Russian ships having the best and thickest armor is hilariously stupid and ironic. Russia did not have the capabilities to make thick enough plating similar to other battleships. Yet here in game its compensated for with make believe. I really do think that wargaming is sucking up to russia hard. Its bizarre

Ohhh that's why... They are still holding a grudge after the glorious, invincible, god-tier russian navy was totally obliterated during the Battle of Tsushima.
@@xLuna18 There was a famous quote from some admiral who said that the russian navy was only good at sinking triumphantly. Referring to cruiser Varyag sinking itself. I wish I could find it.
Good point. Just interesting wg would include that little realism detail on a ship displacing over 100k tons and producing more power than a nuclear carrier
According to the definate of Battleship acordding to soviet goverment plan , it should rush into enamy fleets and fight anainst the hole fleet(because soviet navy lack the number of ships). So they designed suck thick arrmor for turret back to prevent shells from the other side when they aim something on one side since Soviet class battleship
Using Nimitz-class as a benchmark we can now scentifically estimate that the power of SOVIET FANTSY is about 20% stronger than the power of nuclear fission. Didn't even need a spreadsheet for that
IJN's "AA cruiser" = Makes themselves easy targets so other important ships don't get harassed while those "AA cruisers" get absolutely mauled by enemy CVs.
That's a clever way to understand it, maybe you are right, "AA" Cruisers just attract the CVs, while you suffer, your allies also suffer, but not to the CV.
That giga Kremlin is ridiculous. The Soviet Navy never managed to successfully create cemented plating above 230 mm, and still even the the goddamn cruisers have battleship armor. They stopped using technical blueprints found in napkins and started using blueprints of Stalin used toilet paper.
I like the analogy(?) that a certain WoT streamer that got booted from the cc program used: "this shit was made by the wargaming ceo's son on a napkin and shown to his father" Paraphrasing of course.
At this point, they might as well just add in the real _Admiral Ushakov_ Kirov-class guided missile cruiser. Screw it, just add a new set of tiers featuring missile-armed ships. It's more content, WG doesn't need to fabricate blatantly fictional designs out of thin air, and it's not like balance actually matters at this point
I have to wonder though, what kind of power plant could Wargaming have dreamt up for Ushakov. It's based on mid-late 1940's technology. The ship has a smoke stack, so it's not nuclear. Even if they were to interconnect multiple engines in serial, or run multiple power plants in parallel, or heck, do both, what could possible output that much energy? Not to mention how much fuel it would consume. There is no way a non-nuclear powered ship could weigh that much with outputs that high without consuming enough fuel to run a minor nation. Wargaming can't justify this, there's no way on earth.
USS United States would have had a power plant of 280,000 horsepower, and she was laid down in 1949. A powerplant of 320,000 would definitely have been possible in that time, though definitely not by the Soviets lol.
@@yournamehere9928 True. And for what I can gather, the USS Forrestal had the same power output on 8 steam turbines. My only complaints there would be the considerably larger fuel capacity in the supercarriers as compared to a super battleship. Not to mention the quality of the Soviet naval R&D and industry in the late1940's. Considering the fact that light cruisers were an engineering challenge for the USSR, seeing them try and produce this behemoth would have been a treat to say the least. 😂 Imagine the USSR trying to produce the 880mm steel plate for the back of these turrets in 1949 in their own factories.
@@Nick-rs5if even the yamato plate which had estimated thickness of 300mm to 400mm had to be riveted rather then welding because of its shear thickness, let alone having 880mm plate and 650mm plate being put together knowing that welding such degree of armor wouldn't be viable, Honestly it would've made more sense if the ship was the size of the H class blueprint just for proper buoyoncy to hold up that much armor and horsepower but nope WG fantasy is really high in the sky
For what it’s worth, the SS United States was designed in 1950-51 and put to sea with 240,000 SHP, so clearly naval power plants were capable of these huge amounts of power in the early Cold War. If Soviet industry could produce such power plants is another question all together.
@@deepbludreams the fact that the Kirov only managed 120k is interesting, I’d wonder if it was a lack of engineering capacity or rather a lack of need. The Kirov’s were (relatively) light vessels considering their size, so they may have just not needed more power than that.
@@deepbludreams considering soviet industry were totally unable to produce concrete armour plating and had to produce layered armour for the Soyuz class, yeah its all wargaming bullshit
Have you not heard Flamuu? Admiral Ushakov is powered by a miniature RBMK reactor, same design as reactor no 4, which definitely did NOT suffer catastrophic failure. All that Armor is definitely NOT used for radiation shielding.
Of course the reactor's gonna run at the meltdown capacity. It's not russian if it's not going over the top. I wouldn't be surprised if WG gives it a passive damaging ability from radiation. Ships would start takeing damage at certain range(ignoring the islands), and it would increase the closer they get. And if they spend too much time under this ability a special debuff will be aplied to them Radiation poisoning, with would keep the damage going even after levaing the area of efffect.
5:00 the agano-class cruiser Yahagi was one of the ships that accompanied Yamato on her kamikaze mission in april 1945, under the command of legendary destroyer captain Tameichi Hara.
I wonder what the actual weight of the mega kremlin would be … the armor plating alone would push it into above Yamato. Guns and turrets would be on par weight then it has machinery of myths. Forget 100k tons this is like 140k.
@@vt7890 mmm for war time load then yeah. I wouldn’t be surprised if it would push up to 170k The people in chat actually asking the real question. How would it float???
I love how soviet BBs are defined by heavy armor... while the naval bureau had problems procuring plates thicker than 20 cm due to manufacturing problems.
the game as a whole would be much better off if WG spent half the time developing game modes and new maps and fixing in-game bugs as they do on their precious premium ships.
The boxes next to the torpedo launchers on the Tier 7 Omono are quick-reloads for each launcher. They standard was to carry a full volley in the launcher + one reload for each tube in each launcher.
Once again loving how WG keep going on about dual purpose guns and then for some weird as reason all those barrels can still just produce the same 5-6 flack bursts as every other ship. I guess the rest of the multipurpose rounds are 22. rounds in a sabot or something :P
I've been watching a lot of F1 recently and hearing Flamu saying box,box,box had me thinking of Flamu being on the radio calling Valtteri Bottas into the pits.
Acutally, conventional powered forrestal class has total of 280,000 hp, which is higher than Nimitz class. Nimitz class is the supercarrier with least power output in United States Navy
_I've only need that CHONKY junkyard to be spotted within 13km range_ *and my FS Colbert will shred that sweet massive superstructure into an billion pieces!* 😈🔥😈🔥😈
T11 CVs really drove me out of random - I am only playing ranked now. Why would anyone want to buy any other t11 ship when the CVs are gonna ruin your day with ease only seen before the rework?
Forcing yourself to play ranked instead of randoms is just cruel and unsual punishment in the form of mentally incapacitated apes somehow figuring out how to click ranked and then battle only to instantly explode ending up in you having to carry harder than your team mates can throw. I can't play ranked anymore due to the amount of players I get on my team that would be better replaced by an empty ship slot. Constant chokes or blowouts in 7v7 is just too frustrating to play for me.
Soviet armor manufacturers according to WG beat Krupp, in reality they just sat there like monkeys and went "Igor, how make big plate, blyat". Prime reason the Sovetsky Soyuz never got finished.
Also, @Flamu, to put it into even more perspective, the most powerful steam turbines ever fitted to a ship of her time (in the late 1950s) the SS United States, produced a mere 240,000 hp. The Iowa class BBs for comparison have 212,000 hp, and are the fastest battleships ever built. So, yeah, considering the Wärtsilä RT-flex96C is the largest *single* engine ever built for marine usage (in the mid 2000s) at a mere 114,800 hp, the Slavaboos at Wargaming just picked a completely made up number that wasn't even feasible until the smart-phone era... in a "1949" design.
Ushakov armor is thicc asf and with tons of HP, that is basically inviting all Conqueror and Thunderer users to have a feast day, not to mention AP and high Penetration HE bombers are still going to have a field day. The new IJN CLs though, with good speed, relatively narrow hull with decent citadel protection for their class, good range and the classic IJN ballistics, they are going to be the new long range HE spammer.
The guns those Japanese CLs tier 8 and up are using WG probably based them on the Type 5 super heavy AA 150mm gun. If you check what you can find on the internet even single gun turrets were supposedly "roomy". Fun fact though, it was supposed to have single piece ammo, so it should fire faster....as always all speculation.
Agano is the class leader Yahagi is a sister. The "boxes" behind the torpedo tubes are the torpedo reload storage. Check out the IJN DDs they have them too, but half to either side.
I'm willing to bet with Admiral Ushakov that players will still manage to potato with it, causing WG to assume its in need of a buff. Watch them give it the highest torp reduction belt in the game to ensure there's no way to easily kill it.
Wasn’t really concerned about the Soviet Super BB until the deck armor got shown. 60mm means the only reasonable counter (HE spam) goes out the window too. Otherwise no amount of belt armor would keep it from burning to a crisp like the Kremlin.
Those boxes next to the torp launchers are the torp magazines. Those weird cone things on the torp launchers are probably guides for quicker reloads. In theory, with that lay out, the Omono should have one of the most insane reloads.
We all need to find the most effective ship to Ram the Ushakov with, high speed and capable of full HP removal upon a ram. Also assume both ships have Ram flags. It will probably be banned from everything competitive out the gate.
Ramming damage is based on weight and HP, Ushakov is the heaviest non carrier in the game, nothing can one hit ram her from full HP if she has the flag on besides another ushakov
Am I just dumb or what, why can't the new IJN light cruiser line use the same triple turrets the Yamato gets as secondaries? The 15.5 cm/60 3rd Year Type naval gun. They look so much better.
I mean, you can't be too critical of the actual IRL Japanese light cruisers, Flamu. They were literally glass cannon spear heads for DD and sub convoy groups. Basically built to be oversized DD's with bigger guns and slightly lower speed. So their piss poor armor in the game is understandable to a point, but it won't be palpable in game. These are definitely going to be drive-by and anti-DD ships. Once the DD's are out of the picture, they might be able to assist in DD roles and do some ASW (ha), but if you're in one of those against a BB you're in THAT ocean with out a paddle. But their speed as well as being backed up by DD's is supposed to be their game play, but team work is hard in WOWS. If you can get a decent division going with 2 DD's and one of these light cruisers going, you could do some damage to a flank. Most people will try to smoke you out of the water until they see the 2 DD's then they have to decide to either get torpped by the DD's or torpped by you. It's bringing that quick-time event of destroy a ship worth less than your own or just flounder around and die into higher tiers with actual fast light cruisers with some amount of gun/torp on them.
The wooden structure on the Omono is probably to support the aircraft rail. It needs to be narrow so it doesn't interfere with the torpedo launchers rotation.
thinking a little bit it's kind of convenient for ushakov barbette to be 610mm. same from shimakaze torps even if you hit the barbette part. the torps would not have "pen" to destroy the ushakov magazine leading to detonation
I'm looking forward to what bullshit they pull off when releasing Super Schlieffen, Vermont and Colombo. Since they're so specialized as t10 ships with the insane hitting power of Vermont (and Colombo if you get a good salvo), Super Colombo is gonna have either another quad turret or larger caliber guns in the quads. And I mean Super Schlieffen is just gonna be terrifying for anything to be within 12.5km of because AI go brrrr
I enjoy witnessing Carrier armor that is about 1000000% better than Battleship armor. Then hearing Wargaming attempt to say they are trying to make CVs balanced😂. I feel so bad for that PR intern😂😂 Edit… 610mm turret armor: WHAT IS TRYING TO KILL YOU HOLY HELL 😂😂
The soviets had to put extremely thick armor on their ships, because they couldn't produce compound armor (didn't have the technology). As a result, soviet armor needed to be 2.5 times thicker to be as effective as American armor. So basically, the Sovetsky Soyuz 60mm deck would be as effective as a 25mm deck irl. And kremlin would have a 200mm citadel. Not to mention, this amount of armor would make the ship as agile as a glacier.
I would not be surprised if someone calculated the actual weight of the russian balans ships compared to normal ships but with all that extra armor... and found them to not even be capable of floating. Like I wouldn't be shocked at all if the 100,000 Ton displacement was an underestimation of just how fucking low these things should be sinking (my thought is at least Ushakov should just sink)

Standard torpedoes during ww2 used steam later ones used electric motors which the up side of those was they left a less visible wake than steam driven ones however they had reliability issues. The Germans experimented with rockets and some today use rockets, but they often are used in sub-sub combat, and some have speeds like 80 or 90 knots. Like those stupid fast torpedoes WG gave submarines from the late 20s.
It's like WG saw the new IJN CLs, then decided then only thing that makes them CL is gun calibre, armour and health, but then makes mobility and gun stats shit beyond belief and AA non-existant. Very few people will play these ships once the "new ship" hype dies down

Ushakov armor is thicc asf and with tons of HP, that is basically inviting all Conqueror and Thunderer users to have a feast day, not to mention AP and high Penetration HE bombers are still going to have a field day.
The new IJN CLs though, with good speed, relatively narrow hull with decent citadel protection for their class, good range and the classic IJN ballistics, they are going to be the new long range HE spammer.
The guns those Japanese CLs tier 8 and up are using WG probably based them on the Type 5 super heavy AA 150mm gun. If you check what you can find on the internet even single gun turrets were supposedly "roomy". Fun fact though, it was supposed to have single piece ammo, so it should fire faster....as always all speculation.
Gotta love seeing the most amount of armor on the backs of gun turrets, the French low tier bbs know this meme all too well
Ushakov: heavily armed and armoured sniper
Omono looks like those are crates, temporarily chained down on the deck
The Schroder is the 1928 "Cruiser Killer" BC design (17500 t) pushed by Adm. Hans Zenker for the Weimar Republic's navy.
Agano is the class leader Yahagi is a sister. The "boxes" behind the torpedo tubes are the torpedo reload storage. Check out the IJN DDs they have them too, but half to either side.
I don't think Ushakov could float if it existed IRL
That third turret on the Schröder looks like it can traverse 360°
I'm willing to bet with Admiral Ushakov that players will still manage to potato with it, causing WG to assume its in need of a buff. Watch them give it the highest torp reduction belt in the game to ensure there's no way to easily kill it.
Already done, latest dev blog buffed her armor.
WG just trolled Zao hard with these new IJN light Cruisers !!!
"Zao? Zao...? Wtf is a Zao? Never heard of this Zao"

The Soviets knew they had to make armor to survive their own Stalinium
Dido's 8.5s reload is already painful to use; I can't imagine what playing the Japanese CLs is going to be like.
Wasn’t really concerned about the Soviet Super BB until the deck armor got shown. 60mm means the only reasonable counter (HE spam) goes out the window too. Otherwise no amount of belt armor would keep it from burning to a crisp like the Kremlin.
The thicker armor on the barbettes is probably where the drives for the turret are.
Super Kremlin might be a fun secondary ship with all that armor and all those Smolensk looking turrets.
Have fun having all your secondaries destroyed
5:36 I was on my toilet when watching thru here
Admiral usakov is now truly powered by reactor no 4
12:47 That's most likely shoring for the ship's damage control party. It's used for like floodings or used as a support pillar.
I love how you can judge all the Japanese cruisers from 5-8 as Warspite food
Specially made to be detonated by carriers even if labelled AA-cruisers.
Those boxes next to the torp launchers are the torp magazines. Those weird cone things on the torp launchers are probably guides for quicker reloads. In theory, with that lay out, the Omono should have one of the most insane reloads.
We all need to find the most effective ship to Ram the Ushakov with, high speed and capable of full HP removal upon a ram. Also assume both ships have Ram flags. It will probably be banned from everything competitive out the gate.
Republique maybe? Or one of the french speedyboys. Havent played in years so cant remember
Ramming damage is based on weight and HP, Ushakov is the heaviest non carrier in the game, nothing can one hit ram her from full HP if she has the flag on besides another ushakov
Am I just dumb or what, why can't the new IJN light cruiser line use the same triple turrets the Yamato gets as secondaries? The 15.5 cm/60 3rd Year Type naval gun. They look so much better.
Sekiryu, man gonna be so fun
How to sin the Ushakov: you go along side and throw a coin onto the deck.
I do like to know what current ship Wargaming thinks would be a threat to that Maga Kremlin. Holy f that is like floating Siegfried Line
Ushakov doesn’t have armor plates it has armor cubes
I mean, you can't be too critical of the actual IRL Japanese light cruisers, Flamu. They were literally glass cannon spear heads for DD and sub convoy groups. Basically built to be oversized DD's with bigger guns and slightly lower speed. So their piss poor armor in the game is understandable to a point, but it won't be palpable in game. These are definitely going to be drive-by and anti-DD ships. Once the DD's are out of the picture, they might be able to assist in DD roles and do some ASW (ha), but if you're in one of those against a BB you're in THAT ocean with out a paddle. But their speed as well as being backed up by DD's is supposed to be their game play, but team work is hard in WOWS. If you can get a decent division going with 2 DD's and one of these light cruisers going, you could do some damage to a flank. Most people will try to smoke you out of the water until they see the 2 DD's then they have to decide to either get torpped by the DD's or torpped by you. It's bringing that quick-time event of destroy a ship worth less than your own or just flounder around and die into higher tiers with actual fast light cruisers with some amount of gun/torp on them.
The wooden structure on the Omono is probably to support the aircraft rail. It needs to be narrow so it doesn't interfere with the torpedo launchers rotation.
Nah, its what WG gives them as Citadel armor, when they try.
thinking a little bit it's kind of convenient for ushakov barbette to be 610mm.
same from shimakaze torps even if you hit the barbette part.
the torps would not have "pen" to destroy the ushakov magazine leading to detonation
Gonna have to slay them with 32 torp spreads
@1:00 "MAKE HOLLAND GREAT AGAIN"
my fav ship beside my Yammy was the Kremlin but I found it too weak, now with this it might be enough to bring me back to the game.
Still can't wrap my mind around Tromp's armour 'scheme' lol
I'm looking forward to what bullshit they pull off when releasing Super Schlieffen, Vermont and Colombo. Since they're so specialized as t10 ships with the insane hitting power of Vermont (and Colombo if you get a good salvo), Super Colombo is gonna have either another quad turret or larger caliber guns in the quads. And I mean Super Schlieffen is just gonna be terrifying for anything to be within 12.5km of because AI go brrrr
blessed by Stalinium technology, fueled by Soviet Vodka, inspired by PURE FANTASTICAL DELUSIONS
Ushakov is so tanky that they had to nerf Kuznetsov's Will-to-victory just for its coming.
I enjoy witnessing Carrier armor that is about 1000000% better than Battleship armor. Then hearing Wargaming attempt to say they are trying to make CVs balanced😂. I feel so bad for that PR intern😂😂
Edit… 610mm turret armor: WHAT IS TRYING TO KILL YOU HOLY HELL 😂😂
those japanese lights seem to be like long range HE and torp spammers
The super Kremlin and Super IJN CV can steam straight into the enemy team and just tank everyone indefinitely.
lol... Everyone, do yourself a favor and listen to 5:40 through 5:56 with no screen, just the audio. You'll appreciate it.
3:12 Isn't basically everyone except RN CLs and other DDs capped to 10% of alpha damage with AP anyway?
The soviets had to put extremely thick armor on their ships, because they couldn't produce compound armor (didn't have the technology). As a result, soviet armor needed to be 2.5 times thicker to be as effective as American armor. So basically, the Sovetsky Soyuz 60mm deck would be as effective as a 25mm deck irl. And kremlin would have a 200mm citadel. Not to mention, this amount of armor would make the ship as agile as a glacier.
You see tovarish, glacier is of ice da. So is very slippery. So very fast
*Slips on ice, lands on empty vodka bottles*
As a conqueror enjoyer I don't see any problem with the Admiral Ushakov
Battleship Ushakov going to need to burn that thing to the waterline cause sure as shit you ain't getting overpens or pens
I would not be surprised if someone calculated the actual weight of the russian balans ships compared to normal ships but with all that extra armor... and found them to not even be capable of floating. Like I wouldn't be shocked at all if the 100,000 Ton displacement was an underestimation of just how fucking low these things should be sinking (my thought is at least Ushakov should just sink)

Standard torpedoes during ww2 used steam later ones used electric motors which the up side of those was they left a less visible wake than steam driven ones however they had reliability issues. The Germans experimented with rockets and some today use rockets, but they often are used in sub-sub combat, and some have speeds like 80 or 90 knots. Like those stupid fast torpedoes WG gave submarines from the late 20s.
It's like WG saw the new IJN CLs, then decided then only thing that makes them CL is gun calibre, armour and health, but then makes mobility and gun stats shit beyond belief and AA non-existant. Very few people will play these ships once the "new ship" hype dies down
"Zao is weeping in a corner."
It's laughable to call a gun system "Dual Purpose" with a rate of fire slightly above 4 rounds a minute.
How does it float? Probably has a cargo hold full of helium balloons
Tromp is a pre-WWII ship going up against nineteen-fifties enemies. not a fair fight. Should be tier 7 or tier 8 max, not tier 10
Tromp has citadel armor? Lemme guess. It started out as a Tier 5 cruiser.
