I have Azuma, it is quite fun. But this video makes me wonder, will Wargaming implement the reject 3x2 356mm gun version of this ship? I think it would give it a similar play style to Siegfried.
"Recreate ships with historical accuracy" Yeah okay there bub, meanwhile some battleships have super accuracy and others can't hit the broadside of an island for no reason.
Exactly would have imagine if she make it to the war and she can fight toe to toe with the Allied ships even to there Battleships, because of her great armor.
Have done it for shit and giggles. It has awesome DMG(like no other secondary battery stands even close) output but flar arcs and poor firing angles prevent them from being actually useful. Had they had a reasonable range(and accuracy since AI gunners are expensive in a shells per casualtie basis) they would be a really nice ship to chase DDs and CA/CL.
WW2 Japanese: Let's weaken our enemy in the cover of the night! British and American navy: Laugh in radar. TBH, Italians tryed the same, and where are their ships now.
In the early part of the war, it worked perfectly to japanese navy. There were victorious night attack against US ships, but then morning come, and expecting US carrier based planes they retreated before strike the supply ships, bad for the japanese, there were no USN carrier nearby, so they could finish what they started.
If Wargaming had some plans with Avatar the Last Airbender teams, it would've been cool to have the Fire Nation Empire Class Ship be put in the game as a premium ship that everybody could use. And perhaps even naming, and panting some of the warships with Avatar names, and skins! Like the Yamato can become the Ozai, the Azuma can be Azula, Zuko can be any powerful Japanese Cruiser. And the other characters I don't know lol
For me it's Yoshino. That 30mm deck is still valuable and those torps can cause some surprising devastation and be invaluable in brawls/cyclones. Asuma still gets the benefits of being T9 though, but in that case I'd rather take one of the other super cruisers...
@@V-V1875-h 3 twin 14 inch guns wouldn't get any decent sales figures at t9 where there is an option that has albeit smaller guns but more of them, what would you pick more guns of a smaller calibre or less guns of slightly bigger calibre?
@@admiralateran2135 you make a valid point, but Sieg actually had decent armour and albeit only slightly bigger guns they are still bigger, personally I'd rather pick up a ship with 3 more guns that are only a few inches smaller, more shells greater chance of hitting the target. At the end of the day t8 or t9 would both work that's why I said maybe t8, but as we already have a t9 and t10 variant who would want another of the same ship at the same tier but with less guns, I was thinking of a way to make it more spread out amongst the tiers. 🙂
Depends on weather: in clear weather Japaneese B-65 would've won due to powerful HE, making unarmored bow and stern of Alaska to flood even due to near-misses and break apart if Japaneese 310mm HE hit directly. Also unarmored USN superstructures, rangefinders and radars would suffer due to the same 310mm HE reason. USN HE were not as powerful, so their only hope would've been penetrating B-65 deck by USN superheavy AP shells and either taking out mashinery, either detonating the ammunition. While at night or in bad weather, Alaska would've won due to much better radar, which would allow to land shells at B-65, receiving almost nothing in return as Japaneese radars were kinda trash compared to USN ones
@@lexmaximaguy8788 Yoshino also gets some extra range on the guns and shorter reload. And 30 mm midship plating that doesn't really improve citadel protection but makes 406s less likely to do fullpens at least.
Yes, you can counter Alaska easily if you angle, the best part of the ship is the 30° angle where you can use all 3 turrents and bounce incoming shells.
@@lost4356 no, Alaska cannot citadel Azuma while shooting from the stern, where can use the 3 turrents at a really sharp angle, yu meang people who use Azuma for shoot frrom a bow position, is the worse you can do.
Very nice overview... Very engaging. Fabulous graphics. At 3:18 the illustration shows the rudder. To my way of seeing things, Japanese designers erred by making it too small, and only one versus dual. With a large vessel you need something to push against the water if you want to turn rapidly. Any ship that's destined for combat needs every maneuvering advantage it can get.
You mean previously german pre-dreadnought ships, which are worse than the Tier 2 Mikasa? As Turkish navy never had Dreadnought ships as far as I know.. Oh, sorry, they ordered 2 British dreadnought, but never got it and one of those was a ship ordered originally by Brazil..
This ship and Yoshino have ridiculous low health pools in comparison to other ships of the type, not to even mention the super low armor and reduced weight AP ammuniton.
please fix armour i bought her because im from azur lane and love ijn. but the armour get penetrated by even tier 8 light cruisers. because its only 25 mm.. i whould love to play one of my waifus and not get constantly in Conflict with teammates for camping to stay alive and support.

no...and I don`t think I will.
She had HUGE armament if Azur Lane is accurate.
not armament, but *armour* , remember Yuro words when reviewing Yoshino…
Azuma has weak armor cause she made out of anime girl tiddy
@@asa0046 Yep, oppai isnt best armor
@@V-V1875-h unfortunately oppai doesn't equally to armour
She's got bigguns
If I ever visit the studio, then I'm gonna give a bottle of vodka to the art-department. The true heroes.
In the game :
Floating citadel
In real life :
Can witstand KG's of TNT and 1000KG bombs.
alrighty then
@Based Newell Notice how no one has liked your comment? There's a reason for that.
Azuma is the F2P Alaska, that's why
@@FullyCharged22 nobody replied to this comment with the name "Based newell"
@@plutoidrepublic2765 They deleted their comment.
@@FullyCharged22 well why, what did it say
Next Episode: Dry Dock: Izumo.
Narrator: It have a superstructure looks like a dick, weird hull, and turret set up like Takao-class cruisers.
Tone*
Just something closer look than a Takeo
They have oddly smooth superstructure that strangely looks like a double shaft dragon dildo
@@clemson9967 and much bigger while looking worse than the nelson
She's got Oath skin
Shikikan of culture
If you want Azuma, get the Yoshino Is just better and even more true to the B65 project because she includes the torps
Or just buy Azuma because not everyone has 250k coal for yoshino
Or slowly grind for it, and use the coupon As long as you have patience, you can get it quite easily
@@frankvc5899 or get some other awsome coal ships like Thunderer or Georgia and get Azuma with Free Exp that is easier to grind than coal
@@yesmadx you're better of getting alaska for fxp, yoshino is outright better if you want azuma
Fernando Marques or just use money
Finally pronounced "Yamato" more accurately😉
This game is not just about ships it have history too and trivias about ship
Still all about ships.
@@Spookie127806 yeah but its still
historic (not all)
Correct sir. 👍👍
The most immersive thing in the game is how these ship is so expensive
Imagine you're manning the AA stations and then the triple gun fires
"Recreate ships with historical accuracy" Yeah okay there bub, meanwhile some battleships have super accuracy and others can't hit the broadside of an island for no reason.
Slava is just the russian codeword for the death star.
They mean in game model, not gameplay
Just get good
I think you meant to say 'continent'
Scharnhorst holds the record(someting above 20km) for artillery on a moving target, its like a rusty shotgun in game.
Ya'll remember Belfast and her in the loading screen?
I'm obsessed with weapons! This is the treasure that I want the most!
Azuma in WG: damn hes thick
Azuma in AL: dam boi shes thicc
Exactly would have imagine if she make it to the war and she can fight toe to toe with the Allied ships even to there Battleships, because of her great armor.
"Built to withstand 305mm shells"
Then why do i wreck it with DesMo easily?
Cause the game is different to real life lol
*BURNING WOOD SOUNDS INTENSIFIES*
Built to withstand 305mm shells [at realistic engagement distances]
Game compression
It does withstand 305mm shell, not for a long time, nor to getting burn.
This ship needs a concealment and a rudder shift buff.
this ship need upgrade!
I like the way it is. But a buff would be nice.
maybe turning circle buff would be good enough.
just Buff that thing and her big sister too
Would like to see Azuma with 356mm guns
KEKW
This a large cruiser. Brotha
やっぱ日本艦艇最高ーーー

Accurately? If that were true the ship would have armor proof against anything 8-inch or smaller.
This kind of material is why I keep playing the game and loving it no matter what

The way the narator said "Yamato" is... intresting
Yamata.
dafuk is that ship?

It will be nice to actually have some balance in the game to enjoy this kind of ships
The only thing I hate is that damn stern that looks like a bow.
Hey, couldn't we get that version with the 356mm twin turrets
Impresionante, increíble recreación de Ingeniería Naval. Muchas Gracias.
It's fake ship that never existed or was fully designed
3:04-3:10 now I'd say its pretty likely we'll get this design version sometime maybe at T8.

@@stbg1719 you say that but what ship is better, Agir or Siegfried, less guns would surely have higher accuracy just like in the case of those 2 ships

Is it the same class as Yoshino?
Yes.

Something between a heavy cruiser and a battleship eh? Hmm I wonder what kind of ship that would be......
Pocket battleship!!!
Would be interesting seeing a video on D or P Class German heavy cruisers of 1047 Dutch counterpart.

When will the subs come to the game

This ship and Yoshino have ridiculous low health pools in comparison to other ships of the type, not to even mention the super low armor and reduced weight AP ammuniton.
It's a tX Kongo
And has harugumo secondaries
Tier-9.
And you putted this ship at tier VII in legends... sometimes I don't understand wargaming logic
Azuma realese frist in the war or warship blizt but in PC why now out this ship ?
Is there hms Prince of Wales in the game it my favourite ship
Wow a Japanese fast Battlecruiser, would have imgine if this type of warship could have been participated in the Pacific War.
The 310mm main guns look like they have been squished
Armanda Massachusetts please

this thing get set on fire every time -_-
a DD can penetrate this thing with HE
