I'm getting them too :/

The game never quite conveys the sheer sudden blinding flash as the main batteries fire. I suppose it might be a little over the top to do it in game, might be a good tactic though against DDs

I try to give out compliments as much as possible as long as they're deserved, though I very much get the feeling that I'm one of the few. Just had a game where I got 8 kills, High Calibre, Confederate, Arsonist and of course Kraken unleashed and no one complimented me . No one even said anything in chat... Ah well such is life

I still see them regularly at tier 8-10. In fact at tier 10 often see 2 CVs a side, normally a tier 8 + 10.

FYI:As far as I know from testing in CBT and just after, the 20km range torps are spotted no earlier than the 15km range torps and I find the extra range Damn useful having used both the 15km and 20mm variations in CBT

Lol exactly what I was going to say! XD

Yes this is the issue I think! I've only encountered 1/2 so far.

Hopefully this is a sign of good things to come! Maybe they could have been a little more organised and actually posted it in the forums rather than relying on players... P.S. Any chance you could post a link to the FB post?

Had a 4v4 a couple of nights ago on the standard server. Obviously I was bottom tier 8 though we still won . Was actually a really good game because it felt like every choice I made mattered.

Out of interest, why?

Bloody brilliant little ship. Did not expect to get a 71% win rate in it after everything I'd heard about it. Might even go back to it or the Aoba!

WoW(s)! Really impressive, like the variety of ships and the different playstyles I imagine it would give at each and every tier. Would be really challenging and fun to do!

Yes repair costs are ridiculous. It can be sometimes easier in a DD because you can avoid being spotted but then you get games where you hit nothing and fire lots of torps and die with a 300K bill for ammo and repair. (Shimakaze torps cost AFAIK 1k per torpedo, consider in some games that I can fire 100 of them...)

Also depends on the number of CV's. 1 CV makes life difficult for DD's, 2 CV's make it almost impossible. Edit: this is for higher tiers mainly.

I seem to do fine (60-70%+ win rates in cruisers) and in fact found it harder to influence games in DDs though this might have been down to how many CV's there were at the time pre-nerf. FYI: Average XP goes CV>BB>CA>DD

Ditto

I've got a tier 10 DD, just voted so hopefully makes a difference ;). The lack of tier 10 players voting reflects the entire issue of not wanting to play it though doesn't it ;P. So thanks for proving the point of problems at tier 10 ^^.

Inflicting 2 detonations (which were both devastating strikes) in one game using a Furutaka on 2 DD's. I was bottom tier against tier 7. Definitely made my gaming day .

Detonated an Omaha with a HE shell from a Murmansk. Was like o.O Felt sorry for the poor captain was first 2 minutes and he was on full hp...

Dud rate? You asked about torp reloads not Dud rates. I'm not an expert on torpedoes IRL but good old Wikipedia describes them as 'the most advanced torpedoes of the time'. Take that as you will. Edit: the irony of you mentioning the 'mining' effect is that is exactly what Allied captains thought had happened (that they'd hit a mine) when they were struck from very long range by long Lance torps

Exactly my point! Especially with the oxygen based torps

Please do limit the number of torpedoes I can fire but then give us DD's: The REAL firing range (40km for the long Lance) The REAL chance of spotting said long Lance torpedoes (lol good luck planes). If you agree with this I'm a happy bunny and will happily have 2 or 3 reloads ;)

Sigh, unfortunately have to agree. Just comparing my Murmansk win rate to my DD's ones makes me sad. Again good find. Sort it out WG, don't do another WoWP.

Covering CVs in smoke if they don't haul [edited]quickly enough can be good as can covering cappers as long as you keep spotting for them. Pity its not done by more people.

That might have been me...
