OMG how is this ship so powerful??? - World of Warships

- This is one of those ships that I called an absolute POS since day 1.
Gouden Leeuw did everything worse than others and its main feature was dumb. Powerful but mostly ineffective, not to mention that most ppl think they should play this ships as an airfield.
I, ofc, wasn't gonna play it like everyone else so I decided to play it like a noram cruiser and see what I can do with it.
The results were astonishing to me.
Enjoy and have fun watching ;)

About Hannover secondaries: that is the gimmick of that Super Battleship: improved secondaries range: +20% for few good seconds, after activating it.
14.4km
And 483mm guns. It is a beast.
@@juankovacs6033 But sometimes you are not able to hit a Barn from the inside because of that gun dispersion....
@@TheEmmetdocbrown yeah well, is just usual game bias although Germans historically never build turrets with more than 2 guns with a higher caliber than 283mm. They thought less guns made the turret vibrate less and the guns more accurate. Pretty ironic.
@@juankovacs6033 You're right. Look at the Bismarck for example. The Bismarcks main guns where so accurate that it was common for their crew that they hit their target in the first salvo with a 60 to 80 % ratio. That means 5-6 of 8 shots are hitting in the first salvo. Now look how often you hit in WoWs with Bismarcks main guns....
This is a great series. It will be a sad day when Flambass runs out of ships whose stats need “improvement”. When he puts his mind to it, he could Kraken with a one-oared rowboat, main battery consisting of a kid with an AK-47.
Good to see how someone is not camping behind the island on this ship, it's a rare thing to see in the battles now.
So true, people avoid them because the other "big names" in WoWs content say its junk. Basically the only guys using them are Trenlass and Flambass. good ship
I mean you can do that when there is no sub
I think Trenlass already told you few times, that GL is very strong ship. I play some battles with this ship, and those airstrikes hits like train.
As the Air Strikes are good the guns are even better. Shame that he didn't give the AP more love this battle, he would have been even more shocked if he did :) The lack of Air ASW and the bad armor scheme are the ONLY downsides of the ship.
@@dominges i would argue that actually THE biggest downside of the ship is the BS 60s fire you get on it
@@Sigrid_Von_Sincluster Honestly you can play around that issue. IF the ships had adequate armor scheme, I bet that most ppl wouldn't even consider the fire duration an issue.
people play ships differently for some might not work
@@jamesharris9894 true, true
This ship is great, I love it. Quite tanky (though 60s fires), good HE with good fire chance and planes for those crawling around islands or camping. Those planes make you play in optimal range and your concealment of 10,6 km makes GL absolutely great kiting ship.
And, btw, you got almost deleted there by Slava at 12:50, he missed a perfect broadside salvo by few meters. Definitely play this more, GL is fun in a good way and actually works against CVs a bit.
There's also the 30mm deck being a pretty big weakness at longer range as 431mm+ shells will just overmatch you when kiting since despite getting 40mm casemate plating it actually has the same deck armor as Yoshino and Ägir weirdly enough rather than 36mm like Alaska/Puerto Rico or Marseille. I think I might have been sleeping on it too with some many creators calling it rubbish.
hahah... 3:20 Flamba: "can I get the kill, maybe?"
Stalingrad with 4 fires and no health: "Kuznetzov says no"
I love the Gouden! The AP on that thing is so spicy against other cruisers. The air strikes are just the icing on the cake
I remember Dev striking a Stalingrad on max range with this ap, 5 citadels on it, was so fun
you ever considered,
the ship stayed the same since 3 matches,
but you adapted AND shared the thoughts while doing so with US.
Many thanks, that helps my game as well other players.
A casual viewer here, I'm enjoying these stat building videos.
Remember the Golden has 283mm guns the dispersion aint great but when they land they hit hard and I love the air drops, as for the hannovers secondaries when he uses the magic button the range increases too around 14k and the reload speed and accuracy also goes up.
I've just ground my way to this ship (My 3rd tech line I've gotten all the way through T10). There is still a lot I need to learn about this line, but I think you maxed out what this ship could do in battle. Thank you for playing her and for sharing this video.
There are few ships in this game that are absolute fun to play (for me) cuz they are very skill oriented. For eg: JB, Elbing, Vermont, Halland, Minotaur and yes Gouden
"No carriers, no subs, two DDs..."
Well, there is a carrier.
It's you.
All you needed was a little more spaced armor. (Islands) Well done! Some gimmicks are like an auto-delete key; some require tactical competence. Hannover showed the balancing weakness: this cruiser is no Hindenburg, so open water is not your friend when the Eye of Sauron turns your way.
The guns of the Dutch heavy cruisers are pretty good, I find. On the other hand, ASW is pretty rough. Another cruiser where you figure out where the opposing subs are and go somewhere else.
I think it's just powercreep. Back when it was just released DDs were significantly more popular than they are now, so GL's underwhelming damage against them and its complete lack of utility made it feel quite useless at times, especially for good players who wish to have a higher impact on the outcome of the game.
But now thanks to subs, most competent DD players don't want to play the class anymore, and the ones who still play are mostly no good. In such a BB-rich environment there's little wonder that GL shines.
I think that might be it - I know certainly that I don't play DDs anymore (despite daring and marceau being my 2 favourite ships for ages)
I've always defended the GL when people said it was shit. Some of my highest damage cruiser games are in the GL..
best games i ever had in this ship, i didnt even use the planes until end game! when there is 1 or 2 left..i found it a distraction and usually got me killed if focus on using planes .
I always liked this ship since release. With the good commander, good skills, and good airstrike hits, you can perma fire everything easily.
And if you are very low health, you can still stealth bomb enemies to death...
You FINALLY started using He as your main ammo type, it is AMAZING especially with the special capt + the airstrikes ^^
*Hint: do NOT sleep on the AA it's hilariously busted if built even slightly for ^^
Flambass “World of Warships? Completed it mate!”
That fire chance on the guns though. As if the bombs are not enough already …
I love to see the old Flamba back. Happy and laughing. Loong time since. It's sad to see how this game has made you so bitter otherwise.
ive had amazing luck with he in this thing killing dds, much like shikishima, the dpm is a little low, but the accuracy and low arcs make it insane at hitting almost any dd within a certain distance
60 second fires? Decent AP? Bombs? You want it? It´s yours, my friend! As long as you have enough Silver!
Your play in Tromp has improved your planes. Perhaps Montana is a good place to visit? LOL.
i alway love and still to this day play Gouden Leeuw since she came out!
You really know how to Airstrike!! :)
Great game! Hey man, did you improve the rating of USS Montana? 😇
Great video
As a dutch person i find it funny to hear the dutch commander comms in game
Everyone always talks about the airstrike, but when I played this ship, I was surprised how good the guns are! It just melts the enemies.
They supposedly buffed the guns in beta. People focus too much on what the airstrike can do to a ship to forget that 15 second base reload speed on 9 283mm guns sounds pretty damn tasty.
A HE Spammer that gets fires from most salvos and has an 'airstrike' gimmick that is pretty much guaranteed to cause fires.....
Of course you'll 'do well'.
;-)
Oh cool! A Dutch ship being really powerful (provided you play a little different than usual)? That's nice. I'm Dutch myself but generally use Japanese ships myself (loving the T8 Atago atm). I'll have to remember the "Golden Lion" if I ever start playing T10. Although I'll likely go with a T10 Japanese cruiser (unless they suck). 😉
Zao is very strong.
@@skyeangelofdeath7363 Thanks! I'll take a look at that one then! 🙂
EDIT: Hmmm, I've checked the forums and they claim that Zao is a piece of crap that only received a 2k health buff back in 2021 but still doesn't hold a candle to something like the Valencia. 😕
Me too my fav tier X cruiser so relaxing too play and she can be so powerful if played right.
Nice video, one question though, is the description supposed to look like that? With double links and all?
GL is a very good bote, it's tanky bow on, he and ap both hurt, and the airstrikes are quick and work, visibility and AA are also good. BUT under 10k from opponents and the lack of Torps counts against you, it's basically a Dutch Petro with airstrikes.
I have a screen shot of a dev strike on a Des Moines at 18K+. Folks that don't respect the GL and sail broadside to a ship with BB guns, oh well. Thanks for your time in making these videos. I've learned A LOT from you. Thanks again. (aka Lord_Bel_Mar)
My takeaway is that the ship can get clapped if you’re not careful but can deal out damage as well so it’s a trade off
I want to see your reaction when you realize that fire damage was actually nearly 30% more than HE shells damage, and it was more than the entire main battery damage.
This ship is soo great at setting perma fires by spacing the timing from guns/planes..
How do you get the numbers underneath the crosshairs?
Noice, the golden lion
How is your progress on improving those ships? How many did you attempt so far, how many improved enough, how many left?
I didn't count how many I had when I started, I would just say a lot. Currently around 40 ships left in green. Most of them BBs because BBs suffer from RNG the most, its a nightmare to try and improve some of them
Have some diehard fans of this ship among my friends and I understand why when I see them play it (or see a battle like this one). The ship just works.
It's fun to see a Master ply his trade.
Flambass, the ship is so good now because they added depth charges. Simple as that
play this ship every time brawls and ranked are T10. planes punish island campers and the AP shells punish squishy BBs
Well... It helps that you're staying concealed.. Quite a lot. So they don't even know to shoot at u.. Also when u ARE visible, you're kinda getting lucky that they don't all turn their attention on u.
''Old Man incoming!''
It has a ice breaker at the front, sadly it gets smashed kitting away. The AP is very strong the HE is weak but the fire chance is insane. It is hard to play in open water and very map reliant. Ie OCEAN map would be a disaster for it. I do agree without the fires and the bombs it's below average. I guess you could play open map until you get smacked then use islands and the ice breaker for the rest of the game.
Why doesn't my UI look like that with the stuff on the side and health bars? Someone help please.
WG's "funny" joke in some recent stream of deleting the subs... They know full well, things go to shit, and they don't care because the spice still flows.
They're quite like House Harkonnen I think
It's a fierce lion, never a piece of junk! Trenlass kinda likes the ship iirc and he's right
Simple - you stopped feeling sorry for yourself playing it and that made you "not a potato" :D Still, quite a few indecision moments during this game that left damage and kills on the table :P
Sometimes its like that.
Sometimes a ship in which I normally perform very well in just doesnt work anymore for some reason.
Its like someone flipped a switch.
And if I play a new ship while that switch is in the you "are a potato" position I will form a negative opinion of that ship even though its actually a really good one.
Nice
Nema sta jako jako si dobar igrac. ali moras priznat da si imao i neke srece u ovoj partiji.Napominjem da si jako jako dobar ali ovaj put kako sam kazes malo je igra radila i za tebe.Pozz iz Pule.. GG
That's nonsense.
maybe it's about time to try Montana? :D :D :D
I’ve seen many people rock out in that ship
Half of them kills were your planes finishing off ships that the other battleships around you had weakened to the point of death. When you had to come up against a battleship by yourself you saw how weak your cruiser really was because you almost died and the battleship was already at half health when you started going 1v1.
All the other kills, for the most part was you leaching kills from the battleships who were doing the heavy lifting, most of your hits were HE and setting fires or your OP planes bombing.
nah mate the smash he took was from the Slava too - he would have had a lot more HP if not for that. Also the Hannover has 2x as much HP to start with, so a Hannover on half HP still has more HP than him on full )and he only had 39k)
ASW gave you practice with the planes I'm guessing.
21 fires.....dayum.
in short burst situation that ship can do 14km secondary.
“What’s the most annoying part of the game? Its rotten, greedy, corrupt developers.”
when are you going to improve your monty stats?
maybe you can feel the same way for Montana? suppose not
the depth charges just make no sense it launches airstrikes but still gets depth charges same as the hindy having them
The "Golden Shower" it actually good!
your luck was in the fire chance, i normally get 1/4th of the number of fires
This doesn't look like cruiser dispersion is it bc?
It was all that practice with the Tromp, I think you played that a bunch and this is just a bigger version.
Golden Cheetah
Dude, what is that fire RnG??
Just got this ship and it's great! Johan de Witt was very very bad and terrible. Grinding de Witt almost made me quit Wows. :)
the original grind with Colorado was worse, no boosters
I got Witt for 2,000 gold 😂😂
Maybe all the ASW "gameplay" has trained you on how to delete people with the dutch gimmick strikes. It's possible. xD
How. HOW!! How is your accuracy so.... good? He fired a total of 312 shot and landed 156, good for a 50% hit rate with basically every volley at 12+ km. I'm a cruiser main and I constantly get BB levels of dispersion out of my cruisers. I keep track of my shots fired/landed and it's uncommon for me to get more than a 30-35% hit rate. Most games I struggle to crack 75k damage due to constant piss-poor dispersion.
I have a theory though. The in-game Karma system. I think it has some sort of AR like effect on MM, RNG and dispersion. Ever since the end of the Puerto Rico 2.0 dockyard, I've been having a real rough time and have lost 2/3's of my Karma and currently sitting with a Karma in the single digits.
Very underated ship I've done some realy impressive damage in this ship.
Epic yamato as usual been out of the game for nearly a year and those bbs.....
In a world with so many stupid decisions by Wargaming (magic radar, subs, CVs, HE spammers, etc) the airdrops by these Dutch ships are in a league of their own.
AP is awesome, in a loss game I charged in (yolo) on a Shikashima and shot 13 citadels on him under the turret killing him. The guy thought I was cheating... 🙂🙂
I think in comparison to the noobies or with less thinking playing average players you would make every ship count. Even the all mighty Monty 😂
*_DAEM SHAEM_*
Well u were always wrong, it was always a solid ship and one of the best cruisers at tier 10
Come on Flambass...tell us what you really think LMFAO!
WHat is going on how is this ship so good sets 21 fires lol
like from me just for the comment about rotten WG
its gouden leeuw of your disrespect =0
OK but the Gouden Leeuw is just "Golden Rule" in Japanese.
dude ..not this ship its god..your RNG its surprisingly extrem god.....
Remember, every normal ship can do great if there re no griefer classes in the match...
No CV no SS??
What is this? 2016?
You basically one-shotted a Stalingrad. With just an airstrike. 😐
You know anything with planes will eventually be op in wg hell.
wtf :P
Maybe you have finally started to play is how it is supposed to be.
...Requests 3 kills and 300k
...Receives a /casual/ 6 kill, eleventy fire, >200k match
...
...Conway must still have you bugged!
It's "so powerful" because "you" are playing it. I suck with it. My favorite Cruiser? Ragnar! lol
Actually I do OK with Dutch cruisers but my OK in cruisers still sucks lol.
Ragnar Rocks though!
because you have Islands to hide behind, a team that got focused on not you and no Carrier / Subs
1:23 this is why I quit playing this game. I have missed some parts of playing wows, but WG is behaving like Blizzard did under Bobby Kotick and Disney under Bob Iger. I have rejected all these companies and will pay no dime or dollar for their products. # - really cancelled.
Now play monty
