Ich habe bei der Skåne das Gefühl, das sich hier so langsam der Spielstil der Paneuropäischen DDs herauskristallisiert - hin zum Torpedoboot. Kanonen: 2x2 120mm mit kurzer Nachladezeit sind zwar ganz nett, jedoch muss deutlich mehr Breitseite gezeigt werden als bei der Västerås, der Alphaschaden ist geringer und ebenso die Mündungsgeschwindigkeit. Wer auf Gunboat und DD Duelle im Cap aus ist, kann also ruhig bei T6 stoppen, wobei auf die Skåne hier keinesfalls schlecht ist. AA: Die Vispy war ganz okay, Västerås hatte nicht viel zu Lachen aber mit der Skåne scheint die AA langsam Wirkung zu zeigen. In der Regel fahre ich brav mit abgeschalteter AA. Sobald ich detektiert werde, lassen AA + Sector Flugmaschinen vom Himmel regnen. Eine wahre Genugtuung, wenn man wie ich parallel die Vauquelin fährt... Torpedos: Los geht's! 12km Torps mit 80kts GEschwindigkeit! Oh yeah! Lasset die Spiele beginnen! Alles in allem ist die Skåne ein tolles Schiff und erzeugt ordentlich Vorfreude auf den Rest der Linie :-)

Ich denke, dass es an dieser stelle nichts zu überlegen gibt!!! Die Benson ist so ziemlich in jedem Punkt der Mahan überlegen! Sie ist unsichtbar > Mahan nicht so sehr!! Bis auf 6.4km (mit Upgrade)... optimale Jagdbedingungen gegen Fubukis. Sie ist schnell > Mahan nicht so sehr!! Mit Fähnchen locker 40 Knoten. Bessere Torps (mehr Schaden als Mahan)

Looks like it is not that squishy after all despite that paper thin armor.

Not dubloons, add credits to the rewards! To be honest, my only motivation in spamming ranked is the 1 million at rank 6 and the 2 million at rank 2! And that even though that 3 million reward is pathetic. But I desperately need credits since I do not have premium and want to buy the Benson/Ibuki...

Obviously you did not major physics either :-P It is true that the shell has a higher speed and thus a higher kinetic energy when exiting the barrel! But it has a very similar diameter then the other ships shells and thus probably similar aerodynamic drag. With its lower mass it is more likely to slow down midair then the higher mass counterparts. So in order to make a conclusion about the impact velocity, we would have to go much further into detail and cannot take the exiting velocity alone as an indicator for penetration! How far WG implemented those physics? no clue! probably not as detailed. But your statement, that he missed physics in school was plain rude! Greetings and meet you at sea :-)

When I play a DD I try to always pay attention to the minimap. What I noticed is: Sometimes the enemy CV Torp Bomber or Dive Bomber Icon flashes on the minimap for less than half a second. Soon after the corresponding planes arrive at that location. Is it possible, that when the enemy CV gives the command to his planes, the exact location on the minimap gets highlighted for the enemy team for a fraction of a second? I started to avoid those sections where I noticed the Icon flash and that has helped alot in not get spotted by airplanes as a DD! Additionally when sitting in a cruiser I started sailing towards those location for AA support. Worked great as well. I am not sure if this has been reported yet or if it is a feature and not a bug. Thus I just leave this topic here for discussion.

I think the bug is not the critical engine failure, but rather that you did not receive any damage. Similar things happen quite frequently with dive bombers, where the ship is set on fire + 6 hits or something but receives no damage from the bombs.

Imagine a Minekaze with Camo vs. a Minekaze without! Those 150ish meter are free time to launch torpedos and set up your weapons to shoot first. Same with IJN DD vs USN DD. Playing USN I find it very frustrating when a Minekaze appears only far below 6km. 100 bazillion torps are heading in my direction before I even spot them. So yeah, 3% is nothing and 8k is expensive. But even 3% can give you that slight advantage that is needed in some situations.
