We need skilled MM for CVs. Do I even need to explain why?

Their JB won them the game. He stopped the Lenin train :( Still happy with 2.6k :)

Ah, spreadsheet will get too big. I understand. I will just keep dieing by CVs like a pleb, no problem.

So been playing the Le Terrible for a couple of games again. I must say she is the most unique ship I've ever played. Thanks to her layout she is complete garbage when a CV dislikes you, but is a superb ship on the other hand when CVs don't focus you. It made me wondering about the MN destroyer line. So I've been thinking about two bonusses to make MN DD's less interesting to bomb by CVs, which are: Increase of dispersion òf bombs/rockets fired at you by the enemy CV. Decrease of aerial detectability. These bonusses should be added to all normal camouflages for MN DDs, including premium camo's. Good idea / bad idea? Other suggestions to make MN DDs useful in CV matches?

Those have access to smoke. Yes, the CV rework is far from balanced yet, even my grandma can tell us that. But in the mean time it would be nice to give DDs that don't have access to a smoke generator something.

What helps the campfest is that the high tier SN BBs have fast turning guns. So when you want to do a drive-by even a potato can shoot back... Also the armour lay-out together with the DCP's is a nice demotivation. I am fine with the other battleships; they raised the Conqkek citadel right? Their latest spreadsheet line just kinda sucks.

New Russian DD, Comrad

You can mute him, but also do some self reflection. Sometimes the rant is caused by dissapointment, so it contains the truth, but it is also possible that the guy is just a potatoe.

It only works on loaded guns.

Look at the AA characteristics of the Kremlin... She also doesn’t have access to fighters.

Congratz! Great ship! She’s my favourite! I hope you have many great battles with her :)

I thought it was a feature... Interesting

Khaba is kinda meh nowadays imo. Biggest disadvantage is that she eats AP pens from 280+.

The 14.3 caliber rule is pretty important. Good luck! Don't hesitate to ask more questions about it :) Don't forget to check out their other videos as well (:

I feel like a time traveler

Some communities consist of multiple clans, so your site is not the holy grail. Good luck on finding a clan.

But you do pick the area you fight for, perhaps this is the issue?

@Leo_Apollo11 Does this convince you? I barely use torpedoes with that ship, because the guns are such a blast xD

Sure, as long as you know that that is half of the story.

It doesn't matter how big or thick the Gearing is to arm AP shells. There are two ways an AP shell gets armed and that is by hitting armour that is 1/6 of the gun caliber or by water. The thicker a ship is the more likely it is that an ARMED AP shell will detonate inside it.

See the armour viewer in port for the Gearing. Gearing eats penetrations like a mad man from other DDs.

Most DDs should fire AP on a broadside Khabarovsk at close range, because the armour will make the shells penetrate. Same can be said for the Gearing. Gearing and Khabarovsk are the only destroyers in game with additional armour plating. The other high tier DDs all have 19mm hull, 13mm super structure. Correct me if I am wrong, see armour viewer yourself if you want to be sure. (EDIT: I believe there is another high tier DD with some different kind of armour, but I need to look that up in the game myself later on). At OP The reason most suggest to fire AP on broadside DD's with KM is because: HE shell damage: 1,500 Penetration: 1/3 of 1,500 = 500 AP shell damage: 3,000 Penetration: 1/3 of 3,000 = 1,000 Overpenetration: 1/10 of 3,000 = 300 You can test it for yourself in a training room, but if you are near an enemy DD and he is flat broadside your AP shells will over penetrate the DD, thus resulting in only 300 shell damage. In this instance you are better of firing HE shells. But if you are knife fighting an enemy DD it is most likely that he won't be flat broadside. This will increase the odds that some of your AP shells will fuse inside the ship, causing penetrations. As you can see above you don't need many penetrations to make it the better shell type, however when the target is at auto bounce angle your shells will bounce, thus do 0 zero damage. The easiest way to play the T9 and T10 DDs is to start in a training room and test it yourself against bots. Just make the bots stand still, so that you can test it at a couple of firing ranges and angles. Shima for instance is quite a narrow ship, so it is less likely that you will make penetrations happen on her. The reason I think the German DD line is trash is because they nerfed flooding damage and improved HE shell damage of IJN torpedo boat line. Sure the hydro is a nice gimmick, but who's going to fall for that... It is also nice that you need to use your smokes nowadays vs CVs... Anyhow good luck with the line. The RN DD line is much more enjoyable and also gives you hydro. The distance is shorter, but still gives you a 1km advantage against other DDs. EDIT: The reason AP is often a good choice for the high tier RN DDs as well is because they have improved auto bounce shells. Increasing odds on penetrations as well. RN AP also fuse on 19mm, the typical DD armour layout. For some reason I am always having trouble finding the fuse timers list on the Wiki... The reason that AP on broadside DDs at close range is useless for your Z is because your AP shells fuse on 21mm. Since typical DD armour layout is 19mm they won't fuse.

The KM DD line is trash. Try something else?

What are the odds that they will stealth improve the UI?
