Can't wait! Whats the muzzle velocity on the Wave Motion Engine gun?

I think the New Orleans is massively underrated. A ~9km surface detection with 9km radar is a very powerful combination, thank goodness you never see them around.

It does seem to happen more frequently since the last patch. I've had 3 detonations in a row sailing Tashkent and 3 out of my 10 games in Gearing have been full HP detonations at the start (looked like the shells missed a few times) Still, it's a million times less annoying than getting your turrets knocked out.

It's worth noting Fuso HE will do that to all battleships. The first salvo usually saps the bow compartment with 33% damage rounds, that's almost 1900 per shell (superstructure it's probably taking 16.5% by now) You only need 5 hits to do 10k.

How about James T?

They're all good but I'd go for... US destroyers (Gearing) IJN cruisers (Zao) IJN Battleships (Yamato)

Gremyashchy can do everything but if you want a pure HE spammer Izy is your gal Izyaslav Gremyashchy Gnevny Anshan HE DPM 10,000 10,133 8533 8533 HE Broadside 1500 1425 1200 1200 Fires per minute (With DE) 3.7 3.3 3 2.5

Fully upgraded tier 10 destroyers agasint beginners with tier 8 premium ships.

Yesterday I purchased Izy to confirm the data, 14 fires and 83k damage later... Time to grind a captain with Demolition Expert for a spot of Imperator Nikolai I and Kaiser balancing Now, where's a premium Russian destroyer when you need it Just for fun here's Błyskawica stats with her 4" MkXVI gun upgrade (values from Warspite mounts) Flint is number 11

It includes BFT but not Main Battery Modification 3 (tier 9+ equipment)

Yep.

Higher tier ships have a better fire resistance, Kiev is better for roasting fresh bratwurst 130mm HE got nerfed, 4 gun variants have has less DPS (8533) broadside (1200) and fire chance (1.9/2.9) than my number 1 pick.

Yes, how do you balance carrier (players) agasint each other and make it fun for all? No-one wants to see viceadmiral123 vs SkybuckFlying. My only solution for random battles is 9 ships + carrier vs 12 ships and make AA a bit less effective.

Don't forget the target ship will have over 60 seconds to press WASD until the torpedoes hit if you fire them at 9-10km. Hatsuharu is a fantastic destroyer, I love mine. Here's some tables some might find interesting. Torpedoes. Guns

I get sunk all the time by radar. Usually by someone using it at random (noob Moskva pushed the wrong button) and a gaggle of IJN cruisers decloak at 9km like vultures on a dead carcass. Destroyers should get radar to help spot IJN cruisers.

Interesting, any links on the Vickers 4.7"/50 G? Wonder if it was it related to the Mark XI.

Awesome!

We got smashed! A standard battle on 'Big Race' is terrible for slow ships, next time we should camp behind the islands at spawn and wait I absolutely love Mikasa.

Glorious and very honourable!

Finally!

Yep, they're beautiful. Gimme! Here's a comparison of tier 6 destroyer weapon systems. Douro class: 8 x Mk IX torpedoes (9.6km, 57 knots, 15,500 damage) 4 x 4.7"/45 QF Mark IX (8200 DPM) Farragut B hull: 8 x Mark 12 torpedoes (6.4km, 64 knots, 11,733 damage) 5 x 5"/38 Mk21 (12250 DPM) Anshan: (Ognevoi has same DPM with suicide torpedoes) 8 x Mark 12 torpedoes (8km, 60 knots, 14,400 damage) 4 x 130 mm/50 (8500 DPM) Mutsuki: 6 x Type8 mod. 2 torpedoes (10km, 59 knots, 16,266 damage) 2 x 120 mm/45 Type3 (4200 DPM) Ambuscade (tier 5) 6 x Mk IV (Same as Campbeltown but centre mounted) 4 x 4.7"/45 BL Mark I (4100 DPM)

I assume Yakov Sverdlov (Novik) will be a tier 4 premium at one point?

C hull Benson = free C hull Benson with crazy expensive tier 8 premium camo you can't use with other US captains = 3000 doubloons C hull Benson with crazy expensive tier 8 premium camo you can't use with other US captains and the hydroacoustic consumable = 8000 doubloons That's way too much, even a destroyer captain like me. Maybe one of the Gleaves-class (Benson with round smoke stacks) transferred to ROC? Na, I want to use it with my US DD captains.

Z34 is MILES too powerful for tier 6. It's much, much larger than Farragut (3200 deep tons vs 2000 deep tons, 325 crew vs 250 etc) The 5 x 12.7cm guns are better than US equivalents agasint surface targets, even with a low HE alpha like 1600. Adding 8 x G7a torps is just icing on the cake. Raubtier class could be epic at tier 6 with G7a torps (8km, 61 knots, 7.6s reaction time or the 6km setting) and much better than Mutsuki (10km, 59 knots, 10s reaction time) What would be the surface detection with CE? 5km?? Hehe, fun times! T6: Raubtier (T24) T7 Z34 T8: Z36 T9: Narvik (1936A) T10: Z45
