Problem with IJN is their torps might be good but their angles often suck.... IMO their best cruiser other than Zao is the Universal Soldier AKA Atago and you need to pay for it or have been playing during the ARP Takao give away. It has almost 360 degree torp coverage, decent guns and heal. It's probably a bit P2W, hard to beat at T8. You "could" just buy one and learn it.

I'm not amazing at DDs but I've learned how to use them, I am probably good at all classes but can't say to be unicum or anything... Other players ruining your fun is a bit arrogant however no? Every player has the same right to be in a game than you. Yes there are some completely stupid and 1 sided land slide games but that's just how Random Battles work. If you play in a division of good folk you can bend the MM your way far more often if you really don't enjoy being facerolled. And you should probably just accept easy stomp wins rather than let it make you angry. Besides, even in a bad game you can always do your best. Not everyone plays this seriously and some don't care/or are even too stupid to learn but it's a bit wrong to be hating on them so bitterly.

The abundance of radar is an utter pain but it can be played around. You simply assume your detection is that of the radar cruiser's max radar range and you don't fire your guns at all costs. Hopefully there's a radar cruiser on your team too nearby. Even if you are spotted, you GTFO and run. Most times you should get away and you should hope your team is shooting what you've spotted. It can suck having to play so chicken as a DD but not every cruiser has radar and you can work to getting them killed then it's normal service afterwards.

You main German BB it appears. Maybe it's time to learn how to DD instead of complaining about others? You've got some really nasty things to say about other players but you can address the problem by playing that class instead of blaming others. I dislike playing a lot of BB these days because there is a part of the game that they cannot involve themselves much in. Perhaps you'll learn something new about the game a long the way...

There's an Aslain mod that shows the Ranks and pink'ed folk on both teams on the loading screen/tab display.

Personally I wouldn't buy a T8 tank or play anything above T6 (maybe T7)... A lot talk about how bad the top tier meta is, it's like here but worse as everyone uses gold ammo as some tanks are almost impossible to pen without it.

I think you have unreasonable rage... The common denominator in all your games is you. This is pretty much a troll thread.

WG has not explained the use of hydro very well... It is primarily an Anti Torpedo tool, it will give you advanced warning of when torps are coming. You won't know this until you play a lot of games with and without Hydro, only then will you notice the difference. Forget about Hydro detecting ships, it only really works when something is in smoke as you'll see them a bit sooner but not in open water.

Spotting mechanics are more lol when you consider you can change your own detection range by fitting stock FCS

Lol you mean that black Chrysler thing? Best way to deal with higher tiers is not to play them. Stop at T5/T6, there are plenty of tanks to enjoy at those tiers.

Try Moskva on the PT sometime and see for yourself... It's an extremely powerful ship. Almost like a T10 Battlecruiser. I'd go as far to say it could beat all BB T7 or less 1v1 with either HE or AP.

I imagine one day it'll be a reward ship or be sold again as it's average to bad. WG won't be breaking anything by selling it again. I've only played my Miksas once, Tachi a handful of times and Katori no more than about 5 times lol...

Yes, DDs are arguably the hardest ship class to play well. BB players will often find games just "go well" and won't even realise it's because of well played DDs. Problem is DD mistakes will utterly crush you. Fire your guns at the wrong time and one HE hit will knock out modules, cause fires etc WG's stealth fire change, whilst I personally find it fine. It's made a lot of DD players run scared. For every bad player on your team, there will likely be others on the opposite side who you can exploit. Whilst this might makes you lazy and bottom feeding, it's the game we are stuck in unless you want to play Ranked or some sort of clan competition.

That's not really your problem. As they're just as likely to be on the other team. Folk care too much about what others do... Do your own role well and you'll get results.

Good DDs are vital towards a successful team. I don't really accept anyone whining about them however. If you have an issue with DDs being bad then play one yourself. Likewise with any of the classes. Or at least find a DD friend who will smoke you and torp ships...

This ship looks superficially very similar to the Italian T6 Prem job. Although that one has better AP. I have neither mind

Won a Speed Boost module last night which is actually quite good...

Two Seasons of hitting R1 in Ranked teaches you things... Like staying alive, awareness and overall control of a game.

No map control with 1/1/1 Indie however more forgiving planes. T6 CVs are far more knife edged as they can't afford losses like T7+ ones.

How on earth do some of you have so many!? You folk need to go outside

That isn't true. A good BB player will know when to push as at closer ranges is where the real damage is dealt... So AP bombs will make USN CVs possibly great BB killers, which shouldn't be their primary goal anyway?

If Sims had powerful stealth torps she would be OP, the 9.2km torps are there to deny smoke campers mostly. And yes, it's very specialised. Certainly not a first Prem DD. In fact I had mine for months before I used her properly in Ranked. If you are thinking of buying it then be patient with it, don't reveal yourself for the sake of a salvo. You're there to screen your team and killing is secondary.

Sims is specialist. Almost like it was made for Ranked... Don't forget she's able to dodge shells far better than Eastern bloc DDs (has.spinning turrets that can keep up with anything), said rudder makes Sims almost impossible to reliably torp, has USN smokes and the gun DPM is pretty high. I'll admit it's only OK when in Random Battles as there's ships that can force a game better. I'm a little of practice but Sims was viable in T9 games coming straight from winning Ranked in her.

Part of the issue is that AA isn't usually buffed on a lot of ships. But farm enough ships and people will start equipping for AA again.

I'd agree with no Prem Ranked even tho both my R1 wins are with Prem ships. The right Prem ship literally buys you advantages.
