One of my greatest moments in wows was doing a drifting drive by on a yoshino with a wooster for the last kill of the game, he was joking me in chat about using AP until his health bar disappeared from citadels
Appreciate the review. I had Cleveland when she was Tier VI, just now coming up on Worcester. I think playing the ever-increasing number of Annapolis semi-clones has helped me appreciate the changes in play style required for these lightly-armored cruisers.
I'm not privi to the joke, but listening to you and reading the chat comments sounds fun!. The Ship looks fun to play. Hope you feel good pronto. Thank you Potato Quality.
It's funny that I mentioned this recently, I got married at Worcester, MA city hall, and on our way out I rapped on the USS Worcester's bell. I don't have the ship but as a city resident it's nice to see.
Zao(and really any IJN 203mm) actually has exactly DD dispersion on it's guns. They all use R x 7.5 + 15, that being the exact formula that DDs use. The Pan-American CLs use the same formula as well. Adding this edit to say: I'd personally drop Survivability Expert and Incoming Fire alert for CE. Sure that extra HP could save you from time to time(though unless I'm mistaken it didn't save you once in this entire video), but having that extra concealment helps prevent the damage in the first place and makes your already kind of weak radar less weak.(When I say weak, I'm referring to the 9km range. 9km being not great range for a radar, but it can get the job done as long as your concealment is CLOSE to 9km.)
The extra health might not always make a difference but this is a smoke cruiser that can at least somewhat negate the concealment issues with its own smoke or its maneuverability and there are some matches where the health difference literally makes or breaks the game or gives you the chance to farm out 20-45k more damage before going out
@@xxxthwagdrakexxx4672 Worcester is not a smoke cruiser though? Also that HP difference is 4500 HP, meaning at best it's enough HP to take 1 pen from a Bungo shell. That's not going to make or break a battle, if you were going to die without SE, you would die with SE. I could go on quite a long mathy rant about SE, but I'll save both of us the time by saying, its overall just not worth the 3 points unless you are in a cruiser that actually has armour. Worcester is not one of those cruisers.
@Stephen__White you act like overpens don't exist or ap/he shells that are of lower caliber than bb shells. And obviously I was only referring to jinan having smoke I shouldn't have to clarify that for you. Worcester isn't as easy to citadel either jinan has to use its maneuverability or it eats pens or citadels far more often than the former and it also makes the repairs heal more sometimes by 10-17% which if you can do the math would add up over 4-5 heals particularly if you're good at dodging and don't eat more than 1 citadel if that. Also in 1v1 duels it absolutely will help you win it is a straight up advantage than to have concealment in that case and in almost all cases the cruiser with SE wins whether it's HE slugfests or broadside ap salvos. As a light cruiser you are most dangerous when left alive and uncontested behind islands to expend the enemy dcp and farm damage with a nearly maxed out AR skill that you would not otherwise be able to use in a fair margin of cases. In any case pq couldn't care less to hear backseat gaming advise (when he was a competitive player so talk about preaching to the choir) at best and at worst you come off as annoying for a perfectly useful skill
@@xxxthwagdrakexxx4672 You're right, lower than BB calibre shells exist, but once you get lower than BB calibre it becomes a DPM race, and 4500 HP isn't going to make much difference with the DPM numbers in play at top tier. How was it obvious you were talking about Jinan? It's not even the only T10 CL with a smoke screen. It also was not the topic of PQs video nor do I think it even made an appearance in the entire video. Nor did I mention Jinan at any point. So how was I supposed to know you were talking about Jinan and not you know, the topic of the video. Worcester eats far more cits and full pens than Jinan, purely on account of Worcester being a wider ship and having a larger citadel. Given heals are % based, and the standard Cruiser heal is 0.5% HP / sec, using Jinan(because you seem to enjoy it) as the example, to take SE would net you 22.5 more HP per second on healing over not taking SE. Or to put it another way, it would get you 630 HP more per heal. That is virtually nothing, and has such a low chance of ever mattering it's pointless to even really mention. Yes in a flat 1v1 assuming both players are exactly equally skilled, and RNG isn't in play. The player with SE would win, but here's the problem with that. Even in the training room you can't control any of the RNG about the game. The player with SE could get unlucky and be lit on fire more than the player without SE, or vice versa. That also ignores that two equally skilled players, the one with the extra km of detect to work with will get the better first salvo, giving them the advantage for the entire fight. If PQ or anyone else doesn't want to read my comments they don't have to, no one is forcing you to read my comment. I'm not going to sit here and suck PQ off in the comments and not point out ways he could improve builds or alternatives to his builds, even more so where the dude gets shit wrong, and quite often. He's not Jingles level but in time I imagine he will be. The comments are more for people who are interested in other takes. Even more so where PQ talked about not taking Concealment Expert because he took AA skills, while having 4 points worth of skills that didn't help him once in the entire video. Thus I offered an alternative that in my opinion is a better build while keeping the AA skills on the ship. I'm not even saying SE doesn't ever have a use, just it's a very niche use for Cruisers. In the cases where that extra 4500 HP would actually change the equation of number of salvos needed to kill you, it's worth taking. In the case of Worcester it's rare to find a situation where it would do that. Hence why it's the skill *I* would drop from the build along side the nearly useless incoming fire alert to have CE. As not getting seen in the first place is better than MAYBE living after you've been spotted. Even more so in a radar cruiser.
Nice vid... in this ship, the Wooster, one can experience both the thrill of the damage output and the terror of the incoming BB salvos at the same time. What a ride!!
Take last stand, rudder shift, and concealment. Open water Wooster is a rush! Sure you`ll have 6-10 reds targeting you, but she`s skinny and her butt wiggles quick.
Now we need another look at the Yodo with IFHE (not because it’s actually good, but because we need to really raise awareness about this ship and its performance, and I say this as someone who plays Yodo a lot)
So the question is: is this or Austin harder to play, you mentioned on your last Austin video that she was hard to play? I honestly find Mino with radar easier than the Wooster, thinking of getting the Austin. Any insights on Austin, Wooster, Mino comparison?
Idk if anybody cares, but I bought the Moskva legendary upgrade today and immediately broke my damage record, the improved dispersion feels so strong. I really like the concept of the legendary upgrades, it's just kinda sad that they're locked behind the annoying research bureau system.
To be fair, the red DD was also spotting him. He was to far out from the side of the island and was being hard spotted by the red DD contesting the cap. Pair that with Worcester's terrible armour + the stupidly high level of over match these days and the end result was obvious CV or not.
Suprised, you didn't mention rear armor being better than the front by quite a bit as well. That rear plate by the citadel and rear 2 turrets can actually bounce cruiser and some battleship ap. Makes the Worcester decent while kiting.
So this is a ship request video right? Hey PQ!! Can you play the ZF-6 next..its a really spicy ship. Build for max dpm, conceal, with heavy ap and it shreds dds at slight angles as a dd moves into and away from you..its really worth some attention. Cheers and gg as always!!
Day 1 of thanking Potato Quality for playing the Worcester.
Reset counter. 😅
Mission successful 😊
Good work comrade 🫡
Day 1 of thanking the man for asking potato quality to do a Worcester review
Mission acomplished
Peace at last. Wooster dude, my man; legends should also be rested. With all my respect.
YESSS ITS OVER. THANK YOU❤❤❤❤❤❤. I’ll make sure to give a dono on twitch hopefully later this month when I get my hands on some money. W PQ
You can rest now
Hey good job! It happened eventually!
o7 you can rest now
Enjoy :)
Just wait until the super Wooster releases next month (USS Jacksonville)... This man will be all over it
OH MY GOD IT HAPPENING, EVERYONE STAY CALM
STAY F*CKING CALM
God in heaven this is a miracle
You can rest now Woooooster guy. Sleep now my sweet prince. *Kisses forehead*
He will come back tomorrow lol
*sleeps*

Finally. Took ya long enough, my first t10 cruiser. Always a fun experience!

YES! Best video yet!
Aye that one guys hard work payed off
Since the worcester guy managed to do it im gonna do my own,
Day 1 of asking PQ to play Saint Louis
Low or high tier one?
Good luck my brotha 🫡
@@SkyRaider-31 high tier, low tier would be St. louis, high tier is Saint Louis
@@SkyRaider-31 Por que no los dos? Be funny to see PQ jump into low tier.
babe wake up, PQ uploaded a Worcester video.
Damn bro, he did it!!!!
Now he can start asking for another ship xdd
Frank Friday? please ?
Eric T1 gameplay xd
OH MY GOD HE DID IT
Ok I'm going to have to do a Worcester vid now aren't I. Well played and great advice PQ gg! 👍
one of my favorite ships in the game, love it.
... he did it 😳
Lovely and very relatable replay ❤ Thank you so much
You did it, you crazy bastard! You did it!

Damn... Wooster guy made it, PQ had to give in 💀🤣🤣
Thanks for playing the Wooster pq
no f'ing way it finally happened
I never seen that 0:56 bounce mechanic before wow
Your opinion really matters and contributes to an overall better experience for this game.
I'd love to see you play the Neustrashimy.
30mm overmatch being everywhere has hit cruisers very hard.
That camo on the worcester is so awesome. How did you get it?
IT HAPPENED 🎉🎉
Respect to worcester guy
I used to hate this ship but really like it now.
Fun fact on console the bow and stern are 32mm, same with Colbert i’m pretty sure.
So the question is: is this or Austin harder to play, you mentioned on your last Austin video that she was hard to play? I honestly find Mino with radar easier than the Wooster, thinking of getting the Austin. Any insights on Austin, Wooster, Mino comparison?
My first T10. Still love her.
havent played this ship in years. anyone remember the radarpocalypse or the day the horn got added in. Im an OG
All fun and such, but how do I get this very nice looking "Don't tread on me" camo?
Idk if anybody cares, but I bought the Moskva legendary upgrade today and immediately broke my damage record, the improved dispersion feels so strong. I really like the concept of the legendary upgrades, it's just kinda sad that they're locked behind the annoying research bureau system.
HE FINALLY DID IT!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO LETS GOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey PQ, would you try to play Wisconsin with full secondary build or AA build? 😃
been thinking about getting this ship for a loooooong time since its basically a HE american mino but havent gotten it yet
Ah yes QP having a cold. Thought i wouldnt notice ;)
0:37 "if you can get in to the aggressive position"
CV : that the neat part. you dont. 😂

LOOOOOOL THAT ONE GUY
WHOOO WORCESTER LFG!!!!
Wow I can't believe this finally happened
ayy, he finally did it
You're a good man PQ!! ❤
I'm just happy for the Worcester guy
Can you revisit Tiger 59 but in asymmetric battles only? It might shine brighter there even though it's a polished turd overall.
OMG!!! Its finally happened !! He stopped trolling that guy and did it!!! Yay!!
Suprised, you didn't mention rear armor being better than the front by quite a bit as well. That rear plate by the citadel and rear 2 turrets can actually bounce cruiser and some battleship ap. Makes the Worcester decent while kiting.
So if we dusted Woooooster off, how about another oldie - Atago?
Alright, now it's time for orbital strike wooster with range mod and spotter plane
8 wooster videos wasnt enough for bro.. now theres 9
Day 1 of asking PQ to play Seattle. That's where the fun is
AP only Zao?
Can you revisit the Alexander Nevsky? Im consindering getting back just for that
It is reassuring to see that even PQ has horrific games.
FINALY :D:D:D:D:D thank you pq
I can't remember what it's called but the 2 command point consumable skill is worth it I think on worcester rather than the aaa
Wooster Guy has earned his rest.
Maybe we could see a Zao video, see if it's worth playing these days?
How about covering a gun focused german bb gameplay with pommern and gk to survive in randoms
Funny how people were complaining about him in the beginning, but now everyone loves him. People switch up quick lmao
excellent aggressive gameplay
FINALLY
Holy shit
So this is a ship request video right? Hey PQ!! Can you play the ZF-6 next..its a really spicy ship. Build for max dpm, conceal, with heavy ap and it shreds dds at slight angles as a dd moves into and away from you..its really worth some attention. Cheers and gg as always!!
Thanks for vid!! Ok next campaign!! TIGER '59!!! 200k game!! Do it!!
Now lets see some Austin games.
Worcester is the WoWS equivalent of the Phalanx CIWS.
that skin is one of the only non historical camos id use
10:30 Nice game, sad that it was a loss.
"wooster is a good ship"
1 minute 20 later:
*explode*
I love that Camo
Time to revisit Siegfried, your favourite RB german BC :)
Finally. Worcester guy can rest
Lol! Dude finally got his wish
Anyone else notice that playing the Wooster made PQ's voice sound more manly? Understandable since the Wooster is pure testosterone.
Can you do secondary Carnot pls
The first 90 seconds of this video is just a standard CL game if you try a bit of aggression
Now can we get a Cleveland video
this cant be true, he finally did it
now i want to see Zao
Evil Wooster ! he he he.
PQ is still the best wows youtuber!
