Epicentre on Ocean

Like I said; I don't like the guns - I don't find them as good as others claim. Lots of overpens and not that many hits as I would expect from so-called accurate guns. I thought I'd get Champagne-like guns (6 accurate shells) - and not Gneisenau-like guns (6 overpens and misses). She'll be a port queen for me - I didn't even like her in Aegis

Tbh not too impressed with the HMS Repulse. Little to no armour and 6 wonky guns in my (limited) experience with her so far. The speed is nice though.

@Sebedie tried one with T-61 first. Got a "Ray" achievement with this one too. :edit: Did the Operation with the Fushun, got my 15 torpedo hits but no "Ray" achievement. I think it may be due to the torpedoes being DWTs. @YabbaCoe @Seraphice, I don't know if any of you are in a position to check up on this ?

Hi, I tried today and got the "Ray" achievement with the Anshan. I know they removed the "Universal Seaman" achievement from Operations (no idea why). Maybe the issue here is the same as with the CQC achievement for the Napoli ? DWTs don't count for the "Ray" achievement ? I'll test it.

they see me rollin', they hatin' ...

I don't think the ships are OP, but I do think they have too much going for them now. I think they shouldn't get Hydro; let that be the gimmick of the other KM BB line (one line gets torps, one line gets hydro) - or nerf the Hydro a bit.

The tinfoil hat is strong in this thread

I think I missed this one care to elaborate ?

obviously those friends had made some sacrifices just before starting the game to get better luck

I think it's more embarrassing to get hit by torpedoes that were spotted 3.5 to 4 km away.

You mean that they (the KM BBs/BCs) can see the torpedoes from miles away ?

reading is difficult :

"The thinking man's action game" Probably one of the best jokes in years.

Shouldn't be much of a problem since WG catered to all the BBabies by giving the new line one of the best hydros in the game. Facing a Heinrich, 2 Zieten and 2 Bismarck ? Good luck hitting any torpedo with your DD / CL / BB

Imo they should just remove the hydro from the KM BCs; the main KM BB line already gets the hydro. Or remove 1 set of torpedoes per side. Or increase the ship detection with 1km. At least something should be done imo, atm they have too much going for them compared to normal KM BBs.

Hi, I would consider myself a decent FR DD player, though I only play Le Terrible, Mogador, or Marceau. Since the Marceau is a bit different (in my opinion) than the tech tree DDs, I'll be considering the latter. This is my captain build : Preventive Maintenance and Last Stand, so you can have more room to play with your DCP. The former can also be useful when rushing ships (lower chance of torpedo tubes being incapacitated). Survivability Expert; kind of trivial. FR DDs have no heal, no smoke - you only have speed to manage your health points; having a bigger health pool to start with is a big advantage. (* this skill may be nerfed a bit in its current state compared to previous, but I still think it's a must-have) Adrenaline Rush; you will get shot at, you will get hit. You could take Main Battery and AA Specialist to have a higher RoF from the start, but I think AR is better. Concealment Expert; I like concealment on my DDs. Allows me to be more flexible vs other DDs or in ambush positions. Also allows more flexibility for torping. Fearless Brawler; I think this is a great buff in fights vs other DDs, but also when shooting at BBs from range. Main Battery and AA Expert; extra range for the guns, allows for safer "HE-spamming" (also makes it more comfortable engaging ships with long range secondary armament). These are the ship upgrades I use : Most of them are quite trivial imo; in the second slot you could go for the engine mod; in the third slot you could go for gun accuracy or torpedo speed if you want to, but I prefer the turret rotation mod.

that, or one of your captains is Zinovy Rozhestvensky ?

Between the listed 3, in my opinion : Kidd > Orkan > Lo Yang RN DDs I never really played a lot for some reason, so can't really comment on the Cossack; atm I prefer Le Terrible or Asashio / Harekaze.

Just check ammo type at the start of the battle ?

OP : I suggest you read the skills' descriptions before picking them.

What ?
