This ship has special meaning to me. I served on the last HMS Exeter for 2 years and it was my very first ship I served on. While I was on it, I got to meet a member of the crew from this HMS Exeter. He was on her when she was sunk by the Japanese in WW2 and he was taken as a POW. Very humbling experience.
Love how Spartan doesn't care about the time, he just records and releases entertainment and fun for everyone no matter what! You gotta love Spartan and his ways.
I got on the bus today in London and an old man in the seat next to me started crying. He had lived through ww2, his wife had left him and his dog died. But he told me he had finally lost all hope when he heard Spartan Elite pronounce Exeter. Why would you do that Spartan?
GG. There is a good movie about the sinking of Graf Spee involving Exeter at River Plate called Battle of River Plate 1956. German Commander scuttled Graf then shot himself. In regards to the game if it grows up to become a Battleship I might play it! Peas love and Montevideo port, Johnno Bloke.
Exeter is pronounced Exit-er just so you know for the future, I know some place names in the UK are pronounced differently to how they’re spelt also there were actually two of the York class built, the other being HMS York
Egggzeeeeeter. Think Spartan was channeling Tbull there. York was the lead ship in this reduced heavy cruiser class, but they were more half-sisters. York has a somewhat different appearance. The Brits were thinking they could make an 8" dual purpose gun and found out with York that wasn't going to fly. The subsequent ship--Exeter--had no such pretensions and the superstructure was revamped for an improved aircraft loadout.
Hey Spartan, love ur vids and I've been wondering how do you record voice and the game on xbox. I've tried just about everything and can't figure it out. Keep up the amazing work
Hi Spartan, Firstly let me say I LOVE YOUR STUFF, However, as an Englishman proud of his language and despairing of what you and your American Brothers have done to it, I have to join the comments below about your pronunciation of the Name Exeter, Which is a City in the UK. If you ever have any question on names of UK ships please feel free to message me, Hopefully BEFORE you commit anything to a recording. Keep up the great videos, Jingles would be proud of you !! :)
the german steel pack is free with game pass for me normally its 50 bucks but im not sure if you can get add ons for free with game pass does anyone else see that
I agree. I now use Scott and Kuznestzov as Inspirations on EVERY Cruiser Comander. I only use Yamamoto as an Inspiration on Scott and Kuznestzov themselves.
Way to go spartan. I know how long you played this game and I have one question for you and everyone. Has anyone 1 shot a full health belfast on your first salvo of the game? Can anyone give me some tips on how to play the Colorado effectively?
I want apt other full House shifts but not belfast Colorado yeah that's a difficult ship to play don't like it although I can't explain much here but there is vids in fact if you search up meet the Colorado from the same RUclips re-watching right now it will help you same with tbull vids
Thats oddly specific. For colorado you want to bow tank the enemy shot then turn the rear to get full salvo off then swing back to bow tank before next salvo from enemy
@@SpartanElite43 I believe that initially Pensacola was supposed to mount 152mm guns instead of 8 inch guns but with the Japanese navy launching the Mogami class the USN ditched the 6 inch guns and mounted the 8 inch ones. Which caused big stability problems considering that the Pensacola was designed as a light cruiser. Also what do you think of the Gneisenau having researchable 11 inch guns?
Nope British have these are an interesting bunch and we won't be seen them in sometime they barely got out testing in testing PC who knows I may be surprised but in Dino Force earn it won't be with American lights
I'm from Plymouth the city next to Exeter in England, with the rivalry between the two, I would call the ship a lot worse being named after that city.....😂😂
Can't believe you were pronouncing the name wrong the whole time. Spartan its pronounced Exit-er. Also Exeter was not a one-off ship her sister ship was the York. Good review. I will be purchasing this one.
What are your thoughts about the USN light cruisers? Honestly i’m excited to see how they will turn out against other light cruisers (russian cruisers to be exact).
U guys wanna here something funny? Earlier today i was playing in my french t5 cruiser and had 3 exeters on my team right? So we all move forward at the start of the game to cap c point. Well guess what the two exeters did that i was spawned next to. The hid in their smoke screens while i faced down a belfast and Indianapolis french t5 cruiser. Oh and might i add they didnt even 1 kilometer from their spawn point.
I gotta say. You are a good CC. However, how do you expect me to watch a 20 minute video and you can’t even pronounce the name or what equipment to run. Good luck to ya spartan I’ll check back in the future
That Furutaka could have easily killed you if he JUST SHOT HIS GUNS! A salvo of HE could have ended you. Please teammates use your guns. Don't waste time trying to torpedo cruisers that have no health and definitely don't try to torpedo DDs.
@@SpartanElite43 ok i did screw up i shouldve said "player" because i was referring to the kirov comment... But yeah you do that in mostly all games not that its bad i actually like it haha
Geez spartan a lot of people are correcting you😬 let’s calm down brits we’re from America so we don’t know how you pronounce everything just like you probably don’t know how we pronounce everything
HamzahNightFlash Here! love this review i did a similar review ruclips.net/video/EjKo6W2TgDQ/видео.html hahaha loving your energy as always spartan she is not powerful or weak she is a great balanced Cruiser, she has good speed, & maneuverability, armaments & put the right captain skills she can be a great support ship at any given moment Much love & Respect - NightFlash
Who cares about pronounciation? Or spelling.. coz i'm pretty sure i did'nt spell that right 😂 I'm here for the entertainment and informative gameplay. My god, you are the god of citadels. I like your vids, but i hope i never see you in game 😂 Unless you're on my team 😇

Wow great story and Thanks for your service!
Sorry for mispronouncing it
Spartan Elite43 🤣 no problem, I’ve probably butchered names of some places in the US! We live and learn!
The way he tried to pronounce Exeter 😂 much love my guy
Its a dirty job but someones gotta do it
Pulled a full Tbull with that pronunciation
@@SpartanElite43 yo just to help you pronounce it , sound it out like X-E-TA love ya spartan
Exit-er
Exit er. Just think of the pull out method
It’s pronounce Exit-Er
Connor Gordon I like him but he’s definitely not a historian.
LibertyMagnus it’s more geography, Exeter’s in Devon
Exit-ter?
Haha wow look at those likes it may be a record
@@richlondonrich Exit tah...! =)
I have issues with pronouncing stuff as well, Spartan. Try not to let the comments get to you! You're doing your best. Thanks for the awesome videos!
Much appreciated
I know it's been said but I must chime again... 'Exit-er'.
This is almost as good as firing up bismarck lovers
Finally a British ship also love your commentary and gameplay
Awesome glad you enjoyed
Love how Spartan doesn't care about the time, he just records and releases entertainment and fun for everyone no matter what! You gotta love Spartan and his ways.
I've got goals and can't reach them by slackin

Just a reminder spartan your work will not go unnoticed because I am extremely glad to look foreword to them
Thank you
“british on british action”
On British
Hey whoa buddy,this here is a family channel..
I love heavy cruisers,I’m so close to the hipper,if I had enough I’d for sure buy this ship!
I like the playstyle of heavy cruisers
Exeter is pronounced Exit-er just so you know for the future, I know some place names in the UK are pronounced differently to how they’re spelt also there were actually two of the York class built, the other being HMS York
Nice

awww i wanted to get in a game with spartan and just be entertained to the point i would just sit and watch
Lol
Good game Spartan way to show what the Exeter is made of!
Shes a good ship just be careful with battleships
@@SpartanElite43 Gotcha i'll keep that in my mind
The T-22 is one of the ships needed for the Bureau ops...likely a better than expected player base in them for a bit...
I had to give him props he tried but I forced him to play my way and he never really had a chance
Love how you pronounced Exeter
Spartan!!!!!👍👍👍👍👍👍I'm playing approx 15 Standard Battles and same for AI a day now!!!
Awesome to hear you're back enjoying the game!
Hey Spartan, love ur vids and I've been wondering how do you record voice and the game on xbox. I've tried just about everything and can't figure it out. Keep up the amazing work
I record the game using capture card and edit and narrate on my pc
Got it . Thank you
Loved the vid as always
After running into one and sinking it 43 seconds into the match, I can confirm it is very fragile.

Saving up doubloons for "official" year one events (August?) But I do love me the RN cruisers and this one is mighty tempting...
amazing battle mate!💯🤤👌👍😁
GG....I don't wear a headset either....I turn into Sgt Hartman from Full Metal Jacket!!!
Yeah it just gets a bit too nasty
Yeah I have the same issue.
I got the Iowa resently so I would like to know what commander build you have
I've got a video on it called my battleship builds
Spartan Elite43 I think I have gotten to use to the brawling of the German battleships I need to get better at the all or nothing armer scene
the german steel pack is free with game pass for me normally its 50 bucks but im not sure if you can get add ons for free with game pass does anyone else see that
Yes british heavy cruisers
Outstanding
I was literally bout to go to sleep too & then u uploaded 😞🤣
Haha maybe I should change my name to NoZleep4U
Wouldn’t AL Belfast be a better option for a commander?
Well played sir!
I really like this ship. I like to use Tennant but to each their own.
Got to use kutazov the Russian cpt for range with scott
I agree. I now use Scott and Kuznestzov as Inspirations on EVERY Cruiser Comander. I only use Yamamoto as an Inspiration on Scott and Kuznestzov themselves.

hello spartan I love your videos greetings from Argentina!
Ex-ee-ter Spartan! It’s a place in England. Haha
the Pensacolas are light cruiser with heavy Cruiser guns
Yeah snd they feel very similar to this
@@SpartanElite43 I believe that initially Pensacola was supposed to mount 152mm guns instead of 8 inch guns but with the Japanese navy launching the Mogami class the USN ditched the 6 inch guns and mounted the 8 inch ones.

Also what do you think of the Gneisenau having researchable 11 inch guns?
Hey Spartan, which in your opinion is a better BB, Iowa or Vladivostok? Have both unlocked but not sure which to buy.
Go Vlad
Go Iowa
Iowa is more consistent but vladi is very good
I wonder if this means we'll get the British heavy cruisers at the same time as the American lights.
Nope British have these are an interesting bunch and we won't be seen them in sometime they barely got out testing in testing PC who knows I may be surprised but in Dino Force earn it won't be with American lights
For certain*
I'm from Plymouth the city next to Exeter in England, with the rivalry between the two, I would call the ship a lot worse being named after that city.....😂😂
As someone who loved his Pensacola and enjoyed AP-ing with his Nurnburg, would this be worth the $30?
Think pensacola with torps
@@SpartanElite43 So a big, boomy cruiser with a standoff sidearm. Interesting.
U should try hitting the back side of Russian cruisers at full broadside it works for me
As a Brit, it pains me to hear you call Exeter Egg-zeeter. Please pass the names through google translate or something to hear what it sounds like
😆
What did you call her....😩😩😩😩😩
Exeter
I personally like British cruisers. Get Leander today and she is amazing
Nice
Everybody's a critic SpartanElite43. You'll have to do a series called World of Correct Pronunciation 😜
How do you get the Yamato?
Dont worry about the mic im the same way
Can’t forget the upgrades bro 😂
Lol I did all that without modules imagine if I had them!
The what!??!? “The X ZEETER”
Lol
me: wants to watch in 4k
my wifi: no
Haha im with ya but at least I have the video to watch in 4k
I don’t think I’m going to pick this one up I do like to play battleships and cruisers but, I’m trying to save my doubloons for the 40,000 update
Aside from the pronunciation 😆, am very interested in the Exeter. But £30 for a tier 5 ship is a hell of a lot. 👍
If you going to buy a tier 5 cruiser I recommend the graf spee
Sorry about that but if you like heavy cruisers think Pensacola with torps
@@SpartanElite43 haha. Don't worry about it dude. Looks like everyone got their penny's worth out of that one.
You can fire HEEEEE
Yup
Wait did someone say exeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeter
E
I really want to see you play mogami
Yeah not there yet
We waiting 🔥
I love big guns.
Yep
I sunk 2 Exeter last night .... with my Aoba !
your so Lucky I am a kid I also play world of War ships and I am jealous also I am a big big fan
Glad you enjoy be careful down there in Aussie land! Don't rush growing up! Enjoy it while it lasts!
Lmao Spartan at that name
Exit-er
So exit with er on the end boss 😋🤣😒😲
Exit er but I just got er
@@SpartanElite43 hehe
Why you don’t use the aim assist that the game has? tbull has a vid on it
I dont need it i land most of my shots
Man I'm in the us and did it pronounce it that way..I started with Ex-it-err..not ex-zee-ter..wher did the ZZ come from..
Can't believe you were pronouncing the name wrong the whole time. Spartan its pronounced Exit-er. Also Exeter was not a one-off ship her sister ship was the York. Good review. I will be purchasing this one.
Exeeter, really?
Lol
Spartan Elite43 that’s not preferable Spartan
I thought you play only on battleship
Lol I play everything! But I'm st my best in battleships
Exit -er! lol Good game though
I had to goof something up right?!
What are your thoughts about the USN light cruisers? Honestly i’m excited to see how they will turn out against other light cruisers (russian cruisers to be exact).

@@SpartanElite43 just finished the video, great game. Going to have to buy it now
Funny pronunciation of the ships name ! Ha ha ha ha. Exeter is the county town of Devon , Typical Yank Lol
Glad to see yall have a sense of humor
Exeter is pronounced _ Eksiter in the UK
Great game love this ship but for us brits pronounce the name right X eter lol
love me an egseeda
Wtf,Exeeter. I'm killing myself,how does one fuck up the name this bad?
👌👍
God I unlocked the KGV and its just as bad as it is on PC lol whyyy did I do this
it’s pretty good if you go for cruisers
Kgv is a beast, Cunningham with he spam build
Haha
It's not ex-EE-ter not exit-er
It's EX-itter
I gotta say. You are a good CC. However, how do you expect me to watch a 20 minute video and you can’t even pronounce the name or what equipment to run. Good luck to ya spartan I’ll check back in the future
I mean if that's the worst thing I'll do in your eyes then I think I'll be ok
You will want to pronounce Exeter like x-ter- a. Just letting you know so you don’t get shouted at in future videos
Lol
That Furutaka could have easily killed you if he JUST SHOT HIS GUNS! A salvo of HE could have ended you.
Please teammates use your guns. Don't waste time trying to torpedo cruisers that have no health and definitely don't try to torpedo DDs.
Lol he was screwed as soon as he pulled out broadside
You were pronouncing Exeter wrong apart from that great video
Oops but glad you enjoyed
Its like a better Aoba but not worth real money imo
What did you just call the Exeter? LOL Lots of Englishmen pissing themselves laughing. (Pronounce it EXITER)
Haha
Lol not Ex-E-ter or Exit-er its Ex-eh-ter the second is true if you have a chav accent xD
😄
@@SpartanElite43 Didn't mean to rag I know you get a lot of these. Love the videos though :)
Youre avg spartan elite game nagging about teammates missing torps no matter the range when he misses torps beneath 3kms LOL
