One of the most powerful ships in the game, especially with this build and the current meta, and almost no one plays her. Reminds me of Omaha, one of the most powerful ships at her tier and very few people play her because most people's first impression is "it died in the first 3 minutes of the match so it must be bad" not understanding at all how to play a cruiser. I love Worcester. She does it all, dpm, decent range, dd hunting, burning down bbs, utility, no armor best armor broadside while still somehow having a 32mm bow to tank up to 16in guns, good speed, maneuverability, and AA. About the only thing I can fault here on is her floaty shells but it helps her lob islands and I guess no torpedoes but she doesn't really need them. And, for some reason, people at legendary just love their Yamatos and Shimakazes so much.
OMG, as a New Englander It makes me proud to hear the name Worcester pronounced correctly, most that aren’t from around here say it as (War-chest-ur) when it’s actually pronounced (Wuss-tur). P.S the ship in the game is named after Worcester, MA!!!
Hipper, I'm looking through your videos and maybe I'm blind but...any chance you've done an Agile Build video on the French Premium Cruiser De Grasse? If not and you have the boat I would, as a new fan, LOVE to see it. Just putting that out there brother. No pressure. TY
Buffalo is a absolute menace when it comes to raw damge out put, probarly strongest tier 8 cruiser right now. 12x 203mm heavy AP with a 7.6s reload speed, good firing angles, rudder shift is pretty bad, don’t build it for concealment. Not a agile cruiser, but that still doesn’t mean that you wouldn’t be able to push caps with it. Abuse that heavy ap and delete those who don’t respect your firepower
I agree the tier 8 cruisers aren’t worth the sliver. I might get the agir just for my collection. Only thing I’d pay for without hesitation is a Hipper B! C’mon WG Hipper B!!
Nah, yamato is the most played ship in legendary tier and it is accurate and overmatches the worcerster everywhere. Republique also kills this one quickly. Its not OP, because the radar is far weaker than minotaurs. Minotaur also has 16 torps, this one not a single one. Firing arcs are also not great. But yes, its a beginners ship and its boring. The only Battleship I play at legendary tier is Conqueror with fighting fire with fire. I am not scared by this one at all.
Still no reason for Woostah not to have its PC form 25mm Bow & Stern, here. 32mm ‘Light Cruisers’ are ridiculous, and only appear in Legends - for reasons never explained by our Devs… 🤔
@@AlekTrev006 It did not perform very well so the dmg output was buffed. The wargaming statistics may tell you that the 32 mm bow is not a gamechanger. Do you see many players making use of the bow sitting in open water and making BB shells bounce? It's also an arcade game. The bow armour makes no sense at all regarding real life physics.
@@cmdrcipher1886 lol, yeah, in reality this thing's bow could be pened by 5in guns, depending on the range and angle, much less 16 or god help her 18in guns. To put it into perspective how powerful battleship guns actually were, for anyone who may not know, at point blank range 16in test guns easily penetrated 26in of Yamato-class turret face armor. What does WG think would happen when battleship shells meet "armor" a little over an inch thick fired from a few km away? 32mm = 1.26in. That's like shooting a 308 at a beer can and expecting to ricochet because the can is round. No, the momentum of the shell is just going to smash right through almost without resistance. irl a single battleship grade shell that connects could cripple or even sink a light cruiser, especially fired into her bow-on which would maximize the damage/amount of ship the shell smashed through lengthwise before detonating. But yeah, arcade game that makes no sense done to "balance" ships, or something, lol.
I promise you she is NOT impossible to citadel. I speak from experience. But Mino gets tops AND smoke to hide in. Worcester is dead if caught in the open. Mino just pops smoke and wipes any ship with AP spam. To me the Mino is exponentially more OP than Worcester. ALL SHE HAS is HE.
Harder to play than the Mino. No torps. Respectfully disagree. You said this about the Ochachov. As new ships come along it changes the play of others. Your last video you sat behind an island at A cap using radar. If you were in the Worcester what would’ve been the difference. You wouldn’t have had torps to rush the mino. Hmmm
I accept my defeat 🤣🤣🤣 Thank you showing me how a Master jabs. Thank you for the lesson. Definitely had me laughing, awesome stuff as usual. 👍😊❤️

Have you tried playing Sejong? It's a pretty unique ship which is an incredible damage printer
I don't think it's his playstyle 🙃
@@user-jz5ru8mr4p
Can we get an Agile Baltimore next? Hehehe
AGILE ALASKA
"anyone who plays this ship has no self respect" ...that's a strong sentiment to share.

No, its not really that agile to be honest
@@VIIHIPPER All good man. Appreciate your videos and still a fan. See you on the seas!
Hey HIpper, I was in the Stalingrade you rammed yesterday homie. You lucky boy!
Haha! GG mate
I think I'm Gonna be Sick 🤢
Tell us you got boar hogged by a Warchester without saying you got boar hogged by Warchester .

So in your opinion, what is the best US cruiser at legendary? Imo it’s Des Moines for sure
Yes DM

What we need is the Slava, the Kremlin, and the pretropavilosk
Silly is the correct word for it. It's just a noob potato ship.
How is this ship garbage, but the Mino is good? What are the significant differences between them? To me they are basically one and the same.
This is a HE spamming machine with 32mm armor that is impossible to citadel. Its a ridiculous ship.

I Dont totally agree with the woooooostir hate however the new German ship comeing to me is so redundant
A cancer you must be talking about shimakaze
Wait a min all American ca's suck ..as a proud American i take Umbridge.with that sir
Yawn…. A Mino player whining about an Worcester.. Apparently all the AP spamming on poor BBs in the same fashion is so much different…. Lol
Exactly 💯
AP spamming? Ok. At least AP spamming only works in people who are dumb enough to be broadside - and you dont get fires.
Go play another game.
