And it is hard to stealth fire with Benson, Fletcher and Gearing with their stealthier torps? The whole point of this thread is because WG made IJN DDs not suitable to play the objectives. Also saying they are easy to play? Every time I play Fubuki I feel like I'm busting my [edited]off compared to Amagi or Nagato. I was fine when I heard IJN DDs are getting shorter torps for more aggressive, yet rewarding playstyle. The problem is: the new playstyle is not rewarding at all, and IJN DDs has nothing unique with no advantages over the other 2 DD lines.

Well when you get to tier 5, that would be Zuiho for me. I finished her grind with 38% winrate.

Not sure why the big deal about this event. It's not like they have that every month nor the fact it is a super-awesome one anyway. Most of the nice stuff are on really time limit, around 3 days. Yeah it's nicer than what we get, but again it's like their own GNB. Considering they listen better to their community than our own listen to ours, it's obvious the events are more to the players' likings. If it's about the ship, then keep in mind we have Mikasa and no RU nor NA has her on sale. You can say anything you want about how bad she is (and I'd agree) but there are some who are still banging their heads wanting her.

The fact that USN also fulfill the roles that IJN used to do also doesn't help. IJN DDs always had the torpedo boat and stealth boat advantage, they also were either faster or just as fast. As soon as high tiers comes with the stealth module, all these advantages were reduced. USN not only has decent torps but they have advantages over the IJN torps too. The stealth difference between is minimezed a lot (400m between Kagero and Fletcher is nothing, and Shimakaze and Gearing ties in stealth) and Hatsuharu, Fubuki and Kagero are the slowest DDs in their tiers.

like 1k lower damage.... Fletcher even has better torps than Gearing. Honestly the fact Fletcher (and Benson) are too good is also part of the problem of why Kagero looks so bad.

I still need to learn more about how this mode works because so far, from what I have seen, I don't see the point. It seems like a domination mode that caters to campers and big gun and long range ships.

Shima doesn't look like anything I want to grind for anyway. I'm better off staying at the Fubuki. Also, It feels that for Kagero, the best torpedo option is the stock ones.

Is also the torpedo for Kamikaze, which in case the either nerf a premium ship (not gonna happen) or spare her from the nerf in which case we get yet another overpowered premium ship.

Nah it must be all in your head. Kagero is fine. Block Quote 1. Do you plan to do something regarding Japanese DD's and Tashkent ? Or have you decided they will remain as they are ? A. They will remain as they are. After all, there's no way a player who plays the actual ship would know about something more than a dev who doesn't even play his own game.

If I want a ship like that, there are far better options. Also not contesting caps is like giving up on winning for the team. If I want to play a ship that only does damage I might as well play BBs because that is their only contribution to the team.

If our all-knowing devs overlords that plays the game 24/7 and read every feedback from every player says IJN DDs are fine, then they are fine. Maybe they will change their minds in 3 years from now. I mean look at WoT, they are still fixing balance issues today that existed from way back before. Meanwhile, just play easy mod Yamato and soon to be buffed for the millionth time Montana and powercreep German BBs.

Imperator Nikolai.... That's about it

Do they actually think Kagero is fine?

I always found the "HE, no need to aim" argument to be funny. So you need to aim AP like 10 times more to hit? Please tell me more how hard AP is to aim.

More info on the Asian patch notes http://worldofwarships.asia/en/news/announcements/public-test-058-key-feature/

Same thing if you play PvP. As soon as you are spotted in a DD everyone starts shooting at you

They are good to use smartly. That said, dog fights with other DDs isn't how you use Fubuki smartly.

It's not just the team damage of secondaries that needs to go away, but the setting teammates on fire by them should also. They already seemed to have disabled team damage penalty from ramming.

Ever thought to make the free cam to track friendly torpedoes?

So I don't get it. Why change SA to work for the extra 3 seconds only to remove it one patch later? why not just remove it in 0.5.9 in the first place?

I tried Katori with new module. She's a lot better now compared to before. Her gun accuracy is now DD like and you can easily hit targets at your max range with all 4 shells. Since she outranges all tier 3 ships and some tier 4 even, I'd day Katori is fine now considering how easy to play the ship is an how low tier it is. Now if only they can give that module to Tenryuu

No need to give EU players free slots because how else will they fund WGs pockets i they don't pay money for them?

Sounds like an Izumo buff is coming. Also, he just said Atago is borderline OP and then he said they are not interested in selling better-than-regular premium ships. So much for your reputation.

If they can compensate having worse AA, then why not? The reason this ship is OP is because it was overcompensated for the lack of AA. WG just doesn't need to make the same mistake and compensate them accordingly. It doesn't matter who plays Myogi or Wyoming anyway. Your AA guns won't save you from any carrier, your rudder and sticking to your team will.

Not sure why AA at that tier is of any importance. Myogi and Wyoming, you have the better AA at tier 4, are performing worse than Arkansas and Nikolai who has the worse AA of them.
