Just want to say thank you for all the incredible videos Spartan. I have really improved my Iowa gameplay because of your channel. I placed a personal best in damage today which was 180,000 damage. Thanks again Sir.
I like to play a little of everything because you never know what you'll end up really enjoying. The Lightning I'd heard was good but I'm a Battleship guy so wasn't sure I could play it well, I was wrong it fits my hyper aggressive playstyle perfectly
@@SpartanElite43 True Man, gotta have those tests for which you like better. Me, im more of a Cruiser type of guy but yah i will branch out to more types of ships. Stay safe as always man.
That torpedo strike on the Yamato was the ABSOLUTE most disgusting torpedo strike I've ever seen! Now I gotta start grinding the British destroyers to get to this beast! GG Spartan!
Loved the video Spartan! Great game and its great to see someone play the lighting, I'm grinding towards it right now and I've found the British destroyers pretty good. Hope you hear a great Christmas and new year!!
Been loving the videos Spartan! Lightning is a heck of a ship... I'm almost done grinding towards Fletcher... I might just stop the American line and head towards this Lightning! Is it still your favorite destroyer in Feb 2021?
I love the lightning. It was my first tier 7 tech line ship. I've almost completed grinding through every nation except the French and it's still my favourite ship. You should try it out with Vian too. It's torpedoes are already pretty good, and if you buff the guns it's a match for any Fletcher in a gunfight.
Just unlocked this one myself and I agree with you. Imagine having twist and track skill on it......you'd be unstoppable! Doesn't matter as it's sonar and numerous smokescreens make up for it. Nice game as well.
Well, today, I finally have my 1st tech tree DD, the Lightning. I unlocked the Kagero before, but I have the Yudachi so. Let’s see how good this Lightning is. Thanks for the video!
Finally had a match with you after watching your channel for months now ... Yamato epicenter battle, we won 😊 ... Do people always come and hug you btw? ... figured i would just go the other way instead to increase the chance of having the opponents show broadside. Thanks for all the ship reviews, you helped me a lot with choosing which premiums to get. Wishing you a happy new year !!!
Just unlocked the Icarus today. Love it already. Btw rank 11 gives you the final (non legendary) level on your 1st perk. Rank 12 does the same for the 2nd perk. That means your concealment is maxed out.
Spartan. Your slot 2 modification is redundant. You don't need propulsion on British Destroyers. In fact it ruins your turns and makes you slow during turns. And if you accelerate while currently in a turn you will initial D drift turn. Which is fun but will get you murdered
@@christopherbreidy damage alone doesnt win games, there are 2 other types of damage that account in the finale score that u cant see. One is potential damage taken and the other spotting damage so just sitting at 16 km bow on with An Iowa all game isn't good at all. This also doesnt help your team get objectives that are required to win the game. The goal isn't to kill Everyone but to get 1000 points
Ah, in the pc version, with the yamato there is this weakness in the armor scheme called the cheek. It’s located under the turrets and can be exploited when you angle slightly towards the enemy. To deal with it you just need to go point your nose directly to your opponent. Hope this helps :)
@@dewanarendra7314 I knew that and Yamato can overmatch battleship armor. For example Iowas bow but someone should test if this is the case on console.
Lightning and Jervis are by far my favourites. Most adaptable destroyers in the game. Akatsuki is idiot proof, but these 2 are GREAT!!! Ps - any chance of showing an Asashio game? Am really interested in it.
Use stand or fall perk it’s really amazing, the lower health you have the stronger you become and always use sonar ahead of engage because you have 3 minutes with 3 of them that 9 minutes total.
Just bought this little gem couple days ago.... taking advantage of the 3x boost to try and get it upgraded ASAP... fun to see the famed BB guy loving on a DD, lol... Also, for some reason Yamatos have zero torp reduction, and I dont know why...
Good job but I'm glad I haven't seen this kind of matchup. Wargaming is crazy if they think that having the Yamato means a team should start two ships down. Maybe if you have an entire team of seasoned vets sure but this game shows that odds are the team with the handicap is gonna get steam rolled. Can't wait to see you go off in a properly full 9v9 match in this ship.
Spartan Elite43 tbh I think that they should add the tier 9 ships from pc into the game.These tier 9 ships would be able to counter the tier 10 ships.So they add tier 8 and then legendary in legends,But tbh that is because I want to use the Alsace.
excellent video, a while ago I wanted to see your opinion of that destroyer ... I only need 2 million credit to obtain it and I've been wanting it for a while, I like English destroyers, they are a balance between the Germans and the Japanese (in my opinion)
Just got Jervis. Can start the grind towards this boi. Good God though I really didnt like grinding through the Icarus, the torp range mixed with such a large DD and high detection was not fun
I love the lightning so far. The fletcher lack of concealment hurts it, and Kagero torp build the guns take 10 seconds to load so you get out dpm'd in a duel. This is like perfect and with the sniper torps.... mmmm
Irrelevant but I just wanted to throw that out there I was grinding the kongo and in one match I had to battle against another kongo. Pretty normal for now. In an instant in front of an island appeared a Bretagne, an Orion, a Königsberg and an Émilie Bertin. All of them fired HE and ffs HE spam is more annoying than a sea of torps
@@SpartanElite43 I was about to pull the trigger on it, I got the the $$. Maybe I'll wait and see what comes out tier 8. Thanks for the content and reply. 👍
When going over the commander, you do know his skill level is listed in upper left corner, right? 😂 I only say it cuz I used to do like you. Determining his skill level I used to run down the individual levels as well. 😂
I second this.... Same goes for the Range extending skill, go for reload and you'll get more fishes out there, to the point it feels better than my Kagero... And I love that ship! Personally, for me it's the Kamikaze then the Lightning for being nasty
That Yamato, ... really it is better for your team is nobody plays it right now. It is so unbalanced, and in a way nobody expects. Sure it has almost 100K health but... a few torpodoes later and she is limping. And yet she takes up 3 slots for a team. Mmm, I guess I should train more with the Uk destroyers. I am a fan of the Japanese ones, for obvious reasons. But the American line, once you adjust to how to play them, seems fine too. The UK line always felt...odd.
@@SpartanElite43 compared to the other bbs vanguard is terrible. It cant citidel for shit. Look at Iowa, if it even looks at you it manages 6 citidel hits. Bisko has the most insane armour and the ijn have top notch accuracy and great AP.
@@officerk72 ? I didn't say should be number 1 in wows, I said seem to get a bad deal considering it doesn't have a full line yet and only 1 premium ship considering the period these ships are from it was the most powerful.

yessssssss this is why you start with the British but good job spartan
Lol
yeah, this thing is strong.
Single launch torps are just fantastic.
Now you got me interested in the HMS Lightning now
Something just clicked with me and this ship
Just want to say thank you for all the incredible videos Spartan. I have really improved my Iowa gameplay because of your channel. I placed a personal best in damage today which was 180,000 damage. Thanks again Sir.
when this video finished I was clapping automatically
Awesome
GG. Nice work, you managed to keep it down to one welcome announcement. Nasty little DD. Peas love and they must die! Johnno Bloke.
Absolutely loved the video man! Great ship and honestly gave me more interest in the british ships. 🤘✌ keep up the good work dude!

Happy New Year Spartan...GG! Very close to unlocking this ship, thanks for the preview.
Thanks and to you as well
Loved the video Spartan! Great game and its great to see someone play the lighting, I'm grinding towards it right now and I've found the British destroyers pretty good. Hope you hear a great Christmas and new year!!
Great battle spartan I also love british destroyers
Lightning was my 2nd ever tier 7 after the Iowa, well on the way to being my most played ship.
Been loving the videos Spartan! Lightning is a heck of a ship... I'm almost done grinding towards Fletcher... I might just stop the American line and head towards this Lightning! Is it still your favorite destroyer in Feb 2021?

You should try it out with Vian too. It's torpedoes are already pretty good, and if you buff the guns it's a match for any Fletcher in a gunfight.
Over a year later. Still up towards the top of your fav list ?
GG Spartan revenge is a dish best served with flaming hot high explosive rounds, yeah baby!!!
Lol glad he was using AP against me
That’s what makes you the best
Just unlocked this one myself and I agree with you. Imagine having twist and track skill on it......you'd be unstoppable! Doesn't matter as it's sonar and numerous smokescreens make up for it. Nice game as well.
It is pretty amazing
The way those torpedoes missed was...............
AMAZING!
I had mentioned in one of your live streams that the tier 7 lighting was amazing thanks for showing everyone how good It can be
I've heard it's good but I'm crap and wasn't sure how I'd do guess I should have done this sooner
@@SpartanElite43 guess your going to have to do a review on the g101 see if you can get the same results like I sent too you on xbox
Can't wait to get this ship! Really enjoying the jervis at the moment
I just got this ship and I agree with you. Best destroyer in the game by a mile
Well, today, I finally have my 1st tech tree DD, the Lightning. I unlocked the Kagero before, but I have the Yudachi so. Let’s see how good this Lightning is.

Edit: 0:55
Actually can I take back that ka-chow you’ve disrespected our clan, we shall not forget this.
Lol
The British DD don’t have a speed boost but the acceleration is off the chain. Makes changing speeds so much better.
Nice game Spartan and happy New year to you my friend...
Thanks and to you as well
Just unlocked the Icarus today. Love it already. Btw rank 11 gives you the final (non legendary) level on your 1st perk. Rank 12 does the same for the 2nd perk. That means your concealment is maxed out.
Oh got ya I knew it was one of them
@@SpartanElite43 only way to drop the concealment lower is leveling bey up higher as his inspiration Is for that
I fucking hate the icarus, worst ship in the game by miles
GG, Lightning Master Class 👍🏻
I have like 4 recordings for this ship already it's a lot of fun
Was my first tier 7. I loved the Jervis. It's just a great ship. I'm surprised I don't see more of these ships
Are you still using the Japanese commander as inspiration or the polish?
I use double concealment inspiration so Bey and Swirzky
@@SpartanElite43 thanks for the info most of my builds comes from you 😁
That lightning is meant for you.
Spartan.
Your slot 2 modification is redundant. You don't need propulsion on British Destroyers. In fact it ruins your turns and makes you slow during turns. And if you accelerate while currently in a turn you will initial D drift turn. Which is fun but will get you murdered
I do a lot of starting and stopping. May experiment
8:06 gameplay starts here
Would you recommend getting the fletcher first or the Iowa?
Iowa but I'm a BB main. Fletcher is a good ship it just lacks concealment
One of the best destroyers in the game love my lighting but I am biased as British infact the hole line is good
It surprised me
I've just unlocked the iowa battleship but in every game i lose money in 2 battles i've lost 200k
Then u are seriously playing wrong. Even without premium u should be able to break almost even.
@@thomasr813 in every game i'm getting max 150k damage

@@thomasr813 ohh okay thank you for this information.
Yeah tier 7 BBs are like 180k silver to run so you have to do well to earn money in them I believe the mark is usually about 120k damage
I unlocked the Yamato yesterday and It's so easy to citadelle and angling doesn't do much.
Ah, in the pc version, with the yamato there is this weakness in the armor scheme called the cheek. It’s located under the turrets and can be exploited when you angle slightly towards the enemy. To deal with it you just need to go point your nose directly to your opponent. Hope this helps :)

Do torpedoes have less dispersion if thrown tube by tube?
Yes
Why is vanguard higher than kgv because it uses WW1 guns used on battlecruisers
Lightning and Jervis are by far my favourites. Most adaptable destroyers in the game. Akatsuki is idiot proof, but these 2 are GREAT!!!
Ps - any chance of showing an Asashio game? Am really interested in it.
Not unless he wants to blow money on it
I dont have it yet
Imo a 3000 sakura kagero with 1 quick reload skill isn't really worth it
@@meep6258 probably true 😁
Akatsuki and Kagero now out of Game . Look the Torp Detection Range.. 1.8km.
I didn't know the torps had that range, my lightning is still stock
Yeah it reaches out and touches folks
can we get that rage with all the upgrades?, because I only have 8,4 km with the four of them with the same commanders
@@rocaloz torpedo upgrade plus commander perks
Kidd,kamikaze and T61 said your blasphemy will be remembered
Lol I'll take on any of those any day
@@SpartanElite43 lol you here disrespecting the almighty kidd hmmm I'll be seeing you
Use stand or fall perk it’s really amazing, the lower health you have the stronger you become and always use sonar ahead of engage because you have 3 minutes with 3 of them that 9 minutes total.
Was thinking about it especially since I will be fighting other destroyers often
Why it was so unfair with Yamato and -2 ships?
Thanks spartan now I need to work on the British destroyer line xD
Happy New Year Spartan!
you should do some more British ships
I'm not very good in vanguard but loved the QE and KGV
Do you stream by chance
i loveeee the lighting, please make more videos on ittt:)
Just bought this little gem couple days ago.... taking advantage of the 3x boost to try and get it upgraded ASAP... fun to see the famed BB guy loving on a DD, lol... Also, for some reason Yamatos have zero torp reduction, and I dont know why...
I love this thing which means it's about to get nerfed! Once WG sees that I'm good in it they'll be like "If Spartan can do that it must be OP"
@@SpartanElite43 lol, must be...
Should I buyThe bisnarck or the vanguard?
Up to you
Spartan Elite43 any personal opinions?
Good job but I'm glad I haven't seen this kind of matchup. Wargaming is crazy if they think that having the Yamato means a team should start two ships down. Maybe if you have an entire team of seasoned vets sure but this game shows that odds are the team with the handicap is gonna get steam rolled. Can't wait to see you go off in a properly full 9v9 match in this ship.
It's only for the trial. Once the Legends tier gets implemented MM should go back to normal
Spartan Elite43 tbh I think that they should add the tier 9 ships from pc into the game.These tier 9 ships would be able to counter the tier 10 ships.So they add tier 8 and then legendary in legends,But tbh that is because I want to use the Alsace.
good job spartan
Can we see a cruiser video. New Orleans maybe?
Awesome game Spartan! I need this DD!
That Amagi had to go to counseling after this match because of all the “touching” it received.
Why is there a skull next to that players name?
excellent video, a while ago I wanted to see your opinion of that destroyer ... I only need 2 million credit to obtain it and I've been wanting it for a while, I like English destroyers, they are a balance between the Germans and the Japanese (in my opinion)
Look at the flooding you caused also. 13 torpedoes and 12 floods.
Yeah it's like I've always said torps almost always cause flooding.
Just got Jervis. Can start the grind towards this boi. Good God though I really didnt like grinding through the Icarus, the torp range mixed with such a large DD and high detection was not fun
Yeah having short range torps and bad concealment is rough
But if u take a fletcher out and the Atlanta doesn’t now what he’s doing and goes broad side then u can wreck him.
Spartan, play the Agile, she can reach 44 knots with engine boost, and maybe more with the right commander
Yet another Yamato captain goes down with their pride shattered. I would feel sorry but I was too busy lmfao!
I have all the Tier 6 Tech tree DDs and am on the fence about going got the Lightning or Z-23....I have the Fletcher already!!! GG!!!
I love the lightning so far. The fletcher lack of concealment hurts it, and Kagero torp build the guns take 10 seconds to load so you get out dpm'd in a duel. This is like perfect and with the sniper torps.... mmmm

Is the lightning still your favorite destroyer??
No but it is still very good
@@SpartanElite43 I was about to pull the trigger on it, I got the the $$. Maybe I'll wait and see what comes out tier 8. Thanks for the content and reply. 👍
Also, you should try Smogathon. Great perk.
And you like fires? Vian can boost your fire chance 😈
I want to ask them in Lod Yamato? in the game? ??? please
OMG ITS A BRITISH SHIP YESSSSSSSSSSS XDDDDDDDDDD sorry 😐
Lol it's a great ship
Why is it whenever I play tier 7 it's always 5v5 and an imbalance of ship types >.>
Lol wait till you get the German DD! I'm on the Tier 6 of both the British and the German but don't have the credits to buy them.
I may head down that line next
You should play the Z-23...it’s the best IMO.
When going over the commander, you do know his skill level is listed in upper left corner, right? 😂
I only say it cuz I used to do like you. Determining his skill level I used to run down the individual levels as well. 😂
Whoever told you thst Yamato is pronounced like that is totally wrong, the way you said it before is correct.
Just got it today!
We need the Haida in legends
Awesome game!
Man that was fun
Always fun to see comments from videos that don't have thumbnails! Glad you enjoyed!
Hey dude im gonna buy youre hoodie tomorrow
Awesome! Hope you enjoy
That was absolutely disgusting! Just oblivion for that Yamato.
Lightning... i started with the Brits but only went to King George and then switched to the Russians. Vladi all day... yay
For some reason my Lightning is a Tier VIII - WTF?!?
are you on pc?
Have to pronounce Yamato like jingles does. 🍠 uh toe
Who the hell disliked this if that person is reading this square up
Lol probably the Yamato
Spartan Elite43 makes sense lol
Tanaka a wasted inspiration. Extra torp damage doesn't reduce number of torp strikes needed to kill. I run Bey/Madden.
Interesting, I may look into it
