Used to volunteer on the USS Texas in High School, loved that ship. Helped fix some of the AA Guns on the deck that tourists could swing around. Currently she's in a berth getting much needed repairs, so lets hope she survives this round. Thanks Yuro for covering it on WOWS lmao.
I've been to the Texas many times, as I live relatively close. Super cool experience for those interested in naval history. For those who don't know, she is actually still technically in the Navy as the only ship in the Texan Navy. She had torpedo tubes like submarines had that were sealed up in her refit in-between WW1 and WW2. She also did some absolute mad-lad stuff during D-Day when the captain purposely flooded one side of the torpedo protection to create a list so the ship's guns could arc higher and shoot farther and caught a German counterattack by surprise as a result.
Flooding part of the torp protection for better range sounds like a special captain skill in real life. "when flooding +10% range -90% speed". Texas in ww2 "skill activated".
USS Texas, USS Wisconsin, USS NJ are certified irl seal clubbers for what they did to land targets. USS Texas flooding her self for better firing arcs. USS Wisconsin letting loose a full Salvo against a enemy artillery crew that hit her. USS NJ Deleted the target, and surrounding area.
Interestingly, I came to same conclusion in my time with New-York and US drednoughts in general - you need to stick close to the middle of the map or else you will always be late to everything.
As someone who has invested a STUPID amount of battles into the USS New York, I can say the NY-class in general holds a very underlying versatility that is overshadowed by the bad speed. While the side plates are still somewhat weak, they are still side plates for the casemate. You can still bounce shots against wallet warrior Tier VII players stuck in the Erie realm. But yeah generally expect to lose a bit of HP to HE.
Commodore Dewey took her from her Posting in China as the US Asiatic Squadron Flagship to Manila Bay in the Philippines 🇵🇭. She still exists and is in worse condition then Texas.
"mainly tier 5 is full of infalliable people, just like texas" If i get a nickle everytime yuro say something true about ship and a damn states, i would have two nickle, which is weird it happens twice
The Texas was such a fun ship when it first came out during that time when AA still made sense and actually functioned. I remember screening my team as an escort and chewing through planes. Then they changed the meta and turned CV into sky cancer.
People like you who claim to have played before the reworkt hen claim that CVs 'turned' into sky cancer are either liars or idiots with no memory. New carriers have to chip chip chip away at a warship and are a nuisceance compared to the older carriers, especially the older japanese carrier, that could pick out a warship and make it dissapear with a single strike.
@@alphamaccao5224 after rework AA dont matter but CV still can delete you with 2 strikes. Before rework you could equipt DFAA and have little easier to doge and every plane shoot down matter.
I stopped playing this ship once they took away the flak clouds. Nowadays it's replaced by my West Virginia, which at least has that gun caliber (with good pen, unlike Mutsu) to stand out.
Still not sure why they added the dogshit California for tier 7 when they had post-Pearl Harbor W. Virginia that’d basically be a Colorado _right fuckin’ there_. IMHO, it’d be pretty perfect too: much like how the Arizona is basically a premium New Mexico with worse AA for (IIRC) slightly less bad sigma, (ofc it’s old enough that a premium being equal/identical to the tech tree versus wasn’t done so AZ could just be slightly inferior to NM because “it prints money compared to NM, if you want a _good_ ship play the tech tree with the Captain you trained up using it”), the W. Virginia (194x, x > 1) could be very similar to Colorado but, you know, premium. I doubt many people would buy it, since the Colorado isn’t exactly super good, but _nobody_ who wasn’t a whale or collector bought the California.
Actually, Texas is a _super_ dreadnought; so-called because of her turret arrangement into centerline, superfiring pairs. Your regular dreadnoughts made use of main battery guns in the form of wing turrets. Think: Kawachi, Nassau, and HMS Dreadnought herself.
Actually, Actually, the Texas was a super dreadnought because it was bigger and newer than the second generation dreadnoughts.... the fact that it's turrets where superfiring was mostly irrelevant to the name... several first and second generation dreadnoughts had superfiring turrets, and several first generation super dreadnoughts still had wing turrets
Wrong. USS south carolina and USS wyoming and their sister ships were center line main battery warships that were regular dreadnought. With south carolina having 4x turrets in superfiring arangement. Maybe actually make sure your information is correct before saying stuff because otherwise you look like an idiot.
what to do till you reach action with the Texas: take a nap, download 1TB of data on a slow internet connection, read War and Peace... As usual, great video, Yuro ^^ still hoping for Bismarck one day but eh I guess time will tell. At least you already got Derpitz checked off
I miss the old Texas before the CV/AA rework. AA sector selection was a delete button for the squadron when spec'ed correctly and with an AA-spec captain. That ship had an Iron Dome around it before Israel did.
What’s stupid is I’m fairly certain 40mm bofors were also big enough for proximity fuses, so USN and RN at least should have flak clouds to help represent the FAR more effective AA fire even if someone else had identical AA
Well I haven't played the game in two years or so but I remember back in the days, probably before CVs were reworked from RTS playstyle, I actually had a lot fun with this ship. CVs were the worst thing back then but the Texas with its broken AA could just screw every CV it faced and it was so godly. You could sail across the map and then planes showed up and either the CV knew, went "heck no screw this" and ran or didn't knew and got half of his planes wrecked with you hardly taking any damage. Either way that was always such an amazing change from how you'd get screwed by CVs in pretty much any other ship at that time. So again, I enjoyed my Texas back then and salute the ship. o7
AA was broken on the Texas? It has more machine gun emplacements then Normandy so of course it chewed planes back in the day. It was the best escort for BBs. Now AA is totally broken.
Eh, Texas was never an AA escort, really. It’s always had the 3.5km range, which is pretty purely self-defense. However, I’d bet the intimidation factor probably meant it still had the CV looking for ships on the other side of the map.
The Texas has been my lucky ship since she was put into the game. I remember sailing the New York around pretending it was the Texas and hoping she'd be put in the game one day. Was so excited when she was, and I still sail her from time to time when I bother to update the game and play it again. I know she's real out of meta now, but I'm one of those players who sails her because she is the Texas and I've been aboard her. She's my ship, the first ship I ever set foot one, the first ship I ever got close to even, my first real piece of history I got to explore and a place I've many fond memories of. I'll always sail the Texas because she is my ship.
I clicked into your channel earlier today Yuro and thought to myself "I wonder when he's gonna release a new video?" - lo and behold, my prayers have been answered! Happy new year!
I don't know how I got here. I've never played a single day of world of warships in my life. I couldn't understand half the things you were saying but this video STILL made me laugh my ass off. Bravo?
cannot wait for the next guide, I hope it's either Kii, Ashitaka, Guiseppi Verdi, or any other ship in the game because yuro reviews are amazing nonetheless
T5 is so much better. You actually have to get close instead of across the map bs. If I just wanted to shoot across a map I'd play the game missile on my calculator.
@@shoukatsukai I don't exactly disagree that this happens. But in normal Random Battle - at least where I play (EU), the premiums that show up aren't that much better than Tree ships. And if you have someone with "deadly premium" - they usually lack skills to be very dangerous.
I don't even play this game, but I find these videos that fit in your how-to guides very entertaining. Hope you've got more coming in the future as well!
Thank you for this great video sir. I've abandoned my Texas long ago because she was free but useless as her speed is somewhere between snail and turtle. Having said all that... the "Continental Drift" segment had me laughing for over a minute straight =)
Stomped around on her on a nice July day once. Damn near died in the Houston swamp air. Still loved the visit, even if it meant going to Houston from Dallas.
Stopped playing WoWs years ago, but damn that first BB death was just...perfect. I always called it getting "sploinked" when someone died and obvious and stupid way... Man I miss this game sometimes...even if it's just for the brain-farts some people pull.
Eh, I still love my Texas. I have an ungodly number of American dreadnoughts. When I play it, I sit down at my desk, put on my cowboy hat, belt buckle the size of a dinner plate, fire my Walker revolver into the air five times, and this allows me to summon the spirits of all Texans past and give me good RNG.
After the time I bought Gibraltar and you immediately made a video on it I was half expecting one on Plymouth this time! Still, another great one as usual!
I wish they never added CV rework, before the rework we were able to increase AA range and made it amazing, a fat AA barge that made carriers uninstall...now it's stuck to 3.5km AA range...wtf..
I almost never have bad dispersion in the texas, so even though i don't run a special captain, I barely even have any captain points and yet it never fails me.
I will get the Texas if they ever reopen the promo where the proceeds go to the refurbishing of the real ship. It is awesome to behold in person. When they let you inside you can see all 12 or so secondary guns.
Yuro typically reserves guides for ships most people don’t know how to play, so probably not. On the other hand, I had NC and later Iowa for at least 6 months and never really learned how to use the insane improvement in speed, range, and concealment from the Colorado to fully utilize those improvements. It’s been over two years now, and I think it’s telling my main memory of New Mexico is being fat but pretty well armed and armored and overall pretty fun, while NC and Iowa were me constantly getting kited when at range, getting my shit kicked in if planes spotted me and negated my low surface and air detection, preventing ambushes, and many ambushes that I _did_ pull off, if I got sweaty palms or unlucky and didn’t dev strike them, I’d be in a “man fight” close range brawl that I was in the wrong ship for (that is to say, for USN, _not_ Massachusetts or Georgia). And that’s when I didn’t forget I had a decent top speed and got myself into a close(-ish) range fight I didn’t want to be in. While not exactly something well-suited to a 10-minute video, I think it’d be a good chance to talk about how you should play at high tiers, and probably more importantly, what your mindset should be.
Thank you Yuro for doing this video as a life long Texan thank you so much one of the few ships in game that still exists. Also thank you for all the hard work that you put in to these videos they are very funny and I enjoy them. When is the next red yeet video pls.
Yeah, I recently play this ship and reset the captain skills (17 points one and skip the furious) and module for her slot as your recommendation. The "extra tankness" is very fun especially in T5 match without CV. 😂😂 I can see a lot light crushier shoot at me but cause no fire and almost no damage, and thanks for her armour, CA and BB deal little damage if you angle the hull in right way.
I actually recommend you use Willis Lee with a survival build. Then add the secondary buff and every reload speed booster you can get your hands on. The Texas can be a real bully in its tier if built right. Used her to smoke a braindead Fuso driver who pretended to ignore me till it was too late. Then I absolutely pummeled a Bayern who was focusing on something else. The Arizona is probably the only other ship that can KO a Texas
While I agree she should have been saved, the question is why?. She had no battle honours as she didn't see service in the second world war, she had little purpose other than becoming the Queen's personal yacht at the cost of the Royal Navy and would of been obscene to maintain. What should have been saved, and criminal that she wasn't, was HMS Warspite. But again she would of been obscene to maintain as she was so utterly worn out after 2 wars and a lot of action.
@@razgriz380 warspite was already heavily damaged due to a fritz X. Most veteran's I've spoken to from the navy say Vanguard should have been saved and be treated like HMS Victory and be the fleets "flagship" there were no other battleships in the Royal navy which could have been saved without substantial modernisation or repairs. Vanguard had just come out of a modernisation 4 years before.
I once played New York for 12 minutes watching as my entire team left me, and was overran by the entire enemy team who were out of range/sight for 10 minutes. Zero counterplay, ship was so slow it could never get into any position
Dems was the good Ol days… and kept it historical bc the real Texas got a ton of AA after Pearl Harbor. But loved when a cv tried to hit my Texas in game. Looked like a light show all the AA guns poppin and flyboys droppin 😂😂😂
Furious also activates when you remind a Texan that Alaska is the biggest state
In this case also a bigger ship ;)

Yeah, I recently play this ship and reset the captain skills (17 points one and skip the furious) and module for her slot as your recommendation.
The "extra tankness" is very fun especially in T5 match without CV. 😂😂
I can see a lot light crushier shoot at me but cause no fire and almost no damage, and thanks for her armour, CA and BB deal little damage if you angle the hull in right way.
I actually recommend you use Willis Lee with a survival build. Then add the secondary buff and every reload speed booster you can get your hands on. The Texas can be a real bully in its tier if built right. Used her to smoke a braindead Fuso driver who pretended to ignore me till it was too late. Then I absolutely pummeled a Bayern who was focusing on something else. The Arizona is probably the only other ship that can KO a Texas
>Sees Intro
Where have I seen this before...
*flasback to Scharnhorst video from a million years ago*
Ah.
The team America theme song when op commander part had me laughing so hard
That part at the start of the vid where he sets up the "Continental Drift" joke at 7:19. O7
6:06 😂💀
If you do not love burjer bun, you will never be able to burjer. I mean Love.
That continental drift joke got me good
always love your videos
That Vanguard joke...that hurt

She should've been saved!
We all make mistakes
Remmeber we scrapped USS enterprise
While I agree she should have been saved, the question is why?. She had no battle honours as she didn't see service in the second world war, she had little purpose other than becoming the Queen's personal yacht at the cost of the Royal Navy and would of been obscene to maintain. What should have been saved, and criminal that she wasn't, was HMS Warspite. But again she would of been obscene to maintain as she was so utterly worn out after 2 wars and a lot of action.
@@razgriz380 warspite was already heavily damaged due to a fritz X. Most veteran's I've spoken to from the navy say Vanguard should have been saved and be treated like HMS Victory and be the fleets "flagship" there were no other battleships in the Royal navy which could have been saved without substantial modernisation or repairs. Vanguard had just come out of a modernisation 4 years before.
I like that you can find the good in any ship. Such a positive worldview! =^[.]~=
Fun tip: flood the half of the ship to tilt it so you can have more range
This comes just in time, Wargaming bestowed upon me a free Texas.
Unfortunately I'm on Legends.
Having fun is a felony offense in any war game.
I once played New York for 12 minutes watching as my entire team left me, and was overran by the entire enemy team who were out of range/sight for 10 minutes. Zero counterplay, ship was so slow it could never get into any position
Hopefully you learned your lesson and abandoned the line at that point, because Slow Mexico and slowLOLrado are more of the same.
@@brooksrownd2275 oddly enough, new mexico was one of my best boats and enjoyed it. The line was abandoned at 7 because it somehow got slower.
1:59: Konig? Its more likely Koenig or König XD
Someone know the source of the scream thing at 2:19?
I believe it comes from: (ironmouse v-tuber)
Not sure which video. She tends to scream in almost every video 😅
Yuro vids are so goood.
before cv rework this ship was so good vs cv its crazy ... could shret t7 cv's
Dems was the good Ol days… and kept it historical bc the real Texas got a ton of AA after Pearl Harbor.
But loved when a cv tried to hit my Texas in game. Looked like a light show all the AA guns poppin and flyboys droppin 😂😂😂
Didn't know that the 'Ikuyo' was so strong in Texas.
>T5 cruisers just exist to explode
[laughs in Königsberg]
Thank you!
