So far the Montecuccoli is pretty good for me as a starting experience into a new gimmick/line, but I am used to playing glass cannons. She does feel inadequate against any type of BB, but the torpedoes (10km) are actually fun at that tier. I love the smoke, it has gotten me out of hazardoes situations in every match. The Genova I don't like, I am puzzled why she doesn't have the smoke gimmick. How is she representative for the Italian line? What's the idea behind that one?

Confirmed

Well, WG ofcoarse

Yeah :/

The game and players got worse. Brace yourself.

You dont get research points every win of the day with a ship, but only on the first win with it per reset.

People that are convinced there is a straight up truth in a game situation they were not part of are generally speaking a Great Wall of China talking. Not saying you are, just saying, you know Anyway, back to Why are DD's so poor these days, I should add perhaps why are DD's on my team so poor...

Im not a battleship player much, and the Lion certainly isn't among my favorites at that, so this was kinda sweet :-D

I wanted to but she wouldn't go down

So uhm, you guys are buying crates with the tokens you've earned? Are the rewards better then the other stuff for sale? Edit: 3rd one.

What I find when fighting other ships in my Asashio is that ma lot of players have trouble hitting it due to it's low profile. In a fight kiting, the Asashio with 4 rear guns in 2 turrets can be pretty hard to hit to be honest, and the alpha on it's guns can hit hard in return (pun intended).

You plonkers I was the first to die, ended second on the team. WTF. Weekends make me want to uninstall :P

I was shot in my Smol yesterday, steeply angled, by a Venezia and my god did that hurt. The thing actually scared me :o I think it might be the 'Italian Job' to keep the Russian cruisers in check

They were added as soon as the evnt ended. They are like regular achievement crates so it's easy to confuse them with regular achievement additions.

I actually think it's a great wrench thrown in the wheels of the silly meta we have at tier X. I love seeing BB confused in tier X. I love seeing Stalingrad and Moscvas burned in their stalemate positions. Love pushing radar ships away to help caps. I enjoy burning island campers. I hate the tier X meta, and this ship lets me crap all over the ones that keep it hostage. Inertia has been dictating the tier X meta way too long. I'll keep sailing this until they nerf it to bits Yeah I use a 19 km range Smol. What of it?

It's not that we bash all DD's here, but man did DD's become worse since 0.8.0. As have the CV's lol. It's like the whole player base has been gliding down quality wise in general. There are a few typical DD's behaviors that I see now that weren't as much present before: The no scout DD (simply refuses to scout whatsoever during the whole match) The camp behind BB's DD (variation on the above but worse) Always have been present since the the game start are the: The YOLO DD that dies within 2 minutes The sit in smoke and lose visibility on enemies DD (will wait in smoke intil smoke runs out despite) The sit in cap behind island and do nothing DD (old variation on the no scout DD) The sit broadside in smoke in cap DD (again doesnt scout incoming threats and almost always gets torped or radared and dies) I bet we can make a list of BB's CA's and CV's too with the worst behaviors, but this thread is asking whu DD's are so poor these days

Yup and german DD got killed by CV trying to attack it once he found it after 10 minutes

Buy the Enterpr.... wait, what the

I decided to play it differently, close quarter support for an Asashio and FdG on a flank against a Georgia, Z52 Hindi, and Ibuki, but that wasn't much of a succes lol. Once my smoke ran out i was toast, this time everyonme started shooting at me and I could only deter the Ibuki and kill the Georgia. What the enemy team did was this: Notice it was 3 vs. 4 on our flank Everyone keept shooting at me, even in my smoke - especially the hindi AP hurt a lot The Georgia took the challenge and kept sailing towards me Our Asashio somehow missed all his torpedoes and was killed (not sure why he was spotted wtf??) My smoke ran out I died pretty quickly while killing the Gerogia Our FdG sailed into the map border and was torped by 3 ships lol, it was pretty sad GG enemy team

@Winged_Cat_Dormant Well, first of all, we all have to start shooting it. I've actually stopped using my smoke unless I really have to. And I don't use islands (much). I kite a lot at 18 km but hardly anyone shoots at me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I won't lie. 2 oopsies
