World of Warships - Learn to Play: Tier X American Crusier USS Des Moines

At last, the top of the line! Join me as we explore the American heavy cruiser branch, concluding with Tier X's USS Des Moines. 00:00 - Intro 00:08 - Meet Des Moines 01:58 - Survivability 04:13 - Maneuverability & Concealment 06:49 - Main Battery 09:39 - Armor 13:33 - Depth Charges 13:51 - AA Defenses 17:09 - Upgrades & Consumables 25:52 - Commander Skills 29:07 - Signals 29:43 - Sample Gameplay When we say "top of the line" for the American heavy cruisers, we absolutely aren't kidding. Des Moines has the best main battery reload and best AA suite of the branch, and the number of different ways you can configure this ship and get good work out of her is the reason she's remained relevant in World of Warships all these years later. This is one ship - really, one entire branch of ships - that definitely hasn't been left behind by power creep. In this video I'll talk about how I build my Des Moines, why I fit her out that way, how I recommend playing her, and follow all of that up with a game demonstrating the ship in action. Enjoy!
