Analyzing PRs and their WoWs gimmicks - PR1

Very long title for a new kind of post I am going to make. In this smaller series of posts I will look at a PR ship in World of Warships, and then Azur Lane, and try to see if Azur Lane properly portrays their gimmicks or not.

In this first post I will look at PR1 shipgirls, all 6 of them:

HMS Monarch

Starting with my babygirl Monarch, my first ever PR research.

The thing that makes the entire British battleship line stand up from the rest is two-fold: First, from very early tiers, they get an insane fire-starting chane with their high explosive shells (Monarch sits at 35% per shell for 9 shells). This paired with their short-fused AP shells means they are very dangerous to an ample range of ships. Secondly, from Tier 9 upwards, these battleships get a "Specialized Repair Teams" consumable. Normal repair teams heal around 345 HP per second, HMS Lion's repair team heals 1358 HP per second. This is also called a "superheal".

Monarch, sitting at Tier 8, does not get access to this Super Heal. This is very important, as Azur Lane's Monarch does have a skill that mimics a superheal ('Against the Currents+') which heals her 3% of her max HP every 2 seconds for 11 seconds when she falls below 30% HP.

And, ironically, the best way to mimic her absurd High-Explosive performance in WoWs is only possible with Odin's main guns.

My score for Monarch is 4/10: They got a tech tree line gimmick right but it doesn't even apply to Monarch in WoWs, only to her older cousins.

HMS Neptune

Just to finish off the HMS girls in one go, HMS Neptune.

The main features of the British light cruiser line in WoWs are as follows: They can only shoot AP and get no access to HE ammo, they have smoke screen generators (from T9 onwards they can swap it with a radar tho), and are very prone to exploding. Their armor is a joke, from T1 to T11, and no premium British CL is spared from this fate. Well, CAs are the same (which we'll get to in the PR3 post). Their saving grace is their concealment and maneuverability, as their acceleration speed is impressive, meaning they can kite away (run away while playing with your throttle) fairly easily. On top of that, they get access to a heal from very early on (a lot of other cruiser lines have to wait until T8 to get a heal, while the T5 HMS Emerald already has one).

Oh, and their armor piercing shells have what's called "improved penetration angles". This simply means their shells will deal damage to angled enemies, as a compensation for them having only AP ammo.

In Azur Lane, this is perfectly encapsulated with the 'MKV-Class AP Shells' skill (and her FS5 upgraded variant), which makes her AP do more damage. She also gets access to a heal too, in her 'Goddess of the Sea' skill.

Overall, I give Neptune an 8/10. Not a bad representation of her WoWs counterpart.

IJN Ibuki

Ibuki is a fairly straight forward ship, both in AL and WoWs.

In WoWs, Ibuki is a stealthy assassin. Her 10km torpedoes deal a decent 17k damage hit each, having 8 of them per side. In AL, Ibuki feels like a much improved version of Takao and Atago, while not providing anything new in particular.

I have barely played Ibuki in WoWs, so I can't give an appropiate rundown of what makes the Japanese heavy cruiser line unique. Zao, at T10, is the sistership of IJN Unzen (our most recent IJN gacha UR), and is an overall scary ship in good hands; her high explosive deals a lot of damage and has a decent fire chance, and she is a very stealthy ship. The armor piercing of these cruisers is unremarkable from T3 to T10, Ibuki being no exception.

In Azur Lane, she has a skill ('Body and Soul') that augments the crit% and crit dmg% of her torpedoes, and the FS5 evolved version gives her an EVA boost right afterwards.

Overall, I think Ibuki is another solid 8/10.

IJN Izumo

I have bad things to say about WoWs' Izumo.

In 2018, when PR1 was added, Izumo was a mediocre ship in WoWs. Right now, she's much stronger; however, she's so poorly designed I can't handle her. The bad design is not the fault of Wargaming, as Izumo is a preliminary design of the Yamato-class with 410mm guns instead of 460mm guns.

Her deck was too weak compared to the modern day, meaning Izumo was the perfect target of light cruisers and destroyers, as they could and would burn her to death. In the modern day, her deck is 57mm and 32mm, meaning it is harder to farm with HE. Her rearmost turret angle is incredibly bad, having to expose an uncomfortable amount of her broadside to shoot. A good rule of thumb is that if you have to bring your rear turrets to bear for an enemy, that enemy can hit your citadel; and Izumo (and Yamato at T10) are no exceptions, as both ships have a massive weak spot right below their front turrets, the so-called 'cheek armor'. It is much more pronounced in the Yamato (as shown below), but Izumo has this weak spot where even 305mm guns can citadel you from the front.

This aforementioned weakness with her deck armor translates excellently into Azur Lane with her 'Specialized Armor' skill, which makes her more vulnerable to fires, but tankier against AP shells (due to her armor being prone to overpenetrations)

Izumo gets a 7/10 from me.

KMS Roon

Our original, favorite murder-hobo shipgirl, Roon.

In World of Warships she's a completely ficticious upscaled Nürnberg with utterly made-up triple 203mm gun turrets.

Roon's armor is a troll to both the Roon player and the player shooting at the Roon. Most German cruisres have a noteworthy strange aft armor, Hipper being able to take citadel hits when kiting away despite her extreme angle. Roon is much better in this regard, but she still has this flaw; alongside her small turtleback armor (a thing German battleships have as well, which we'll talk about on the PR2 post) means she's hard to citadel up-close but trivially easy to citadel at a certain distance.

German AP is acceptable, but their HE has always been anemic. Most German guns have access to an exceptional rule known as the "1/4 penetration" for their HE, meaning it deals more damage (more info here); but in most cases this hardly compensates for their ratehr bad HE.

In AL, Roon is an all-rounder heavy cruiser capable of tanking and dealing heavy damage. Her skill 'Expert Loader' - literally named after an old commander skill in WoWs that is now named 'Gun Feeder' - feels a bit odd, but makes sense; Expert Loader being a skill that allowed for the quick swapping of the main battery shells from HE to AP or AP to HE (in case, say, a British light cruiser presents her broadside at 10km, becoming a juicy target). I can see the logic behind that skill, same way with 'Well-Rounded Armor' as, well, Roon does have a well-rounded armor in WoWs.

Overall, Roon is a 9/10. Her problem is that she is Roon, the most uninteresting German cruiser of the game (in WoWs).

FFNF Saint Louis

Our favorite traumatized Catholic knight, Saint Louis is the last PR I will cover today

The main features of the French heavy cruisers are simple to understand. They are fast, and have boring guns. The T9 Saint Louis and T10 Henri IV are a bit better - and the relatively new T11 Condé is a ridiculous monster of a ship.

Saint Louis is an incredibly nimble ship, and her guns are at the very least very accurate. Her high explosive is remarkable, too, which is a feature common across the entire French navy in WoWs (Bourgogne being one of the best HE-spamming battleships in the game, for example).

I feel this translates excellently into Azur Lane, as Saint Louis is a fast and nimble heavy cruiser that hits hard, and is a well-rounded shipgirl overall. Her speed and EVA, proportioned by her 'Engine Boost' skill (which is literally the name of the consumable that allows her to go faster in WoWs), is incredible and seeing her dart around the screen at almost destroyer speeds is satisfying. Her skill 'Augmented HE Ammo' is yet another reference to a WoWs commander skill (Inertia Fused HE Shells), as her HE shells do more damage but have less fire chance than usual.

Overall, Saint Louis is the only 10/10 of PR1 in terms of accuracy to World of Warships.

Ryoshu and Roon are gonna bond as murder besties and Ryo is gonna teach Roon the best ways to brutally mutilate her enemies

The rest of Iron Blood is mildly terrified because Roon's already a crazy ass murder hobo once her boredom hits a certain threshold she does nOT need more ideas to feed that destructive urge.

On the flipside, Friedrich is watching this go down like a proud mother

Fresh Blood Demoness

Just when i think my Iron Blood quest is coming to an end, Azur Lane goes and adds another ship for me to snatch up. It looks like, with the coming update, we’re getting a brand new KMS Priority Ship and, on top of that, she’s a Prinz! The newest update is giving us a Shinano rerun, not my ever illusive Inverted Orthant, which is dope on it’s own. I am disappoint about the lack of Orthant but cool. Now, i already murdered that Dreamwakers's run initially so i don’t need to do it again. I’m going to, mostly because I'm curious how the first UR rerun is going to play out and i want more rainbow Blueprints. The rerun is nice but the other aspects of the update are absolutely intriguing. I am absolutely enamored with the new Research Queuing. This sh*t is amazing! You can load up to five separate Research projects at once, each time refreshing the available projects. That means you can get up to six refreshes in a day instead of the old, single, option. They all complete in the allotted time selected, in the order that they were set up, but that sh*t will go a long way to unlocking these new Blueprints for Priority Five. Which is the one aspect I am most hype for; We got Priority Five ships, boys!

I heard rumors of a new PR season a few weeks back but paid it no mind because there wasn’t a KMS ship in that roster. Imagine my surprise when an Iron Blood was dropped in this new update. Plymouth, a Decisive ship, is available for Royal Navy construction which is pretty chill. I mean, it’s not like they aren't already lousy with PR ships, and one of the only few Decisive options in Drake. Plymouth gives the Royal Navy to Decisive options, tying them with Iron Blood. Iris Libre gets to add to their PR spoils with Brest, another Decisive option. So far, they only have two PR options in Champagne and Saint Louis. Adding Brest really bolsters that French dock. Surprisingly, and very much welcome, is the fact that Dragon Empery and Northern Parliament finally get PR options! Harbin is the Empery ship and a very necessary one. Not only will she be the single Empery Priority option, but Harbin is the only Super Rare equivalent for the whole Chinese dock. It’s so weird there is an entire fleet with absolutely no SR option available. Northern Parliament fared much better in that regard, even netting a proper Ultra Rare ship in Kronshtadt (a rerun that i will partake in because i passed on the initial gambit) but they don’t have a Carrier. Until now. Chkalov is not only their first Construction option but she's a whole ass Carrier and you know how much i love them plane boats! But, all this Priority goodness aside, you know it’s KMS or bust for me. The Manjuu gods didn't disappoint, gifting me another delicious option in Prinz Rupprecht!

I have a soft spot for my Prinz girls. Obviously, Eugen is love. She’s the reason i even started playing this game but Adalbert has fast become a favorite and Heinrich is one of two reasons why i f*cking NEED that Orthant rerun. The other is Strasser but that’s more because of my insatiable Carrier lust than anything. The KMS Prirotiy ships have all been absolute winners. Roon, Mainz, Odin, Friedrich, Aegir, and August all find themselves under heavy in my various Fleets so, obviously, i have a mighty need for Prinz Rupprecht. I am a little bummed she isn’t a Carrier, i kind of always am because of the aforementioned Carrier lust, but Rupprecht is a Battlecruiser. Iron Blood isn’t short on Battleships at all. I mean, Ulrich, Bismarck, and Fried are all primed for battle. We also just recently got Seyditz, Lutzow, and Thuringen in the Rondo at Rainbow's End. KMS is lousy for Battleships and, while i am a little disappointed Rupprecht isn’t a Carrier, i am happy she’s a goddamn powerhouse. Anytime i can add to my Main KMS fleet, i am on board. Plus, she looks like Elizabeth Bathory from Fate/Grand Order. All gushing aside, i am not looking forward to accumulating that two million experience. That sh*t is always a goddamn slog, man.
