The Hatsuharu class was a failed attempt to make a cheaper Fubuki class. They were extremely top heavy and had structural weaknesses in the Hull. After the Tomozuru incident, they were modified to remedy these problems, including the removal of one of her torpedo launchers.

I'm inclined to say it is a neccesary evil. But damm, you have to recognize most of the times there is only filth in the game chat...

Well, it wasn't that she torped New Orleans but that she was the flagship. Plus she's cute in Kancolle.

Battle of Tassafaronga.

Mogami is much better than Myoko, spexially for manouvering around so keep going at it.

Sail in your mighty Eire and see then burn with HE.

Hurray for Naganami! And they keep saying that torps are OP in this game.

Yuubari, the worse ship of the preorder pack gets its speed and secondaries ninjanerfed. Meanwhile, Gremiaschy is still the same. Why WG? This is pure malice.

OP does have a point about type of contact. Ships shouldn't explode in fireworks just by mutually kissing with their bows.

I'll hold my love until OBT when the devs really show us how they want the game to be.

Please, guide me to that Arcadia.

USN cruisers are sturdier and harder to citadel. They fare well at long distance fights against cruisers and BBs where their design make then survive better. Against DDs they are as good as any other cruiser except the New Orleans and Baltimore thanks to their limited number of turrets which make then a bit more harder to lead the target. At medium ranges they lose their advantage because the shots are still plunging and the reduced distance makes it easier to pinpoint their citadels. At close distance it becomes in a brutal knifefight: They excel in close distance against BBs thanks to their superior turret traverse and that they resist secondary armament better. On close distance against an IJN CA, the ISN CA struggles thanks to the torpedoes and that both can basically shotgun each other to death. IJN CA are fragile, they've got bigger citadels and lighter armor which make then prone to receive a lot of damage if you don't plan ahead. Their strenght lies in its lower concealment, superior speed and torps. At long distance an IJN CA struggles, it has the same damage potential as an USN CA but it MUST dodge or otherwise can lose its health quickly. This is both for enemy CAs or BBs. A IJN CA can be the bane of destroyers: more turrets means better lead and torps can be a nasty surprise for then too. At medium distance an IJN CA becomes equal to an USN CA, but it can use torps which can tip the balance to its favor. At short distance, the torps will definetly be handy against anything.

In an ideal world BBs should also have a limit per match. That would automatically make then a valuable asset and DDs and CAs would fight to prptect then fromtheir natural enemies, the DDs and CVs. Right now we only see few DDs in battle but imagine having 3 or 4 Shimakazes per team. BBs, with their numbers limited would be the most valuable asset for a team since the loss of one could be a huge problem. Right now, one BB more, one BB less is highly irrelevant. But that would never happen because all the fanboys pick BBs and consequentially will whine if their numbers are limited even though some, if not a large part of then may find that their true call is in another class.

Yank or nip, they are still unholy beasts.

Implying 155mm are bigger than 203 mm. Implying you are a man by using the unholy beasts.

Be a man and use Minekaze and Myoko for that!

I sincerely think Staines that you are simply stomping average or bad players. If I, that had never played carriers until now, can get on the top 5 with consistency and using the balanced set-up it just can mean that enemies aren't exactly brilliant. Add to the lulz that I end up shooting down ludicrous amount of aircraft each match: Bettwen 20-30 is normal, Yesterday I shot down 49 with a Hiryuu. Granted, I've got captain skills and modules to buff my fighters but still.

Hey Whiskey, the [edited]are you doing playing with a Cleveland? You are not my friend anymore!

Perhaps I should try Kamikaze set-up then.

Because if you encounter an USN CV with fighters you are basically crap? Your fighters at least can help you distract USN fighters. Unless the USN CV is [edited]

Well, for starters, my chances at killing stuff with CAs are rathet bad in this World of Battleships. Furthermore my survability is the worse since I'm a CA. In contrast, with skill, a CV can kill any class and they are the last to be killed on a team since they are the least exposed class of all. You basically can kill anything and have more time to kill anything.

Man, right now you rule because USN carriers got this lame set ups but if you ever encounter even a Lexington with corsairs they'll just rape your [edited]. 126 damage on Lex fighters against your 96 damage fighters. And let's not talk about extra planes per squadron, captain skills and equipments.

This post is like me saying Zao is OP since I usually make mincemeat of a Des Moines on a 1 Vs 1. Before the patch I even managed to fight 2 Des Moines at the same time on Senjo. Sank the first one and could have sank the second one if a Yamato from his division hadn't showed up and saved his [edited]making me retreat. Even so, the second ended with less HP than me despite both being at full health when the duel started.

You don't like Suzuya? You don't like Kumano?! YOU DON'T LIKE KUMARIN... MIKUMA?!?!?! Your pleb taste knows no bounds!
