Reason for the high AA:
US in WW2: How many AA guns do we need? Yes! Just place it anywhere!
Watch USS Little Rock Naval Legends, that exactly what happened about Cleveland Class cruisers.
Designer: Mr President do you want Bofors or Oerlikons mounted instead
President: Yes, ALL OF THEM
If there an open spot on deck there needs to be an AA gun there.
They were facing Kamikaze after all so they put every 40mm Bofors, 20mm Oerlikons and 127mm MK12 dual purposes gun (watch Naval Legend: North Carolina for more infomation on the MK12)
@@meow-pf8uz Japanese planes in general was the reason. Given most of the big fleet action where between carries. Kamikaze came a problem more toward the end of fight.
"How many AA guns do you want sir?"
"Yes"
I'm smart...and edited this thumbnail at 4am...
Apologies for how long of a delay this video had...It's been rough, but thanks to you all for helping me get that motivation back!
Enjoy! and I'll get to work on Hood's video now...
>_
Hood, first SR I got, and first married ship. So precious.
No worries. Glad that you got the motivation back. Hope everything will starting to look up now.
And happy that Sandy still happily mess around in your video.
Most important part of the vid is Sandy interrupting hawk.... I personally missed that a LOT
More more moah moahhhhh
Why i need minnie, i have sandy, we have sandy, she better than your mainfleet.
ahh the first event ship i missed,,,,
certainly wasn't the last..
Nice name!
I got her in may. For whatever reason.
I got her, Wasp, and Kalk; I missed all the others. Hopefully can get the rest of my missing shipfus next re-run.
now was in the heavy pool
@@FubukiKnowledge aye. Just got her a few days ago.. i still missed a lot of other event ships tho
Lesson learnt form this video: Never give Sandy a job, she fails at even doing every other job but what she is supposed to do.
I'm only here to say, "One more day before Azur Lane anime!"
WOO!
Uwu
where can we watch it?
Soon
The anime fukin SUCKS.
My thought in Minneapolis.
*Thumbnail show Washington character review*
Told you stop hanging around with Jingle. ;)
Update: So I noticed you change the thumbnail. Come on my man, just keep it there. You can not just erase a meme like that. XD
Well, he got free pass out of salt mine, so theres there.
Hello fellow salt miners. Been enjoying the double shifts in the mines?
Me: "Sips coffee next to my Roon"
Noice video
I didn't play Azur lane during that time of the fallen wings event
Sips coffee from larger cup next to Roon, Monarch, Saint Louis, and Ibuki.
"Don't ask, how he brew the coffee, DON'T ask how he brew the coffee!"
Me: How did You brew the coffee, was Roon helping, by any chance?
@@Usmvalor3 yes she brew my coffee. Only she knows how I like it
Yes like in the comic
@@RifterIQ I see you're a man of culture too
For some reason when someone called her "Mini", I just imagine her holding a minigun.
*Heavy Weapons Guy Screaming*
@@Hawk2zer0
I am heavy weapons guy
and this is my weapon
@@sphee4149 thank you for giving me that image
Finally, minneapolis! She my fav vanguard
SAME¡¡¡
Just got her bro
@@godzefkiel2686 she will have an oath skin UwU. Sadly, I don't have her. i hope they add her to the heavy pool
@@myaava6608 she's in the heavy pool now
The Eagle unions high AA can be thanked to the US military’s fear of enemy aircraft in genral. The US military put AA guns everywhere, on everything, even supply trucks, and the USN was no exception. After Pearl Harbor, the USN became all to aware of how dangerous CV’s could be and spent a massive amount of resources to counter this threat, stuff like the VT fuse are results of this. I could be wrong but this is what I understand.
Tbh after being bombed a lot of times, i can understand why they would try countering it a lot.
Glad to see you up and About, Kicking again, and Doing Videos again Hawk!
One this to say about the Video, the Reason why USN/USS Cruisers have high AA Output is because the Cruisers were built with high AA Protection in mind and served as AA Vanguards in Fleets, especially during the Pacific Campaign, as What WW2 History Show us, Wars Fought in the Pacific rely heavily or mostly on Aircraft from Carriers, the Pacific Campaign is where the Age of Battleship Warfare starts to die after all. After Pearl Harbor, Cruisers where Made with Armaments to Counter Japanese Planes, and Later on Have Dedicated AA Cruisers, Like the Atlanta-Class, and Cleveland-Class and prolly more, and Since World War 2 AA Vanguard Roles are a Must for Cruisers Today, such as the US Ticonderoga Class Cruisers, with the Aegis, which boost their AA Defense Further.
Anyways...
Its glad to see you again Back on the Bridge (a Ship's Main Control Area/Room), Captain Hawk! Redy to set Sail and Sortie Once Again!
Keep up the Good Work And Helpful Reviews Commander!
Keep the Good Shit, and Memes Rolling, Yo!
P.s.
Did you watch the Anime Already? Shit is Lit AF and Good, Yo!
When I first started looking at ships I wanted a few months ago, Minnie was high on the list for Heavy Cruisers. Now, though, She may not have as much of a spot after getting so many more ships, as I can fill the role she would have a bit easier. You did make an excellent case for her as a solo Vanguard for farming and clearing, so maybe when she comes back. Good review!
AT LAST
THIS SERIES HAS RETURNED
Indeed
I felt some kind of incredibly strong, primal urge to press the submarine button at 8:00
I really like Minneapolis as she was the main Eagle Heavy cruiser I used for XP farming for Saint-Louis.
Tan Girls for the win boys! 🍫❤
YES! A re-run!
NO... wisdom cubes.
Good news is that we are having Mikasa event this month
Thanks for the awesome video Hawk!
I started playing during the Glorious event and did not participate because I was too low leveled, but other than birmingham & Le Triomphant, I got every event ships and definitely want the rerun of the ships. (already got yukikaze from light build, still need the cranes tho)
Minnie's a good CA, helped me with late Sanrui xp farm.
And I cant wait for your Yorktown and Hornet videos!
Me: *Sipping tea while browsing RUclips*
Also me: *Sees Hawk upload a New vid* Hmm.... The god is back...
Look 'nee-chan', next video is about Hood, we better save those for the "proper lady".
awesome! I'll see if i can get her when she comes around. started playing 2 weeks ago and this channel has been a great learning tool with memes thrown in.
looking forward to the hood video too as I managed to pick her up and add her to my main fleet as my first SSR.
VinylSnapz Music and Visuals same just started and hood was my first SSR
Thumbnail says “Washington character review” Chief
This is what happens when you make thumbnail s at 4am
Hawk2zer0 great video otherwise tho!!
minnie's skill that heals her is a reference to a damage she obtained in the solomon islands, like the front 5m or so of her bow was torn off by a mine/torpedo, she immediately sailed back to an australian port for a temporary repair then headed back to pearl harbour on hawaii for full repair
Minne (not Minekaze), one of my first SR's, and I still use her in my main fleet to this day. Wonderful cruiser for me personally, even if I don't have any particular reason to give why that is so. I just like her I guess.
A fleet I commonly use for 1:1 is Bismarck with the "Certificate of Sponsorship" Item and Minneapolis, the item when equipped by Bismarck decreases the effect of "Out of ammo DMG debuff has on the main fleet. With this you still have a main fleet and a vanguard that do considerable damage.
Great Video Hawk!
Minneapolis is My Main Tank so shes really useful
Looking Forward to your next videos!
Also. Take your time mate 💙
Nice video!! If possible, (and if you haven’t already) could we get one on Cassin and Downes? :D
well eventhough she has good skill set and above avg stats, she's not part of the glorious german engineering ironblood therefore she cannot be buffed by bismarck and her tech is inferior so i'll pass
German engineering that breaks itself?
For Choco and Tanline shipfus, we also have in addition to those at the beginning of the video: Jamaica, Hazelwood, Le Mars and I-26
So, we got some good stuff in there. (We always need moar though.)
Alabama still best choco 'cause #armpitgang
Great video Hawk always enjoy your ship reviews. Didn’t see Taiho on your list. She’s probably a scarier yandre than Akagi.
Just got Minneapolis today on the heavy gacha! This vid has been really helpful!
Congrats dude! Hope you enjoy using her in sorties!
yeah am clearing the event suruga with minneapolis, baltimore and indy as vanguard. the back fleet saratoga,essex, jean bart. am doing preatty good
I like to call that fleet Delicious Chocolate. Still don't have Minneapolis though.
She seems like she'd be fun to pair with Alabama.
Great video! I've been looking for a more reliable 1:1 vanguard
HOOD!! ❤❤❤
That tanned skin though....*slurp*
my main concern for fallen wing is: can you get Colorado or West Virginia?
Great job Hawky, good to see you doin' better.
for me your videos are reliable
when i have doubt in my builds i go watch your videos to point out what i missed
fact i missed "fallen wings" event
i play PR Saint Louis for my mob fleet and next i will play PR HMS Neptune
Eagle Union CAs are very good even more if you play full USS
but Saint Louis is SO fast !
if somehow you succeed to max her stats
no regret :3
One question, what does it mean onces per battle. Its once per chapter or every battle of a chapter? I really get confused. like the video
Once per fleet engagement.
Exactly as the comment mentioned.
Each fight the fleet does, she can proc that skill...so she could constantly proc that to keep her health up if necessary.
Hawk2zer0 thankyou
Now, you may know this already, but just in case you and others don’t, the reason that US ships in AzurLane have higher than normal AA stats is due to American Warships having a special proximity fuse AA shell on their 38 caliber 5 inch guns. This meant that the shells would explode just short and a certain distance around enemy aircraft, making it much easier to shoot down or damage enemy aircraft. This AA shell was so important and revolutionary that the US navy didn’t declassify it until long after the end of WWII. Almost every US ship had 38 caliber 5 inch guns, so as a result they also get better AA than other nation’s ships due to the proximity fuse shell.
Wesley Frizzantino yes, the “Long Lance”
*Sees Hood is next*
Well, time to queue Bismarck and start digging out the magazine detonation memes...
Minneapolis is good. No doubt about that. She does need her skills leveled up to shine though. Thanks for the video!
I don't use her as often as I do my Eagle Union light cruisers. Her stats haven't held up consistently for me, so I have to either buff her damage and survivability, and I have yet to max her skills to improve her overall performance.
Thanks for the build guide though. It was helpful to see a visual aid.
As an Minneapolis user my self as well I personally prefer the washing machine and a fire extinguisher. Just to deal with less burm damage also goof oil deficiency team is tirpitz, Minneapolis, and unicorns high level treat level safe trust its amazin low for 11-4 onward
It would seem the old event ships are to become normal pool builds in the near future. I cant wait. Bismarck, Minneapolis, Massachusetts and the list goes on.
great binge watched the series so far xD really looking forward to Terror and Erebus
Eagerly waiting for the reruns of Fallen Wings and Divergent Chessboard!
Bruh! I'm totally hoping and waiting for USS Iowa to come out and to be a Sioux Squaw. As a Native Iowan that'd make me quite happy!
Glad you back make azure lane video again bro
Yes it is here OwO, good to see your motivation is coming back -_-),
Is there any way to get more French dd guns
Last time I was this early, Minneapolis was still called Washington
Actually I use her in the blueprint grind fleet throwing her solo on 8 to 11 as ghosts clearly lack survivability and eugen lacks AA ( also I hate sandy ) with some lvl 80+ backfleet needing exp or just with August von Parcival works like a charm.
Also her wedding dress is just............ DAAAAAAAAAMN
Tiniest nitpick - at 2:12 the addition is included to the numbers on the left except evasion
Anyway - if Fallen Wings is the next rerun it would be amazing, been waiting so much for it
damn when fallen wings get back, my goals are NC because is my shipfu and the one who made me start this game 2 months ago, washington because i want her to my mob fleet, and now Minneapolis!... i hope 200 cubes are enogh, because i'm saving for it
Good Luck!
Honestly, always thought she was a BB.
Good to know she be CA.
Edit: Graf Spee rerun is coming 10/10.
6:45
how exactly is mogami a dps character? more tanky than anything.
her gun/torp efficiencies suck
Main Gun @ 125% is the average efficiency (highest I think I've seen is 160% - on our glass cannon HMS CA Suffolk), she barely beats Minneapolis' firepower stat
The Torpedoes are a tad low if not average (180% is the highest I've seen) and her stat isn't bad either...we're also talking heavy cruisers here...they aren't torpedo masters (for the most part)
She has Main Gun Mount +1 thanks to the retrofit and torpedoes (but can't choose between secondary gun or torps like London)
She has full firepower to temporarily increase her damage output by a decent amount every 20 seconds
She takes less AP damage, so there's a little tankiness to that, but Portland still beats her there (mostly by health pool)
If you are clever with your torpedoes, then you can take advantage of Suppression Fire which permanently (well for the fight I believe) raise her FP (and that can stack 3 times)
Basically she's Portland, but take away ~15% health and add ~15% firepower, as well as skills that add to her damage output
@@Hawk2zer0 Wasn't expecting a response like that, but yeah I guess it works out if that's what you're after, probably really good suitability.
@@Hawk2zer0 Also if you're looking for a glass cannon rather than suffolk, I think london with all FP auxilary and dd guns equipped is probably higher dps and more tanky than suffolk. with DD guns equipped and fire control radar on both slots london basically gets double the effectiveness from equipment
Hawk is flexing the tan
HE’S FLEXING SOMETHING THAT ISN’T SANDY...
I’m proud to see he’s growing up and getting smarter :v
good visuals for the buff refresh part c:
tan bote love!
The one thing I dislike about her healing skill is that the heal is very slow and doesnt heal her immediately, so in some situations the skill could proc at the end of the battle, but you can't take advantage of the heal and even withthe skill, she can be squishy, especially in late game, still pretty ok though
Next is Hood eh?
It's freaking Hood!
It’s the year 2069 and hawk is finally covering the last ship in the list
so minneapolis or phoenix in a mob fleet?
Phoenix is cheaper if oil cost is a worry.
Minneapolis will dish out more damage so fights shouldn't last as long.
you could also use both if you want...but depends on how you want to run things. (Oil efficiency vs time efficiency)
Minneapolis is the first ship I got to level 120. She has great dps and survivability 10/10 chocolates
The thumbnail was as accurate as Direct Hit Soldier hitting a Phlog Pyro.
Welcome back Hawk
Astoria does buff her AA by 20%max and her firepower by 10%max
Sadly i must wait till rerun to make my Tan-girl fleet because Alabama wouldn't show up for me i have all of them except her
My thoughts always about how perfectly executed your accent and voices was
just a FYI, no serious player would use Prinz Eugen as sure she's tanky.... and that's it. Better choices would be Hipper, Portland Kai, Zara. I do wonder if you have plans on updating some of the videos as their age shows rather clearly. But 99% good job is still good.
The main thing I'd update is showing lvl 100 -> 120 stats. Those can give a better view with the newer mechanics and increased level cap.
@@Hawk2zer0 that is a big thing for some CAs who will start gaining among other things, noticeable amounts of evasion near 120. I'd have to go through the older videos to see what'd exactly need to update.
4:30 As A Expert Face Torpedoer, I Am Outraged That You Missed 3 Torpedoes!
You forgot that using the AP gun + full limit break is pretty good too! She can fire the gun 6 times! That's 12 salvo in a few second! Also her skill helps that hellish reload! I love her! She's already max level for me. 😂 😂
Hawk doing equip guides for the shipgirls now yay.
I'm kinda new to azur lane. I'm loving the game so far, but i don't know how to get this rare ships. Can someone please tell me when will minneapolis be available again? If you know when, please tell me and thank you very much for your help!!! Have a great day!
Sorry for the late response, but she is event locked for now. I am unsure when Fallen Wings will come back as a rerun, but I believe it should be the next rerun to appear for the game (if you're on EN side)
she can live forever because her skill reactivates each fight healing her again and again...
thats the true strength
Not only will we see full tan fleets, we'll also see the 5 dark 1 white fleets now...
have you seen a actual ww2 era us ship
they slap them 40mm bofors and 20mm cannon and whatever the hell they have everywhere
Cant wait for the Nevada sisters, underrated backline.
lol you cant believe this, was watching this and say huh, this guy put some weird aux combo for Minneapolis, wasting the only beavers tag and one high tier aux, but i want to try it out... went into my Minneapolis... and she got the same setup lol
5:01 how can you bring her down to only 94 healthbars at 20 sec timer...
Wasn't focused on attacking...was trying to proc her skill
got Minneapolis at lvl 100 with almost all her skills at lv10. hardly use her for 1:1 fleets :/
Oh yeah!
I WANT THAT HELLO IN EVERY VIDEO... WHY? it's cute
Can you add Souryuu & Hiryuu?
Just got her today
The editing on the video was nice
Sandy has one job...
Would that happen to be "Large Scale Mandarin Collection"?
What is a "niche" role means?
like a specialization...basically...it's something they character can easily do and not have too much worries or risk with it.
Minneapolis looks like Kancolle Musashi.
Can't wait for cassin and downes those 2 are kinda underrated
Seems like eagle union in general is average to below average in most ship compared to the other nations.
the only thing that I could say about the next video: FREAKIN. HOOD. DUDE.
Ahhh... you married her too. You are indeed a man of culture like me.
YISS.
CHOCO WAIFUS!
For some reason Minneapolis reminds me like someone from Monster Hunter.
All I hear is not Minneapolis, but "Mini Apples" :D
I stil only use the Deutschen Schiffe.
Colorado class would be interesting
Last time I was this early, I can’t think of anything
my Minneapolis is already 120 she's good also my favorite vanguard fleet
