VIII
Best Tier8 cruiser in the entire game.
I can't make it work for me... My first doublon ship I buyed, and the last I want to play... is terrible for me.

This isn’t a ship request but command skill request: I have started testing Dazzle and actually seems to be neat gimmick. Any opinions?
No its shit.

@@EvoraGT430 No. You dont have spare point in your build. There is always something better to pick than Dazzle.
Please which is better- Napoli- or -brisbane- Cruiser

Indonesian Ship Siliwangi. More HP than LoYang but same hydro. Recently got BUFFED!!!
Spoiler alert:
HIGH SKILL CEILING
i want this ship because it's sister in godzilla minus one xD
pa paka pan
Day asking for Strasbourg. It’s also good in ranked
day 2 of asking you to play Borodino😀

Day 4 of asking pq to play N.Carolina
Ask on a ship request video.
never understand what this goof finds so funny
Some people are easy going and laugh easily
FIRST
worst T8 cruiser
I wouldn't say worst, but I'm not a fan either. I just do well with a different style - Mainz, Balti, Cleveland, even Harlem is very strong for me.
