I straight up bought Atago, never bothered with the meme ship not even back then. Atago and Tirpitz... almost no one had grinded to tier 8 so you were pretty likely to see just those two ships in a battle for quite some time. I miss the closed beta game, wish WeGreedy would just give us a 'classical' server without all the 'additions' since then. @@jefftuckercfii
I really love how I have no idea what you where saying about Salem because I had been full focus on the chat with Stalingrad and then you're just making a smooth transition to... the Stalingrad xD
The Tulsa is honestly a pretty great ship. Its basically a Baltimore with better AA and Des Moines reload, but less guns, and has access to the Tier IX Modules. Its greatest failing is constantly getting uptiered into X and Super matches. When it gets stuck into a proper Tier IX match it aquits itself very well
"11 citadels? Impossible" Well that can happen if you keep showing flat broadside to a Salem/Des moines I really can't help but notice that moskva/stalingrad players somehow always have to show flat broadside to everyone, than act shock when they get clapped. It's almost as predictable as a German bb player that always has to push instantly, than act shock when they get pummeled.
Lmao at the Stalingrad in the Salem video... Should send them the video. You can see half your shells hit the island, the other shells get 11 cids haha, why sail broadside like that and cry 😅
As I might be among the first people to use that description, it truly warms my heart to hear you say "a destroyer with a citadel". I do not have the San Diego, but I had so much fun playing the Atlanta (2.2 million xp) that I will probably get it, evemtually. If you like the play style of ridiculous numbers of fast firing guns that sweep aircraft from the skies, the Pan-Asian cruisers, from tier VI, all fit that bill.
I love that stalingrad player. they are gem of this game. everytime i saw one of this kind i always have amazing fun through their ignorance.One of the games in mine , a neptune says he doesnt believe going broadside effect anything because everything is rng and whatever you do its up to your luck so i showed him my musashi guns are very lucky indeed.
The Premium tier 8 Spanish heavy Cruiser Numancia is a a pretty Solid Cruiser for many reasons, although despite only has 7 guns in total, They are 203mm guns with a 3 salvo Burst Fire that does an additional 25% more damage with AP shells. her Concealment is amazing at 8.4km with a full build and Aircraft have to be inside 5.2km to spot you. She gets 4 Racks of triple torpedo tubes, two per side with an 8km range although the torpedoes move at a sluggish 59 knots base. While her armor is Fairly Poor being based on the Hull of the Emerald Class Light Cruisers but with a Thicker main belt. You can really get in closer then most Cruisers at tier 8 and not be Spotted by same tier Cruisers light and heavy.
Honestly i was expecting Almirante Grau on this list. Its gund are super comfortable to use and if it stays dark for 50 secs it gets a 30 second austin lvl reload booster. While its dpm is not as high as Austin. Its definitely insane. Not to mention better armor. The lack of a heal is a mitigating factor, but still extremely dangerous.
I'm a little surprised the Graf Zeppelin didn't make an appearance. I question the choice of the Salem, because it's a slightly different Des Moines. Which is (of course) a completely free tech line ship.
Still believe you need an honorable mentions, maybe 3 that not quite made your grade, before your number 1. Love my ATAGO, especially in Operations and Ranked. BTW, where would you place HMS LONDON ? Can't argue with smoke, torps, hydro, AND a repair/heal at T6.
Shout-out to my VIII Rochester. When other US cruisers look for islands to hug, Rochester gets out her inflatable waifu and just sits wherever. Or runs away. No radar, but hydro, DFAA and smoke combined with the heavy US shells and decent AA make for a not extraordinary but fun and safe cruiser. Surprisingly effective when uptiered as well, especially when you start combining the smoke waifu with an island waifu.
TBH I am surprised you added the Sandiego over the Austin. I feel like Sandiego needs either more charges of reload booster or longer action time to even be close to Austin tier for tier.
Sep nap has to watch out for radar cruiser especially Soviet ships with 12 km radar . Then there the sub that can go 30 knots and keep your tail detected
I wish wg will make a t9 san diego, that is basicaly a "what if" americans actualy mounted more guns on a san diego. So like a san diego, but with 1 extra turret per side, at the cost of torpedoes.
It didn't. The list is in count UP order: 1:21 5. Salem/Des Moines 5:05 4. Stalingrad 8:40 3. Atago 12:16 2. San Diego 15:35 1. Napoli Salem is #5, Stali is #4.
@@LoanwordEggcornI wasn´t talking about the Salem, but about the San Diego. The SD placed #2 and the Stalingrad #4. But that´s ok, it´s his list. I wouldn´t have placed the SD above the Stalingrad on my list. Like I said, it´s all subjective.
@@TheBigGiant_SpaceChiken Sorry mate, misread your comment. San Diego is an excellent damage farmer, and I've sunk BBs with its gun booster. I find SAP very easy to use and gets consistent damage. Don't have Stali yet, so can't comment on it, but seems like a solid ship in many ways (other than the usual cruiser armor).
@@LoanwordEggcornno worries my friend. Yes, the SD is an excellent damage dealer, but you have to be a good player (which I´m sure you are) in order to do well in that ship, since it´s so squishy. The reason I would put the Stalingrad over the SD is because I have either one or two shotted SDs in my Stalingrad more than a few times. Whereas the Stalingrad can be more forgiving since it´s tankier than most cruisers. But like I said, to each his own, it´s all a matter of preference. Cheers!
How can you have Stalin but not know that american ships are islandfarmers? And wtf havin stalin and not knowing its broadside you have to grind very long for it and given its popularity you see them quite often so you see their broadside occasionally and see that its very vulnerable. And for my List definetely mainz instead of Atago and for San Diego idk this ship just have fought against it didnt seem that well but if you say so it propably is very strong. Azuma/Yoshino are also relitivly strong, better than atago i think, atago just lacks dpm Mogami is better i think.
It has a super low freeboard, so its actually harder to hit hard. It just doesnt have any other gimmick other then the heal. But its good, not powercrept at all.
That Stalingrad was not happy with the Salem cheater! lol
And then turns around and ranks the Stalingrad higher than the Salem. 😆Happens when a bad player also gets full broad to that AP.
@@VidVoyager4559 I found that ironic too. It's not the ship, it's the player.
You shoot through islands! are you a magician!?
lmao
@@paddington1670 I d
criticizes Sea lord: then gets absollutelly owned by him lol
Love it how the OG Atago keeps making it on these lists...
Shows the early devs knew their own game a lot better as they appear to do right now.
Not only that, it was the 2nd premium ship EVER...rushed out as a replacement for the original Kitakami waaay back in the day.

are you a magician?!lol
lol that russian bias main in the stalingrad . cant stop laughing
I was too busy reading chat, I didn't listen to anything SLM was saying about the Salem lmao
Imagine owning a Stalingrad and not understanding how terrain works.
Napoli is so damn good that she's often banned from Clan battles. And for good reason. This is definitely one ship worth getting.
I really love how I have no idea what you where saying about Salem because I had been full focus on the chat with Stalingrad and then you're just making a smooth transition to... the Stalingrad xD
Really appreciate your “best of” videos Sea Lord. I use them to guide most of my premium purchases. Keep them coming please.
I have both the Atago and the Napoli. Both are fun. Got both of them because you recommended them, Sea Lord :) No regrets.
Mainz should be on this list
Mainz CE is my go-to ship to achieve most objectives. Play and get paid.
The Tulsa is honestly a pretty great ship. Its basically a Baltimore with better AA and Des Moines reload, but less guns, and has access to the Tier IX Modules. Its greatest failing is constantly getting uptiered into X and Super matches. When it gets stuck into a proper Tier IX match it aquits itself very well
Tulsa has no DPM and 3x2 turrets with DM dispersion is very trolly. And T9 cruisers in general get often bullied by T10/supersbullships
"11 citadels? Impossible"
Well that can happen if you keep showing flat broadside to a Salem/Des moines

It's like they think they have the same citadel as the petro when that really isn't the case.
And even petro can eat cits, not often but its possible
Lmao at the Stalingrad in the Salem video... Should send them the video. You can see half your shells hit the island, the other shells get 11 cids haha, why sail broadside like that and cry 😅

To Each His Own, SLM. Personally, I prefer Stali. Omitted from your list, but plenty of fun...Brisbane. Have a great day/week, Y'all
That Stalin gave me an idea for new video serie. Players worst outburst when they them self are just bad players... top ten of the month or something.
the guy in a FREAKING Stalingrad complaining in chat made my day xD
0:52 Kleber is a top 5 light cruiser :)
love prinz eugen , its like a mini tirpitz
Mainz is a mini Hindenburg

One thing people often forget about the san diego is that it has nerfed sap alpha. Its sap shells do as much damage as atlanta’s he shells…
Great as usual!

Would fit in the Agir on the list somewhere, strong coal ship that can punch other ships.
The gal of placing No.1 as second is incredible.
I’m old enough to remember when San Diego was a nerfed Austin nobody wanted.

My top 5 cruisers (mid tier player)
5. Belfast
4. Indianapolis
3. Gorizia
2. Atago
1. Maya
How do you like german tier IX cruiser AIGER??
Funny how over the years with new ships new gimmicks the Des Moines is still S tier.
My personal favorite is the Wichita. Decent all around, 8" guns, 10 second reload, radar, and damn does it print credits.
What do you think about the Austin? Another fun ship.
Fun indeed
Smolensk, Alaska, Belfast
This one has to include Atago !! *edit* oh wow, you did include it !! Atago love !!!
Hey sea lord what are your opinion about graf spee ?
So I should get the Salem since I’ve been looking at coal ships lately.
I have Atago and San Diego. I want Salem. Love my cruisers!
Rip. I have all 5 and spam them like there's no tomorrow. Even got SD from one of them containers.
thanks for the info
Is this Tesla_S? We just gamed, you mentioned a RUclips channel? Was the Bismark :)
I was so excited to get the Napoli but mine only has 5k secondaries? I try to build into them but got nowhere near 11k. What am I missing?
Modules and commander skills
Pre watch guesses:
Napoli
Mainz
Stalingrad
Atago
Yoshino
Hmm, 3/5 and I was considering putting Salem on the list at first.
I was really expecting the Mainz too.
Yoshino💀
I was wondering when the atago would show up
Edit: SANDY❤❤❤❤
2nd edit: NAPOLI❤❤❤❤❤
do wish the black Friday ship cough cough Alaska was in there but i get the idea of wanting a non event list lol
😂 Takao and Atlanta 😎✌️😁
I have 77 ships so far, including Napoli and I still love Atago best
can anyone explain to me what‘s going on with the wiesbaden? I thought it hasn‘t been released yet but just saw a guy fielding her in my last match…
Add schill at the 4-5 slot
What happened with the Alaska, forgot it?
Probably because you can’t get it no more
Isn’t available for purchase anymore
Is the German Tier VIII cruiser Mainz no longer available?
i see it in premium shop so probably also in armory
It's being sold for 11,300 doubloons.
Should be in the list then IMO
@@ArterialCanine It really only has good dpm that's it the hull is paper made and its slow. Bayard is just the better Tier8 Cruiser.
Yeah m8 just putting here out there as a choice over San Diego. SAN Diego has a very high skill floor. I also love my Bayard.
Dakka isn't "darka", the a is like the A in "at" or "flak"
hey! that's me at the 35-second mark asking if it's the real you.... I guess it was.
Guy in the comments calling you a cheater is a highlight of this video lmao.
Me watching the beef in chat while he talks about Salem:👀
you can visit the salem in quick mass and marvel at the real life
I don't like Napoli, can't play but Venezia is great. I think that problem is ME :)
napoli and atago the real definition of cockroach ship in rank mode.....😂😂😂
How was the Alaska not on this list? Like for real.
