well after 5k+ battles i believe i know enough about this game. what do you expect from your team to do if you dont spot them. do your job first and than expect the others to do their jobs.

shimakaze is still most played tier X DD acording to the statistics that you shared in another thread. I didnt play WoT so i have no idea what the problem is. but they stated the reason clearly. and are you a secret authority here? WG devs have more statistics than you can ever reach. however you didnt need that many statistics to understand that shima needed a change since we were getting 5-6 IJP DDs in every single battle. anyways hats not the topic here. nope he cant. at long range exp. IJP DDs gun arc is much much better than USN ones and that gives them at long range a big advantage.

shimakaze is also a good ship. differet playstyles.

What i told up there were DDs job. If a dd player does those, it means he does well. What is that "letting DDs be in charge". Than do the right thing as a DD and spot the enemy DDs. Put them under pressure.

Main goal is winning the battle. All of those things make your team to win the battle. So DDs have bigger impact on game than any other class.( execpt CVs) Dont engage with IJP DDs at close range than. Shima is faster than geaeing. You can easly run away from him. RU DDs are detected miles away before they spot you. If you play right, there is no problem with shima. About hakuryu i can talk about the cv players i know. When i div up with them, they perform amazing with hakuryu. So i suggest you to grind your tier 10s.

And did you read something before? I said "decent kagero players and decent mahan players". Btw player factor is the biggest factor in this game. On forums people are whining just because they cant play that ship. I even saw people calling buff for yamato. If a guy is capable of doing grat work with a ship, it means that the ship is capable enough. If someone can kill mahan with a kagero but you cant, problem is not about the ship, its about you. Because ship is capable of killing it.

DDs affect the game by many aspects not just with the damage they do. spotting, smoking allies, capping, making enemy turn and show broadside to allies... but BBs can affect the game only by the damage they do. so it doesnt make any sense to compare DD and BB damage.

there are bad players. i saw fuso sinks amagi many times. but that doesnt mean amagi is worse than fuso. so mahan can kill the kagero if kagero players doesnt know how to shoot. but decant kagero player can easly kill decent mahan player.

angle your ship, try to dodge shells. this is how you limit the damage.

i see but its just bad luck sometimes. once i was in division with a friend. he was sailing his atago with DE and i was sailing chapayev. i ended that battle with 25 fires. he got only 3. (he knows definitely how HE works. )

you can take every backup from your division. it wont work. every ship on tier 5-6 outrange st louis. so you have to get close. to give back up, your division mates should also come close. what happens after? 3 ships die in seconds.

[quote name=Pajosaurus" timestamp="1465509304" post="1090154] Sorry if the answer to this already exists. I've just acquired 15th point on my US DD captain so I respecced it to get Concealment (of course). While I was at it, I decided to exchange DE for extra HP. Over the course of the last 3 games, I've landed over 400 HE shells and managed to start a grand total of 3 fires. First game: 200 shells, 1 fire; second game: 100 shells, 2 fires; 3 game: 100 shells, 0 fires. This is way WAY too crazy to be pure chance, I think, and it happened right after the respec. I'd like to add that I was usually firing at ships that hadn't been already burning, so it isn't that either. (In fact, one was of those games was a crazy base defense where I was reseting 4 or 5 ships by myself for quite a while). Is there a bug here somewhere? i dont think there is a bug about it. i have it on my chapayev and everytime i sail her, i get min 19-20 fires. try to hit superstructure, not the armor of the ship.

hakuryu or midway can easly take down a fully AA montana. it is weird that some people can attack BBs but some cant.

what the hell! do you really want to be able to show him your braodside but take minimum damage? funny.

you dealed that damage on lower tier BBs.

omg that simond guy. cant find anything to say just epic...

you cn limit the damage by changing route and speed. you can also limit it by angling. you can also alim for guns and take them out. yamato without front turrents is almost useless.

montana is a moble ship. it is fast and turns faster. use it. dont sit against a yamato bow to bow. keep changing your route. and pick your targets wise. there can be a yamato siting by showing its bow to you. but you can find much better target. if there is no other targets and if you cant damage that yamato with ap, switch ammo. shoot he. it deals good damage and you get many fires.

why shouldnt there be a service cost?you use your ship in randoms and co-op. they are the same. armored warfare is not a wg game. if you like it more,noone is holding you here to play wows.

its funny to see people talking about a ship without having any experience in it. if its so OP, grind it. grind it and show us how OP it is. yamato and montana, both have advantages and both have disadvantages. i suggest you to play them first and than talk. and stop that tier 11 crap. they are both good ships, they both fit tier 10, and they are well balance due tostrong and weak sides they have. IMO montana is a better ship. and some people always forget that bbs can also shoot he. if you are having issues with damaging yamatos with montana ap, switch to he, and you can get 10k+ salvos with fires. and yamato has short damage control time. fire from you next salvo will stay if he repairs fire from first salvo.

you are still talking about playing montana like a yamato. it has different play style.if you sit with a montana against a yamato, you die. but it doesnt mean that montana is weak or yamato is OP. and you can limit the damage by angling.

Its not because of the extra gun. If they had the same overpens, you would blow up that cas with both of them. But you can deal 10 to 15k damage with yamato. Its not because of extra tirrent power. Its because yamato gets more overpens.

it wasnt hax, it was your poor aiming. post the replay and let us watch where you aimed.

no he wouldnt ask for montana nerf. because he has an iowa and he is gonna get montana. guess why is he whining about shima here. yes you knew it, it is his only tier X ship.
