World of Warships - Quick Cut: Tier IX Premium American Battleship USS Kearsarge

Tier IX Premium American hybrid battleship Kearsarge is a strange boat. She has a LOT of North Carolina guns on a slightly longer reload, married to the occasional rocket plane squadron that mounts Tiny Tims. Her two armament systems combined make her pretty effective against opposing heavy cruisers and battleships, but much less so against enemy destroyers. This game on Crash Zone Alpha highlights some of her weaknesses: she is really more of a second-line battleship than a front-line one, and without teammates in front of her she struggles to produce.

In an effort to keep a better flow of content coming, I'm going to pretty up some of my more interesting Twitch games from a given week and share them on the channel. These are much faster to produce than my normal stuff, but are a little less polished.

Nice video. The only purchase I made over the holiday was Kearsarge with a 25% coupons and doubloons from Santa mega containers. The ship doesn't play well in coop for me. I get one or 2 plane launches before game ends. I has observed teammates do really well in this ship (when I am on a winning team). I think WG needs to buff the reload time for all hybrids. Ise is fun in ops. I am waiting for superhybrid BB with jets.

38K out of what I’d consider this Ship’s version of secondaries..
honestly not bad considering normal secondaries can’t spot DDs and strike with impunity..

about starship troopers, the "service guarantees citizenship" concept was in the book as well, the main difference was that in the book there was non-military was to serve. something the director of the movie knew and willingly ignored because he wanted to make the government in the movie look like fascists.

"Pro Tip, this game isn't going on Youtube" LOL

[flfar]

secondarys are good on this! 5 guns 2 barells each wow

[mikewilson]

Heinlein very definitely had as a major them in the Troopers novel the idea that citizenship had to be earned. He was big on limited government and only those who had proven their worth should make decisions for others. He was also a complete capitalist in that he thought a completely open and unregulated market was the ideal. For example, read the Moon is a Harsh Mistress, in which he introduces the concept of TINSTAAFL, which stands for "There is no such thing as a free lunch." Oh, and by the way, he, too, was a graduate of the US Naval Academy and served in the Navy before being invalided out, to his bitter disappointment.

In ancient Roman republic 10 years military service was required to be elected in the Senate. It was kind of prove that one will lay down his life for the republic

[bobbygeorge]

You could become a Rom citizen iv you go to the army.
Varius the germanian guy who defeated the romans was once in the army of Rom.

[mr.skully]

Man i ca t wait to buy this ship
I need 25k coal more

[dennisboulais]

I think this was the worst I've ever seen you play a ship. You started out doubting the value of the ship strenghts and never got into it.
