She’s so good in fact that in irl she had her entire front end blown off up to her B turret! Astonishingly her crew saved her by fastening bamboo and timbers to her broken hull that kept her balanced, and still managed to sail backwards to reach Australia!! Definitely a great to play and a ship with an amazing history!!
What I like about the New Orleans is that it does a good job at giving you a feeling for T8-T10 USN CA's, same with Myoko at her tier for T8-T10 IJN CA's.
@@lonemarkkingoftypos3722 Des Moines has better overall DPM and comparable penangles, I'm not saying that both ships are equal to each other but both have their individual playstyle and Des Moines is far from being irrelevant these days even after being in the game for so many years.
Yorck is my favorite cruiser right now for exactly the same reason. The only Tier VIII in a Tier X team is not at all fun, two games out of three. Yorck is a bit tougher than New Orleans, which works a bit better at my skill level.
Watching the animal potato 3 times in a row was wild, especially with the skip bombers where a player with 2 fingers could CBT you from the edge of your AA range.
Played the New Orleans when it was an 8. I absolutely hated it, of course it was before US 8 Cruisers had Radar. Was my first Cruiser line to reach Tier 10, I wasn't really impressed with any of them after the Cleveland when it was also a 6.
Yeah, the NO and especially Baltimore with its no-radar, slow-ballistic, non-improved-pen-angle, 15 (!) second reload design - on tier 9. That was a rough grind to get to DM.... @_@
Wg should expand the heavy cruiser line of American tech tree, add a 3rd line for ships like new orleans, indianapolis, portland chicago etc. It would be great to have some tech tree usa heavy cruisers instead of only 3 premium ones like congress alaska and puerto rico
Flamu called Heavy AP Shells a juicy skill, but I don't know. He did 116,109k damage with the AP and HAPS would have added 5,806k damage for a grand total of 121,915k damage. But then again, when I manage to get into those prime positions to shoot broadsides, RNG rewards me overpens or complete whiffs. For example, the other day I was playing Ranked, sync dropping with some clan mates playing my Massachusetts and had a Almirante Grau sail out from island cover at 5km, full broadside. I fired both front turrets thinking I had a insanely easy kill, only to have RNG award me with 1 shell hit.
Wg has this issue in wot with the ebr105 wheeled light tank that outclassed every other light at least now if there's a ebr both teams have one but you hope yours isn't trash
@ucup63 I'm mainly a console player, and when I booted up PC WoWs, I was amazed to see that she had 25mm of plating. on console, she has 19mm, which is painful when you shot, but she's still my favorite anyway
Flame this fatshark darktide didnt fix the bugs i posted in the forum for months. Tell them we comin to purge the building cos wg was the least of worries 🎉

did you play og navyfeild before wows?

The AP has higher shell velocity than the Baltimore, Buffalo and Des Moines. The ballistics are very comfy on the New Orleans
What I like about the New Orleans is that it does a good job at giving you a feeling for T8-T10 USN CA's, same with Myoko at her tier for T8-T10 IJN CA's.
Its not the super heavy ap, thats why its faster. You trade alpha and pen for it.
shells are lighter, even at 18km difference is barely 0.5s
@@SAyGOoDByEToOldLIfEi find it funny how the Soviet Tier 10 CA has better ballistics and pen rhan the Des Moines does.

I had trouble with the USN CA line, but this one's easier to play than the others since the citadel is tiny and mostly underwater.
Lately it seems like I get double up tiered in tier 8 way more often than tier 7. So that's helping the New Orleans a lot.
Yorck is my favorite cruiser right now for exactly the same reason. The only Tier VIII in a Tier X team is not at all fun, two games out of three. Yorck is a bit tougher than New Orleans, which works a bit better at my skill level.
T9 also having +2 mm since Supers exist helped T7 mm alot. Its of course not like in the glory days of T7 but still decent.
a true classic! since years in my port and still good to play.
Great vid Flamu, I am grinding the New Orleans atm and enjoying it.
They really need a surface ship only mode. 🤩🤩
Watching the animal potato 3 times in a row was wild, especially with the skip bombers where a player with 2 fingers could CBT you from the edge of your AA range.
I am on the Baltimore atm, very good ship. the 10k surveillance and almost 10k spotting dist is pretty strong, not to mention the OP AA
OP AA? Since when?
@@baly1252 says the AA expert medal i just got
@@Ash-um8er you got a cv player who likes to eat flak. big deal
He doesn't remember the days of Tier 6 Cleveland completely tearing apart Kaga and Shokaku flights every 1.5 minutes. @@baly1252
Currently grinding this line and damn, probably one of the best 203 in T7

Lol the gold ole days. Hop in cleveland and roll a flank. Oh and cv's had limited planes.

@@michealmcneal2259 I fell afoul of that when I used to play CV, before the dreadful rework. Where'd all my planes go..... 1 Cleveland.
@@Snagabott Certainly not a tech tree line I want to reset for research bureau points for sure
Quick question Flamuu: how many matches do you generally go into until one of them is basically semi-enjoyable at the very least?

I would love a Northampton class cruiser at some point.
I love Pensacola, New Orleans, Baltimore, Buffalo and Des Moines. AP is awesome!
Guns are great- accurate, decent range. Playing it without getting blown up almost instantly takes some skill.
A wild Borodino!!!!!!
Buy a lottery ticket, Flamu!
Great game, well played.
You should try the Dallas with IFHE it's kinda funny to mess around with.
Idk every time I see New Orleans it either hides behind island or dies the second it gets spotted, pretty much a British CL 😂

i remember playing that ship before buffs. It was pain to play :D everyone could overmatch you everywhere it was like playing atlanta
The bad part is that they can't do a sub rework cuz they STILL have no idea what they're doing with them.
did you also play Pensacola? I love that ship
i forgot Pensa in T6 can bowtank BB with caliber below 380 mm XDD
@ucup63 I'm mainly a console player, and when I booted up PC WoWs, I was amazed to see that she had 25mm of plating. on console, she has 19mm, which is painful when you shot, but she's still my favorite anyway
People always forget how OP American AP is in mid tier Cruisers...
IJN Heavy cruiser line has destroyer dispersion, more guns and better ballistics, the only downside is that you don't have improved pen angles.
Guys on RUclips do not know what Baltimore ranked experience was like....
Sweet ending

Funny. Flambass rated New Orleans recently as „really bad“ 😁.
i personally dislike this ship as well for its bad rudder and slow turning guns. but then again its certainly not the worst in its tier
He hates most American ships
Oh heyo Flamuu
I have 89.47% winrate with 57 652 dmg average so I think I do a pretty job playing it
Wichita very likely ship
So wargaming should be happy you are not murdering people in Subs !
Na’lens
It's a tier 8 ship at tier 7, it's completely overpowered for the tier.
It was tier 8 some years ago if I'm not mistaken, right?
@@henriqmarques_ Yes they just moved it down one tier when they added the Worcester line
New Orleans > buffalo. Change my mind
Surrey is better.
Enjoy your rigged game!!!!!!
Exactly, just like the old CV's. Good is terrible, terrible is terrible.
Who’s still playing this?
