Hey what is going on YouTube Aon here we are back ladies and gentlemen and guys we finally got our hands on breast no I’m just kidding I hope you guys can hear my we and I apologize for the audio yesterday I don’t know what happened it sounded pretty decent on the
Editor here and then it transferred over to YouTube and it sounded like I was recording in a toaster but hopefully this one is better but guys we have our first look at breast how many how many breast jokes do you think I can fit into this video I’ll try to leave a counter
Up on the top but just like my first time looking at breast I was amazed at first until I found out what is behind them I’m just kidding sorry the I’m going to I’m going to have fun with this video and my awful puns but regardless this line of ships is actually pretty
Fun but unfortunately I don’t think they are that good they have a long reload the accuracy is pretty lacking as you guys will find out very shortly here now they do have good concealment and of course the engine boost which you can get yourself into unique positions you
Are definitely going to want to try and get out on the flank such as we are doing in this game but speaking of the accuracy look at that shot oh it’s all over the place and we actually end up splashing between a cruiser there now of
Course that shot was at around 16.8 km and for this particular game we were running Beyond range which I actually switched to igniter or the other you know uh fire perk there because despite these ships being French they really don’t have the best fire chance now RNG
Definitely went my way this game we had a pretty good team as well and these ships definitely Excel when you can get a flank and that is exactly what we’re doing here but a few of you have seen me play these ships on stream and they’re just they’re they’re just really
Truthfully lackluster in my opinion but part of the fun that I am having in the game now is is just playing ships that are not necessarily the best everyone knows we can take out a mines or a De Moine or something super strong and go out and dominate the the enemy and again
Some days I do want to do that but doing that time and time again uh just becomes monotonous and boring to me uh so I you know certain days I do want to take out these ships which are probably less you know than than ideal in most
Circumstances now that being said it can definitely lead to some frustration as well because you are taking up a cruiser spot and if you know in a competitive game I definitely would not want a teammate or you know or or myself taking out this ship in in trade of a potential
Radar Cruiser or DPM Cruiser that are very vital to the the team in most circumstances but just pay attention to a few of the Salos like I said we do get some RNG to fall our way and we are definitely attracting a lot of damage and despite these ships being French you
Don’t really want to put them in this kiting position your armor is actually more favored towards the front now you do have a massive 25 mm nose which can be overmatched so you want to make sure that you angle and this position is better than you know flat broadside
Obviously we are still angling our armor but um they actually just do a little bit better because of the kiting angles here you can kind of see we are on the edge of of opening up that angle uh you know with the the guns both being placed
In the front location there now one of the benefits I guess of having a rather long reload is the fact that you will actually go concealed uh around 20 seconds which is right right under the time of your reload here I believe our reload is 23 seconds uh even with a few
Buffs to that reload so uh you can TR you kind of think about your position right before your next shot you can position you can get around and with go all out in the specific build we are running on top of concealment module and a few other you know concealment perks
Uh and and the overall good concealment of these you know of this line you can get yourself into some Nifty spots now I’ve heard a lot of people say that and my counterargument is that may work one out of 10 games some people can get in behind the enemy or something like that
And we have done that in a few games however in the other nine games you’re probably not going to have have the same luck which is why when people give me like a very unique build or a very unique play style I I I don’t try to put
That down but I just try to be realistic with people right and that’s why when people say oh well I abandoned my flank because I had a kraken this time you know on the south side of Atlantic and it’s like okay that was a very specific scenario I’m talking about this ship as
A hole right the the best trait of a ship to me is adaptability and while this ship does have sealment in health it doesn’t really have much adaptability or versatility in terms of its guns and and honestly I know that you know some people really enjoy the concealment and
The different and unique builds and I I’m going to be quite honest I kind of enjoyed it here because we’re 11 what 7 kmers from that Bismark and we still have like 2 kilm worth of concealment and with Go allout Active I think we can
Get it down to 8.9 so you can definitely set up some ambushes but again it’s it’s not going to work in these standard Legends game because Legends is very standoffish you will get you know ships like that bismar there who rush in pretty aggressively and you can get
Their flank Etc and you can lead the charge of course but just with the average player kind of you know most players tend to sit back but getting into the guns there we do actually get a nice hit on that mines and if you can keep these guns cycling eventually we
Have gotten some fantastic salvos but I just feel like it’s you have to roll those double Snake Eyes or the double sixes whatever you want to I forget which one definitely double sixes right yeah you have to roll those double sixes and you know if you guys play dice rolling
Double sixes is very rare now of course you can surprise some players because these ships as you guys have noticed do have a Reload booster so if you get into that position and into that flank on an enemy’s broadside at you know medium ranges there with your concealment you
Pop that reload booster you get some RNG we have yeed some battleships now again it’s it’s the times that it has happened are fewer than the times it has not but you know having those reload boosters is definitely a plus now here’s actually a position that I think the ship is pretty
Pretty decent in now of course we’re not going to be getting that much as you see just another that was just the worst accuracy you could have but again on a follow-up shot which is aided by our reload booster we actually get a lot of shells to connect now of course like we
Mentioned we don’t really have the fire chance so if you want to add a few things into your fire chance just to make these ships viable I I definitely think that is you know more of the smart thing to do than having range now to be quite honest despite the French medium
Cruisers like the H the hry uh the St Louis uh and the Charles Martell being you know more of the H spammers this ship is definitely focused around the AP you could definitely you know make an argument for building into the AP but I think that the guns are strong enough
And honestly uh with with just how Legends armor scheme and the way over pens work in Legends I think they’re too strong they are 330 mm guns which works out to about 12.9 in to all my freedom unit users out there so of course they
Are going to have a lot of pen and like I said I believe that just leads to a few over pens especially on light Cruisers so speing into the AP pen while viable I don’t think is truly necessary if you combine I think sometimes in certain situations you want to make the
Weaknesses of a ship stronger and and in certain ships you want to strengthen uh their strengths now I I know that’s a little contradicting but for this specific example I want to strengthen the H on this ship uh as well as the reload but also spec a little bit into
The concealment and of course the unique French trait of go all out which we actually just activated on our engine boost consumable there and you can now see that our concealment is down to 8.9 which is pretty nutty we are almost bordering on Destroyer concealment now of course destroyers in this game can
Get down to about 5 km so not quite Destroyer concealment but pretty crazy for a cruiser with such large caliber guns and because a lot of players tend to focus on one class and don’t really like expanding or learning about the game that is going to surprise a lot of
The I guess Battleship Mains um and that used to be me right but learning about all other classes of games is going to make you a better player here this is a good example this flandre we we went in concealment but we popped around this island at 9.5 km his guns were turning
Because there was another Target there and we actually get the elimination so definitely playing into your advantage is going to help the lack of reload and accuracy but again I just don’t think I I’m trying to be you know have an open mind about these ships and be a little
Optimistic but this was my best game by far or or one of them uh as we actually get another beautiful Savo there on that mindes and that was besides a very close range Salvo on an Italian Battleship which netted us I think three citadels or four maybe on our other video uh that
Was probably one of my best Salos as we get a follow-up Salvo which nearly completely misses but because of our positioning uh and you know our ability with concealment out here on the flank we’ve actually ticked oursel 100,000 damage which again is is my marker for a
Decent game now some people take that the wrong way that’s definitely not you know something you should use on average especially if you’re just starting out or especially if you play destroyers but uh getting around you know 1.5 to two times your health uh in terms of damage
It it’s just if you do the math if everyone did that on your team you would win automatically right if I do if everyone on our team does twice their amount of Health while still maintaining their health it’s it’s an automatic win I just you know when people throw away
Their ship without doing anything that is that is sometimes what truly frustrates me it’s like if you’re going to trade 100,000 Health in your Yamato you have to be doing something for our team that is a massive you know slot of Health that you have just you know
Thrown away which is why our game yesterday was a little it’s just astonishing how you know two players can do 80% of the team damage and we we still end up losing but if you didn’t see that video make sure you guys check it out as we line up another beautiful
Shot on this uh peor bag ration here we kind of get the Yeet we have you know secured three pretty low Health kills here but at this point of the game I was like all right we have gotten into a position we’ve got shot at a few times
We’ve angled we are really doing well and then I kind of looked up and there was only two ships left now of course that was a near you know half health or or 3/4 Health Kansas there uh so we definitely were thinking about you know getting the high caliber and you just
Look at the accuracy man one hit there now of course a few of them hit the island but it it’s just like the ship gives you just enough to love it it’s like it’s like a redheaded stepchild it’s a very common analogy in this game it’s like you it gives you just enough
To love it for a moment and then all of a sudden you get that follow-up Salvo and I’m going to be honest these Salos right here with 330 mm guns that was a decent one but they should they should should be more I I I I guess I’m expecting
Imagine that I was playing another tier eight Cruiser the Petro the Buffalo the Salem the Rune um any other tier eight Cruiser the Ibuki would be absolutely mauling this Kansas in this position now of course the Kansas is actually getting mauled as we speak by the rest of our
Team but the three three Salos at a broadside Kansas would definitely net me more than what 20,000 damage um which we got we at 106 I think we’re at 125 now it’s that again it’s RNG dependent uh you know certain people might be getting citadels in that situation the Kansas
Has a rather close to the waterer Citadel so I’m just you know kind of thinking out loud there but if I was in my Buffalo with a 7-second Reload or even better a Salem OR the Rune or the pro even with the pro I I just feel like
We’re getting some better RNG but that is like I said The Lure of playing these ships as we get some fan mail from another Cruiser but alas this game is coming to a close as you guys can pretty evidently see here here on screen there’s only one light Cruiser left I
Think it’s a harbon I believe he actually connects a few Torpedoes but the final engagement here was just the we had a good game but we just get completely trolled at the end here um he he pops up broadside as you guys will see here in a in a moment and there are
Those Torpedoes we were talking about uh we catch him broadside Not only was the Salvo just insanely you know not accurate but we get three over pens now of course some of those could have hit High and missed his Citadel but when I’m I just I hate when you kind of we didn’t
Necessarily outplay him but we caught him broadside we get a well- aimed shot off and RNG just says Nope so um it’s it’s just one of those situations again he’s slightly angled four over pens as he connects more Torpedoes so I think we got a little extra attracted damage there at the end
Of the game now we may this might have been too much angle but if you actually watch and pay attention to the Salvo that lands right at the mid belt there for one penetration and one overpen so completely trolled by by RNG but you can see he is getting absolutely pounded by
Our team and we to be quite honest we actually just missed out on two kills there at the end of the game on both at Kansas and the harbon so uh a close Kraken uh but a good game nonetheless show you know highlighting and showing all the strengths and weaknesses of this
Ship uh to be quite honest the strengths lie in its concealment and speed and a little bit in its armor and the weaknesses are its gun but a third finish there so a pretty good team uh communist Pingu there in the in the viar he’s got a funny name 2738 so a really
Good team actually if I’m in third place with 2700 XP and fourth place was 22 that that was just a really good team so shout out to the enemy team as well for not completely potatoing but a pretty like I said pretty decent game there uh six fires three citadels so hopefully a
Good first look game for you guys in the breast there man I I do love looking it never mind I’m not going to say that one but let’s go ahead and review the ship’s modifications here it is the pretty standard Loadout that I have for most of
My ships as we get our Bureau stuff off of the screen there aiming systems mod one propulsion concealment and reload now you could make an argument for tur reverse in mod one because the turet reverse is pretty abysal in this thing but uh I definitely think I would go
With aiming systems because you get that added dispersion I can’t think of this thing with worse dispersion but anyway I again you could probably build these things however you want I still don’t think they’re going to be overly effective they are performing all right uh according to blip which I just think
That those performance metrics are skewed but let’s go ahead and look at the stats here survivability saw it on screen 5,300 with a decent torpedo protection which we needed definitely at the end of that game and here comes the main selling point or lack of rather 2×4 330
Mm guns with an 18.2 range which is actually decreased because we switched our build with a 23.1 Reload just for reference I think my John Bart has 380s or 381 with a 22 second reload so I don’t know why War gaming doesn’t want us to have a good Tech Tree Line uh
Other than maybe like the American Cruisers I guess or certain destroyers but these ships are not overpowered in any sense but they’re definitely going to be fun you do also I guess have good AA it’s rated an 82 there although that number doesn’t really mean anything you’re really focused on your longrange
AA which is not that great maneuverability is average tight turning Circle kind of a sluggish Rudder but a decent top speed there and you do have your engine boost consumable and of course when combined with go all out you can actually get that concealment down
To a cheeky 8.9 it is a 9.6 base uh of course with concealment mod and I actually do believe we have maawa I think uh on this build as well so a a pretty good concealment but when you’re looking at these tabs I I prefer to have my my strengths in survivability and
Artillery and even AA defense instead of maneuverability and concealment and that is kind of where the strengths of these ships are now of course the guns can smack uh when RNG is on your side but as you saw in the game it’s like every third Salvo is is
Just it’s all every third Sao is your good one and two out of three are all over the place but let’s go ahead and review the armor here like we mentioned a massive 25 mm French nose there which can easily be overmatched uh but most battleships however you do have a pretty
Protected Citadel it’s pretty low to the water and you have a little bit of a French Turtle back there kind of on the outer casem mate armor there so getting in close is definitely going to lend you some better advantages uh you know of course with that concealment as well but
And definitely in terms of being protected for that armor for those that don’t know turtleback armor uh mainly used by the Germans but in certain Japanese ships as well as the French there really protects your Citadel because the closer you get the the steeper that angle becomes uh on that
Turtle back there now it actually does hurt you in terms of you know longer range plunging fire uh but but we’ll do kind of a I should do another armor video it’s it’s been a while but here we have the overview one of my favorite kind of cinematic shots in this game
Despite the French Heavies kind of being some of the uglier Cruisers of of you know in this game but Full Ahead barrage and big and flammable there which means you have a 45 second fire instead of your standard 30 on on Cruisers mainly because you are essentially a battleship
As you guys can see in the little you know about section there this was like the predecessor of the dun Kirk class battleships but here is our commander and what not a better Commander for breast than Miss St Louis for two obvious reasons there uh her main base
Trait uh does reduce your consumable time as well as your reload time we switch Beyond range there for igniter in the second slot or burn it down and then of course we have igniter in the second slot and then go all out in the third slot you could choose uh velocious or
One of the other perks but I just think it’s good to have that increased concealment for you know potential meme opportunity there are definitely you know other commanders you can run but the last perk here I think is probably the most beneficial bonjour uh it increases uh enhanced main battery
Reload booster by 10% as well as giving you a a a whole another charge uh so you have four uh with fully packed there uh as your legendary perk instead of two uh or three with fully packed so uh two add charges uh to the standard with this
Specific build is definitely going to be beneficial but yes we are running maawa and then of course Melly there for increased reload uh kind of a hodg Podge type build I’m sure there’s better builds out there uh but again I need to do a whole video on this it is not the
Build that makes a ship a ship is a ship now of course the builds can enhance a ship um even you know by a decent margin but it’s truly the builds but there’s the French heavy line um I’m going to be honest I’m just just disappointed with
This line I thought it was going to be a lot better I think they could get a 5-second you know reload Nerf or buff rather as well as a slight accuracy buff and these ships would still probably be underplayed I think the problem with the balancing Department right now is that
Wargaming bases their assessment off ships off of the the higher tier players because new players are not playing these ships uh so you’re not getting accurate metrics uh towards the the Nerfs and Buffs but War gaming does a decent job I say decent uh and not superb because there’s still a lot of
Things that could be looked at in my opinion but that was our first look let me know what you guys think of that let me know if the audio was better in this one I tried to uh balance it out a little bit better but anyway love you guys a out peace

Weeeezz
yoyoyo i am the first like Aaron your video are so good
So who here is hoping, and praying to the gods of Olympus that A Aron will eventually post a video titled "Busting out a pair of Brests" ?
I sure am 😜
I am sad cause by the title I was expecting a way different video. 😢
Thanks for showing us your Brest. Looks a little flat for my taste…wish she had more ample assets😉
it was good.
Audio is good. I love breast. God bless the USA. And gentlemen, start your engines
We need an AL Brest Commander.
The intro got me
Spartan seems to enjoy brest. Just need to buff that turret traverse, and dont brawl at first. And just need to buff the accuracy and you shoukd be ok. Has a good concealment
Aaron, The french Bb typically have low reload. The H-Cruise is long? Blip and WG justify this based on gun calibre and that fast. However, most ships we love have a fair reload.
Great at first glance, great at the second glance, the third and the fourth and the fifth, until you realize the Bre(a)st is a phony and you have been misled to believe it was great.
Honestly… I clicked on this vid in hopes that you make Jingles proud and man you didn't disappoint!
The Brest is a bit flat and not very perky. Definitely in need of augmentation for a better time.
Why is the concealment so good?
You'd never be able to conceal such a large brest and nor should you.
Guess you're just not a Brest man, it's ok, not everyone knows how to handle more than a handful.
With the Long reload I would expect the accuracy to be a bunch better. This line has really left me not wanting to complete it. Without Sonar for reload booster we are more dependent on others to help spot and deal with DD's. However it is capable of dealing with BB's if you don't get deleted by them with the weak armor.
Nearly fell off my chair when I saw you get a double fire. But I agree a really good advantage is that you drop spot between shots which is great for repositioning between shots. These ships are a good challenge if played well and actually have good games mostly but really lack kills and damage beyond 100k regularly. Still working towards the breast 😋
I only have the Toulon and Cherbourg. Brest’s guns look much better in terms of Pen. But if you’re going to give us that bad of a reload the guns need to be more accurate. I get the argument the things can do 35-40 knots and have 330 mm guns. But make it so we can get it down to 20 seconds. Not asking for a complete rework, give it a 2-3 second reload buff
What commander are you using Aron? I am using Azure Lane Saint Louis with Mikawa and Nachi Inspirations. For Stealth and speed. And with AL St Louis her skill set helps these type of ships IMHO.
Hands on the Brest and disappointed? Oh dear, Ronmeister what are we to do?? Yes the jokes continue… These are quirky ships for sure, I cannot think of them as cruisers but light battleships, Dunkerque class which makes them an odd ship at T8. These ships are for the "technician" type of players, those who like to tweak and tinker with builds and spreadsheets. But it's good to see you highlighting them I think your analysis was fair and balanced.
You should do a series on "odd" ships, start with USS Florida – I like the ship but struggle with the build, trying to find. a sweet spot as a battlecruiser or even supercruiser coz she can't toe to toe with BBs
Audio was 5 by 5 BTW, great video thanks for sharing.
No one ever made a review on neustrashimi literally 😅
WG MM is still the worst enemy RNG is the thing that tips everything over for even trying.Legends is not working for the player base anymore.Consealmeant mod for BB.s are making the game even more devestating. And You where absolutley right about players not playing from there spawn point.But the absolut worst is BB.s backing from start and DD.s just playing for damage not for points to win.
If you want a challenge pull out tier 2 Mikasa I'd love to hear your criticism towards that unpolished turd
8.9km concealment?!
