And neither they had Grozovoi, Montana, Daring, and so on, and so on.

It`s got a US DD smoke generator. Flint is essentially the Atlanta done right. You can park anywhere rather than behind some islands, and you also get actually useful torpedoes. Moreover the only thing you have to give up for that is a loss of one turret/side (you can fire 6 rather than 7 per broadside), and a little bit of AA.

You know it`s the weekend when you have to cuddle enemy loliboat to death, and you completly miss a stationary, broadside Donskoi at 7km (guess i didn`t buy enough lootboxes )

If you want to play randoms, then it`s ok to go AP-only, and get i.e. BFT instead. Especially on weekend, when general stupidity is at it`s weekly highest. HE does give you more flexibility, but if you don`t have to use it, then why use it? It`s a different story if you want to take it to the CB environment - not that it`s the most viable DD for CB.

I wonder why it might be so... ...meanwhile at WG HQ:

Getting a win on weekend is somewhat tricky for me :/

I find the lack of anime catgirls in Zipangu disturbing.

Game is very unforgiving, and often unfair for DD players. There are many bad players as with every other class, but in other ships you: Don`t get overpenned with a single shell for third to half of your HP. Don`t have enemies that can instagib you as soon as you spot them (wooster please). Don`t rely completly on other players for survival (GL playing against any good CV) Can take fire from any ship for reasonable amount of time.

I vote for buff (or preferably a rework of this line), because abundance of "balanced" consumables aswell as popularity of certain cancers known as Daring, and Wooster make DDs such as old IJN branch completly unplayable. You have to get close to get any chance of landing torpedoes on a target that isn`t AFK, and if you do actually torp somebody you have about 20 seconds left to live, because now you are spotted by 5 radars and a hydro (or CV if you have that one friend which didn`t hear about ships with 2000+ AA dps yet). I think it`s more about issues with game mechanics than actual strenght of a ship. While CV rework is on the way, we might aswell try and convince WG to make radar and hydro obey the laws of physics, and stop going through islands. The other thing i blame for a sorry state of torpedoboats is the dreaded "Spotted" marker which i.e. makes hunting down CV impossible, because as soon as you can see him he will be notified. It helps people determine an exact position, and/or prescence of enemy DD, which again - makes landing torpedoes even harder, because they know when to stay on alert, and/or activate their "skill equalizers" (radar). You can represent it as an assasin trying to sneak up on someone, but first calling his target that he`s about to sneak up on him. Who doesn`t like the challange?

No screen this time, but anyway... I`ve been clubbing in my V-25 as usual (free flags! ), ended up with 6 kills and died, but before that i told one of teammates to go cap "Just in case we screw up up north". We did screw up. Obviously. He did actually listen, skipped farming damage, and got himself a brand new Solo warrior badge. Miracles do happen

I guess noobqueror is not foolproof enough for weekend warriors yet. Buff please.

I consider Barracuda to be hands-down the strongest sub atm. It has a completly sick fire chance on it`s secondaries, with good rof, reload, and accuracy. Just land a freeze-torp, surface near the stunned target, and circle him until flood+quad fire does it`s job, otherwise dive-out.

Now we`re on to crashing the forums too :D Server said it was going down for maintenance so yeah, WG is replacing hamsters, and RNG dice. Stay frosty.

The biggest rollercoaster in a while. We won this in literally last 5 seconds, losing through almost entire game beforehand. (replay attached) 20181017_192925_PJSD518-Asashio_20_NE_two_brothers.wowsreplay

The problem with AP damage against DD`s was never about AP shells themself, but rather about how easy it is nowadays to permaf̶u̶c̶k̶ spot DD`s with radar/hydro that goes through mountains, or planes that are essentialy invincibe against all but few DD`s.

Typical 210k loss Also i got flamed, and reported by Musashi that camped all game at I line because i didn`t push into triple Yamato division supported by 3 dd`s :) Enjoy your weekend everyone :)

Get a lot of detonation flags. ATM Hood has one of, if not the most accurate BB guns at T7, however you should NOT stay at max range and snipe, because it`s not a Yamato, and bad shell characteristics will heavily hinder Hood`s performance. If i were to buy Hood (i have enough premiums already) i`d play it as mid-range ship. You have the health advantage, good guns, and quite good armor scheme (not a german one though). I don`t think it must be mentioned, but still - don`t brawl with a ship sporting a 930m turning circle, and don`t bow-tank other BB`s (since 25mm is being overmatched by T7 BB guns)

Now I`m wondering where they got that retarded heal from.

I`d say Scharnhorst every day. It has really good armor: essentially citadel-proof, unlike other T7 BB`s except Gneise it can go nose-in against any BB - including Musashi, it has torpedoes that make BB vs BB fight trivial, and it`s also quite agile (for a BB at least). If played properly it`s eaisly the strongest T7 BB. You have to go in, screaming LEROY JENKINS quite often though. Still you choose Hood if: You hate CV`s, since it has a completly retarded short range (1.5-2.3km with upgrade) AA when defensive AA is active. You want to blap DD`s and CA/CL`s eaisier. Detonations doesn`t bother you

He only got that 1 xp because it`s a freemium :>

As mentioned above there are major differences between the lines. "Torpedoboat line" that ends with Shimakaze focuses on high-damage torpedoes, speed, and low detection values. They are really good scout boats, and they excel at defending the location, and contesting capture points - that is if you know what you`re doing, because they can`t really win an even gunfight against any other ship until tiers 9&10. "Gunboat line" that ends with Harugumo focus on guns, however they play like a torpedoboat until tier 8 (Akizuki) - captain retraining is adviced at this point due to a massive shift in gameplay. IJN gunboat are in a really good spot now, and IMHO they are much more competitive than IJN torpedoboat line. They have great gunpower, but they suffer in terms of concealment, and torpedo reload. (they still get IJN torpedoes though)

When you do 240k dmg and still have to resort to winning by points... Gotta love weekends.

200k loss, because why not. . But it can`t happen twice in a row RIIIIIIIIGHT? Well *repeatedly move back and forth in a linear fashion* you...

- Got hit by 4 different ships - Tanked almost twice my health (Scharnhorst is 56k hp) - No dreadnought Ty WG Anyone else encountered this problem?

Sadly i shut the wows down after this one so i can`t :/ I did double check that after getting screens.
