Personally i never died to it.....most players who are not braindead bots usually have good idea whee dd is, better to say on which direction it is......by useless i mean there are much better skills to chose

Sims still has that exp multiplier but they changed game exp ernings. Caps now give much less. Go fight other dds and you will see exp count rising.

I torped my self one time in cv and it was not intenional Cv rework? It is done. We have alternative controls: And yes. Whole game suffers because wg fucked cv. Eaven people thinks it is wot arty it is not. It is one of most skill intensive ship. Especially in reading gameplay. And it is the most important ship in game. Basicly good/bad Cv player win or lose game radnom or compettive.

Saipan is one of OP ships so of you like CV it os great. German BBs dominate t 7 so again it is great border OP ship if you like BBs

Every ship can "snipe". It is not a ship it is captain.

I don't have to be near you. I have Tirpitz and his torpedo activates as regular2 torpedos. More than 20 m.....you probably saw them 20 m from you but he fired it earlier.

He did not torp you from 20m.....and trying to ramm Tirp.....no words.

than they can be t8

Gearing has 50% MORE DPM than KHABA....if you got Khaba cornered you will kill it....no meter armor

Bly with SF was most OP ship in game. You could SF from stock captain. Now they nerfed iz from OP to stroong

That 40 seconds is 40 seconds no fly zone around 7.2 km That other consumable is 20 seconds of no dd zone around 10+ km. In any competitive play cruisers are as important as bb. [edited]radnom. In radom wins team which has less braindead zombies.

Radar is in game more than year. Dd are still played.

with setup on picture she will not have t9 plane......that will balance tings hard......Saipans OP comes from t9 planes.....so Enter weaknes could came from t 7 panes

To sum it up...with al things consider Gearing is still top DD in game in terms of competitive play. Shima, Groznevoy and Z 52 has no spot there because they lack team tool. Only viable option is : 1 place gearing - spoting (with cv) with sharing best stealth in game, smoking team with THE BEST smoke in game and defensive AAA, 2 place Khaba for flanking. other 3 dds are just fine for random....everything is just fine for randoms...... so back to OP question....Gearing is very competitive ship....top dog in competitive play and very solid in randoms...for randoms it has very friendy torps with longest range (not conting shity 20 km of shima that are spoted 5 km away).....it has great smoke for self or team....it has great guns for smokefire and in close combat nothing can get him.....

Most tactic is sitting in smoke. There hydro has more usage than 6 km torps. Also Bismarck has better aaa

On picture is 1-2-2. Funny note (on picture) is that it looks like 1x9-2x5-2×5....where it has t 7 fighters and t 8 bomb/tb I want5 that now

2-1-1 don't get me started

In this scenario i agree. NOTHING can beat or push out km dd

How can you see there is no radar cruiser infront when radar cruiser like DM have 10.6 stealth.........yeah it is easy to cap in end of game than BB can cap...but in start or middle game when most of enemie are alive, there are no eyes who can help you with radar cruiser who have same stealth detection and radar range.......i watched many many tournaments by top clans/players end NEVER EVER saw mid cap capping......also Z-52 is lack proper smoke and defensive fire to be contestent for DD slot in "real" games aka tournament or i hope soon clan wars..... Gearing is so much stronger ship overal for competitiv play

No is ussles But on other heand on some map Bismarck is good ship. Where is alot of closer combat. I would say it has more use than Amagi that is strictly flanker

And thats why you use your superior range and gunprecision. On 17 k bs can not hit you precise while you can him. NOTHING in this game can burn and kill bs on regular basis as RU flametrowers.

Ru crusers. Burn burn burn. NOTHING except crazy luck can stop you to solo bbs.

FFS why o why would you park yourself in middle of cap? Smart cap is cap where you can retreat if you got radared or overun by more enemies or you got CV over head (in competitive gameplay there is allways cv). It is too risky strategy to park in middle and hope you will cathc other DD.....if radar pops put you are out of game....dead or near dead....to risky for cap....that is not how smart dd caps. I can agree that combo smoke + hydro is good....but ussualy capping is done on border with ability to retreat......so you can not abuse that ability much. And if cap is contested with 2 or more DDs as soon as theyspot eachother smart dds will not rush KM one but will retreat out our just wait on border of cap for his short smoke to finish. Still, in my opinion, Gearing is king here - on t 10 when you rush KM dd in smoke you are just idiot.....period.... P.S. 2 + minutes of smoke also gives advantage (strategic).....so USA dds are and will be kings of spoting/caping/smoking and most used in tournaments on t8/10. Also dont forget another plus for Gearing - imune/halfimune to crosdrop from CV.

What is better caper and why? Snima has same stealth but can not win in a gunfight against usa. Kuhana and Ru line has worst stealth and are gunboaths. German? With their losy smoke? Nah. Gearing is still best capper of them all. Also winer in close engagement.

Siting in smoke ussualy ends in dead dd by torps or radar. Also on t10 not many (excluding braimdead zombiws) will rush german dd smoke. Gearing is the best dd in t10 game. Khaba is not proper dd. Also Gearing diktate light his almost 2 km stealth advantage.
