As it goes on the same slot as concealment it is not worth it. Without CSM1, YY concealment is 6.5km which means every T8-T10 DD will outspot you, except some Soviet DDs. Considering that Haragumo and Kitakaze will both have better concealment and comparable RoF with Slot 6 module and that starting test values for RN Daring are 2.5sec reload without module and 5.5km-ish concealment, YY would be in disadvantage against them as those, and almost all other high tiers DDs, will have initiative over you. You are also loosing 5% of additional dispersion when enemy is shooting at you, which mean they will be slightly more accurate when they targeting you, and 15% or radar duration which means 17sec radar duration. Even with Radar module it will still have below 20sec radar time. I don't think it is worth to sacrifice all that for more DPM.

From a technical side if you want to turn Boise/Nuevo de Julio in any other ship than her in either of her iteration that would require some changes of ship model, particularly her bridge. Even releasing ship as Boise would require some small changes like return of aft plane catapults. While I'm sure this all could be done relatively fast I doubt WG will do that. Why WG choose NdJ instead of Chilean O'Higgins or Brazilian Barroso is unknown. Maybe Tamandare will be regular ship so they wanted something somewhat unique and different nation ship for premium. That would still leave O'Higgins which IMO would be better option as there is much more options for Argentinian premium ships but very limited for other nations from the South America. For example Veinticinco de Mayo could be a nice T5 premium while it would be difficult to put it in regular tree while keeping any meaning of consistency. I agree that Nuevo de Julio has some infamous history while under Argentinian flag but I'm glad that it is not a Belgrano. Not because I'm British or so know anyone who served in the Falklands but simple because Belgrano is famous for one and one thing only - any conversation about her on any forum has very high chance to become both toxic and offensive. I'm not particularly happy with NdJ but I think that WG tried here to go with less controversial choice. Seems like both choice were equally bad. Still between those two I would prefer NdJ simple because it could result in less flamed chat conversations than Belgrano. Sure I would prefer US ship over South American simple because i have many US captains which I could use while on the other side I would need to create totally new 14pt captain for effective usage of the ship and I'm far from be enthusiastic about that. But I don't mind that some of South American countries get their premium. Who knows maybe with time there will be US Brooklyn class premium cruiser, quite possible as there were only three classes of US CLs that are not added/available as US ships, Brooklyn class, Juneau class which is basically a modified Atlanta Class, and Fargo class which is basically a modified Cleveland class.

I watched Flamu while playing her on twitch and couple of videos on YT from other CCs. Her concealment is absolutely amazing (or disgusting if you want) with 5.1km, her gun arcs are not that good but nice, HE deals less damage then Haida, torps are same as Haida just 2km longer range. She is currently ultimate spotter with that ridicules concealment but her torps are lacking. Her AA rating is 9 i think so she can't do anything against them except maybe shout to them to go away. She doesn't look as strong as Aki or Kidd but with 8 guns she doesn't look weak either. She is probably the most famous Tribal class DD. Some were more decorated like Nubian and Eskimo but none was as well known as Cossack. So I wouldn't expect anything else from a fine DD captain as you than to add this beautiful ship to your fleet.

I'll wait and see what will be with Cossack. It is too much for to buy both Cossack and Haida even tho I would like both but between those two, currently I would benefit more from Cossack than Haida considering that RN DDs will probably arrive somewhere in the Autumn and availability of 10+pts captains. Also Nuevo de Julio with a heal now looks quite attractive and I always wanted a Brooklyn class cruiser, even if she is under "wrong" flag. I definitely intend to buy Haida but probably it won't be this time. Still I have until 20th this month to change my mind.

Did it in my second game with Shino on Trident in one of my the stupidest games ever. During the game I did only 1k damage to Fubuki but that gave me 2 defence ribbons. Capped A for the final ribbon. It was standard rollover with my team only loosing one ship. For the moment I thought that I won't have time to finish capping. Stupid game but at least this mission is done.

Mejash make a good review of the ship He also raises some question considering Haida's 5.7km concealment in relation with IJN DDs and I agree with him on this. I think that this is just another nerf to IJN DDs generally and Shira particularly. Anyhow I torn with this ship, I want to buy her but her being Commonwealth ship is keeping me away, for now. I definitely have intention to buy her eventually.

Well that is a great idea. Resource to increase your Commander performance, maybe decrease it if you use too much

If we talk about more realistic radar than this is how it works. And spotting with radar is not a same as visually spotting from ships or a plane. With radar nobody is spotting a ship, you only have its reflection on radar screen. If you want to bend the facts for this than what is a problem with radar going through land mass. I personally have more issues with duration of radar and stupid cases where radar range is greater than concealment of ships with radar than radar mechanic as it is now in the game. This is just a current meta with all those new US radar cruisers but it will loose sooner or latter. Now if just WG could restrain themselves and not strap a radar on every new line or premium ship that would be great.

Well if I buy Haida then I would need to use commander XP to bring captain to at least 10pt. I had other plans with my Commander XP but seem like I'll have to change them. I have Vampire but I didn't play T3-T4 seems PA DD grind in November or December. Not sure I want it now because leveling captain using lower tiers require more time. Mayybe combination of Commander XP and Vampire could work.

I got Monaghan mission from container from Indianapolis Marathon. So far played it only in scenarios and with A hull. She is not a bad ship but you really feel that one gun less than Farragut. "Meh" would be probably the best description for her. Between her and Sims I would choose Sims every time. I'll wait for Haida as she seems like nice ship. My only problem is that I only have one Commonwealth captain and he only have 6 pts. Cossack would be fine too.

Well I could be wrong about that, I was under impression that DD sizes were increased in game, now not sure about that.

0 still and 37.7k of coal. So it will be a looooooong way to Salem, unless something more interesting pop up by the time I get 180k of coal (counting on that 25% coupon).

IRL both radar and hydro could work permanently. Also by mid war many warships had them, almost every US Navy ship have radar. Radar didn't make ships that are not visible by eye actually visible by eye. And there were different radars and not all of them had PPI scope Basically realistic radar should work only in open, should give you range and direction but not make ship visible unless it is already visible, should work permanently and could be traced back to its origin, should be less effective in storms. But then again IRL destroyers were smaller then those in the game but them it would be harder to hit them. Also many other things should work different when compared with RL. So why change one thing to resemblance more with the real thing but leave others unchanged?

Ok if that is your opinion. If I have it on any Soviet ship would still use it on any radar ship as it is a still better that other options. Increased radar duration will not just help you but your team. Even a small increase is better than none. I'll keep mine on YY, 24sec is still better than 20sec. But it is ok if you prefer something else.

Explain how it is now useless for Soviet Cruisers? It still increase radar duration don't it? Do you think that other options on that slot are more viable now than radar module?

I wouldn't count on that. Those were submerged single-torpedo launchers. Lot of BBs from that time have them but WG decided not to implement them on any ship.

Unless WG decrease max DD armour to 13mm, Jutland and Daring will require IFHE to pen T8-T10 DDs hull with HE.

Even with fictional upgrade, Battle class should still have only one stack not two. Also image for Daring is the same as for Jutland.

Ship on WG image is definitely a Daring Class DD not a Battle Class. Unless WG's Jutland is not Battle Class at all but some preliminary design for Daring class.

Even with different gun turrets, Battle class is still had a single stack and different bridge. Ship on WG image has two stacks.

I think that DD on the image is a Daring class not Battle class - HMS Jutland

6s gun reload, slower than Kiev or even T7 Jervis and 8km torps at tier which will see so much radar ships. She is neither gunboat or torpedoboat or particularly good hybrid. Somehow I doubt this stats will stay.

You can get items in daily containers. If you open two or all three containers, no matter which one, you can daily get one or two items.

Well with 13 point something km range, Boise could definitely find heal useful. Boise sacrifice quite a lot for that radar, but I think that just replacing radar whit heal could make this ship more interesting and possibly a somewhat better. There is a lot of criticism of WG because increased number of radar ship and wonder if this is their response on that.

Creating a mixed line of BBs, CLs and DDs would be a bad idea as that would require leveling three different captains which would time consuming to get them to 10pt not to mention 19pt. Austro-Hungary and Yugoslavia Navies could be put in one Southern Europe or Mediterranean Tree or in Pan European Tree. Trying to put every single European nation in its own tree will result in large number of paper, if not completely imaginary, ships. Sure every nation probably have some ships designs that were never realized but are those appropriate for this game is completely different thing. I doubt that Yugoslavia or Greece or Turkey ever designed ships that could match Des Moines or Hindenburg at T10. One tree that will combine several nation would have more sense. Greece and Turkey had used Fletcher, Allen M Sumner and Gearing class destroyers, Spain also had Fletchers, Yugoslavian Split is also candidate for T8 regular of premium ship. All those nation could combine one good DD line, cruiser line would be questionable above T7, BB line above T5 or T6. On its own even the DD line would be hard to complete.
