Love the "Learn to Play"-series! I've been playing for years and am quite good at the game but I still enjoy those videos massively. Makes me go back to some ships and re-discover them. Keep it up! Great job!

Thank you! Honestly, making them helps me rediscover some things as well (such as Gearing)!

Yeah, when I first got the Fiji, it was so much more powerful than leander, even workable when uptiered. Still probably my fav T7 tech tree.

One thing I found particulatly useful in these ships is that they can take out secondary turrets better than any other ship line. I can remember with a Neptune or Edin you can essentially neuter a Massachusetts and many other secondary focused battleships, the AP is so good at that. Can't wait to talk about Edinburgh

My most played ship. And one of my highest win rate ship with about 200 matches. About 65%. I dont play any more but if i could chose just one it would be Fiji.

my first tier 7 ship which I regret grinding. this is one of the ships where out of 10 games only 1 or 2 games you will enjoy. fiji means citadel hit magnet. Everyone can kill you easily. you will die more than you live. paper boat in short.

All of the British light cruisers require "head on a swivel" play style. The painfully slow stopping characteristics is what gets most players dead; they get dev struck right as their smoke catches up to them.

@@SeaRaptor I think they don't have breaks at all. I died many times to torps in smoke while avoiding failing to stop. if you get spotted and tired to smoke still you lose half your hp until you slow down and smoke covers you but mostly by everyone who shoots at you. it loses HP like nothing. you are only good against DD. getting spotted is an overall bad thing for Fiji alone.

I play the lower tier British CLs with spotter plane for one reason and one reason only: I'm planning on playing the high-tier ships with radar, so I don't want to learn to lean on smoke as a crutch when I'm not going to have it later on. Fighter is a lolconsumable, so spotter it is.

You would probably like HMS Plymouth, then. She is more Edinburgh than Neptune, but the lineage is pretty clear when you play the ship.

You have described her strengths and weaknesses well (the delayed slowdown takes some practice to master). She is a good ship, but ever since I received the OG Belfast in a Christmas Crate 2 years ago, she is my go-to RN T7 CL for missions that call for a British light cruiser.. The OG Belfast is overall a much better ship especially when you put Andrew Cunningham in the Captain's chair. My poor Fiji comes out only rarely these days and then during snowflake season.

Belfast is definitely a better all-arounder and DD assassin. In a direct comparison to Fiji, the main place that Fiji comes out ahead is her longevity; that heal is super handy and allows Fiji to occasionally take some risks and some damage that Belfast doesn't want to take. In most other situations, Belfast is probably better. At this stage of the game's life, though, Belfast is relatively rare. Most players don't have one, and even if they do I still have to help them get past this tier to Edinburgh. =)

Light cruiser is more challenging than heavy cruiser, IMHO. For balance reasons, light cruisers are intentionally designed to be weak to battleships, whereas a well-played heavy cruiser can often stand up to a BB. Good BB players know this and will prioritize light cruisers as targets.

I actually like it for anti sub warfare as well, seems to be manoeurvable effort to duck n weave as well as hydro to spot and focus. sorry for linking but a good example which you didnt get to highlight as a strenght. kzitem.info/news/bejne/q52V1YOEbpSqn6g

A surface ship with 10km detection and roll-off depth charges is never going to be an "optimal" anti-submarine platform. Fiji can absolutely do work if it comes to it, but if the sub has teammates around that are looking to murder my Fiji while I hunt him, it's a tough challenge.

Basically, yes. The trick is that if you angle decently you can still bounce heavy cruiser and battleship AP. If you don't... well, you know the rest.
