for elite torps2k more damage but with double the reloadand only 2 kts speed difference, hardly better. As for stock torps it is completely worse in each aspect except 200 more damage. I have no idea why a 610mm torp is that worse than a 533mm!

I'd suggest Isokaze better since she has better turrets. Don't underestimate those guns you can even kill USN DDs if ambushed!

Hurr durr BB UP buff BB nerf everything else!!

DD are so easy to die by cruisers. I can't tell how many time I insta died by CA in my DD or even by BB in my cruiser. I just can't realize when it comes to BB dying easily everyone goes crazy. Really if you guys want to overbuff BB survivability against carriers then BB insta kill cruisers with citadel hits need to go away too! And no, the direction this game is headed to is world of battleships.. haven't you been checking the recent patch notes of which classes are getting nerfs lately and which are getting buffs?

Last time I heard, it only has 4-5 km range, which of course a DD should already been spotted unless in smoke.

Well, if they make a game for western ships like this one then hopefully allied ships won't have to come to kancolle. I'm sorry for everyone but I just don't see them belong in kancolle. Maybe 1-2 or max but still.. it's too awkward!

Smoke is barely even used anymore. The extra torpedo acquisition of this skill would make sense if torps weren't as easy to dodge as already and all those vocal torpedo warnings.

True, Tachibana as best is a reward ship like those tier 2 reward tanks in WOT. It makes sense considered she was so bad she was taken out of the regular line.

Hatsuharu is actually not hat bad, it has okish guns for start. It's Mutsuki that has problems. http://forum.worldofwarships.eu/index.php?/topic/14468-stock-minekaze-vs-stock-mutsuk As you can read in my thread, the stock torpedoes of those 2 ships should switch some of their stats. This will means slight (needed?) nerf for Minekaze and Isokaze while a buff (needed!) for Mutsuki, Furutaka and Yuubari. Edit: oh I forgot, all this doesn't matter because WG don't care about this kind of feedback.

Speaking of Akitsu Maru, I wish one day we will see her as a tier 2 or 3 premium. I love that ship so much (both irl and in game) :3

People forget that BB have double the CA hitpoints and 3-4 the DD hitpoints, so obviously anything will attack BBs mainly will have higher average damage, just like Ectar said. What WG needs to do is make the XP gain not only based on damage, or different for each class. Hopefully the XP system and minor balance issues get solved during OBT otherwise I see no reason for OBT. They already said we won't get new lines and carriers and high tier IJN DDs will remain in this terrible state forever.

Actually Furutaka is extra worse against carriers for having one of the worse AA of the tier (excluding DDs, including tier 4 BBs) and one of the worst turning circles.

This will be the Albany of the IJN tree, anything else is just being optimistic. this is WG we are talking about.

Yes, a white cat would look good XD

That's cute :3

@Historynerd can you post larger pics next time?

Either you guys want to join or just checking, we welcome anyone willing to chat in our chatango http://pravdasensha-do.chatango.com/ Drop by and say hello, you might be lucky enough to catch out picture spam :3 @Ishiro32 see? we do give those to our active players and guests XD

come on in and bring your lolis with you ^^

Furutaka had double the launcher irl but ofc Japanese ships must have their historical weakness (RoF, turrets) but no way they should get their historical strengths (torpedo tubes).

I have no problems with torpedoes in my battleships.. you should stop sailing in a front line, don't play solo Rambo and pay attention to your surroundings!

Yeah but at higher tiers your formations and your damage don't improve anymore. If you nerf the planes on tier 9 and 10 then you're making them identical to tier 7, 8 and even 6 in case of IJN except in survivability!

None of the t3 ships are strong against tier 5, and I don't see why people use the "against 2 tiers higher" argument since ships should be balanced against their peers, not 2 tiers higher! They also didn't do much individual balance changes in CBT because they believe they don't have many players to generate stats.. So hopefully they will see that sooner rather than later and nerf this ship together with Cleveland!

For someone who played Fubuki at CBT, I take my hat off to you sir for this excellent result! Please tell me your secret

IJN torps aren't that much better trust me, especially at high tiers, ships sacrifice so much maneuverability for just extra range on their torps! It seems WG have gone too far with their DD nerf so let's hope they do something about it soon.

fully upgraded Kongou and Fuso!
