Hello all, I am playing almost exclusively destroyers and I often encounter problems with enemy rocket planes. No matter the maneuvers I try, they score a hit almost always. I have tried moving towards and away from them, turning, showing broadside, showing bow etc. but nothing really seems to work. Now is there a way to make it harder for those planes to hit me or should I just accept the fact that most rocket attacks will succeed? Now I get that ships of my team can give air support but it seems counter productive to stay close to your teammates when playing a destroyer. If anyone has any tips for me, that would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks everyone for the quick replies. DD's are the only thing I am currently having fun with so not playing this class is no option though! I will focus more on not getting spotted in the first place as well. Thanks for your extended reply. But I want to ask you if you could briefly elaborate on this comment you made. What makes that showing the side towards Tiny Tim rockets is effective? Does that make them over penetrate of some sort?

Very nice score ... what do you think what tactics work best in case of the Aoba? I personally found myself often hunting for destroyers, and damaging other cruisers and BB wherever I can.

Some more clearness on this subject from WG would be nice ... but it is how it is. From my experience, whenever I just took a large amount of damage (AP hits from another BB, torp attacks etc.) the repair consumable works the best and restores a significant amount of HP. That's all I can tell you.

How good are the Nagato's secondaries compared with the secondary armament of the earlier Japanese battleships? It all seems to be the same combination of 127mm dual purpose guns and 155mm casemate guns. I've got the module which adds 20% range to the secondaries and I almost have the crew skill which adds another 20% range to both secondaries and AA. But since I never seem to get significant damage with my secondaries, I start to wonder if choosing for these particular upgrades is the right choice.

Aye fellow captains, Does anyone have a clue what these things are? I've seen them on both American and Japanese ships, from destroyer to aircraft carrier. I tried to figure it out myself but I didn't found much of an satisfying answer ... are they spare anchors, some extraordinary type of anti-ship rocket, or something much less spectactular, which is the most likely ... haha. - Dave

Thanks for the replies! It all makes sense now. Also makes me wondering again if naval mines would ever possibly become a thing in WoW...
