Soviet Cruiser 'Chapayev' Review - World of Warships Blitz

I've had this ship for ages in my personal account, but never got around to playing it, since I was still doing the battle honours on the Shchors, which was an excellent light cruiser at tier 7 - so let's see how she holds up at tier 8.

Thanks for the reminder. I got the black Chappy quite a while ago & forgot her while going ship lines. She is indeed fun & is quite effective for fire starting missions.

Excellent review .. Chappy is one of my all time favorites.

[angc]

Chappy is one of my favorite ships. With Soviet cruisers I go for double steering because the rudders suck. I remember when I first got a tier 7 or 8 ship the enemy Chapayevs were nightmares raining fire and brimstone down on me.

'Stop being afraid!' Terry, you are being extremely polite 😁

And thats why I enjoy watching your videos. 😊👍

Regarding the domination mode:

I prefer domination mode too. Whether it was in world in conflict, world of tanks blitz, or wows blitz that is my most preferred mode. I really really wish that wg also put the mode filter button in the wows blitz which is by the way readily available there in the world of tanks blitz, that enables players to filter out game modes that they do not like to play at all.

Well, Imagine The 2 bismarcks sacrificing themselves dumbly to that Enemy Benson In under 2 mins of battles

This is basically a tier 8 schors love them both and the Kutuzov as well Soviet tier 7-8 light cruiser is the best and fun way to spam fires 🔥

Chappy is great fun! I have the Halloween camo and probably going to keep her. Love roasting some BBs and having a party otherwise

That first map. Every time I play it I get high anxiety! It’s probably the best map but it seems like no one gets how to plays it.

I had just bought it recently, but I'm still using Schors for grinding Talinn's exp first. Since I just got back to the game, I don't have another capt to use for Petro LOL I'll wait for the January patch first if there'll be buffs to Petro line. Resetting capts is too expensive.

I really love CLs. I'm currently enjoying BBQing enemies, and I like it more than Worcester line due to slow shell arcs (currently in Cleveland), but I get similar DPGs since they play a bit differently just because of their guns.

I just wanted to know how she performs as a Firestarter, post fire 🔥 chances reduction in previous game update. I also wanted to know if her extremely tight shell grouping has been reduced at all since then as well.

I played through Schors. Great ship and amazing fire starter. I got 22 fires once on her. Just got Chappi, let's see how good she is

I am still playing the Chapayev, and I loved this ship. I am sad that I will have to sell it to get the Donskoi. Although sometimes I struggle to get fires started, and then after like my 10th salvo, I start getting a fire. Other games, my first salvo I get a fire. But when it comes to DD hunting, I do get German CL vibes, where the AP is just murderous. I did also see that the artillery seems to be glitching, similar to PC where you shoot at a ship and the shells land short. I think it was one of the salvoes against the West Virginia.

Hey Terry. I'm looking to start a new destroyer line grind. I was curious to know if u had a branch you'd suggest?

[Redgamingdino]

Terry in the beginning I know the feeling as a dd player of seeing bismarcks go the long way. There is this meme in the community where players flank in Vermont. We call someone flanking, their practice for flanking in a Vermont. Potato’s gonna potate

[matthiaswcz]

Guns are nice but man does the maneuverability suck, for a ship this squishy

[jasonjiao]

She can easily get deleted by Izumo if not careful
