My only question is why are you being detected? Cossack is 5.5km Concealed and Shimakaze is 5.6km Concealed... Unless you haven't learned radar ranges or hydro ranges of your opponents you should be well out of range (Unless a CV is stalking you).... Both DD's are agile enough to escape incoming shells if you flee watching your stern and move the minute you see shells being fired... I am only at Jutland (5.7km concealed) because I see Daring as a poor upgrade so don't know Daring strengths or weaknesses...

I am sorry but, please......

It was amazing the amount of times I had to remind Allies that Pomern carried torpedoes and still they sailed straight into them... Thankfully, the Pomern cast were few and far between in the teams I had and if they did show they were nearly always dead well before the game ended.

I had the stuttering, I still have the stuttering and now it's progressed to (Not responding)...the worst stutter is when I collect the crates... In game it mainly hits me when I play a DD game. Seriously, given the amount of players saying the same thing I am surprised WG has not thought about investigating why this is happening...

So then you ally with a big BB and stay close to them... for some reason when you are targeting two ships close together RNG really does mess up your accuracy and so the little Cruiser will be safer... and if a DD actually smokes for you then goes to spot for you... it's Bar-B-Q time isn't it. Ocean means teams must play as teams to win.. Yolo just does not work.

I have had four in two years.... Call me greedy but i want more.

Your fist comment was to call me 'Dumb'.... now why didn't I whine about being insulted.... probably because you have the right to an opinion. I wasn't insulting you I was stating fact.... If you have a so called 'Weak Ship' you pair up with a stronger ally or group.... Don't you? Use your brain.

For all 24 players.

When I sank Black I earned First Blood, but wait, the Azuma was already sunk.. so I was scratching my head... Turns out Azuma sank himself....

Knowing where my nearest enemy is is vital to me... My gameplay is primarily stealth play and knowing the direction of the nearest enemy in conjunction with using a mini map means I have he ability to surprise my opponent or retreat if I believe the odds are against a successful attack. Yes they are warned that I have their bearing but they have no idea where the attack will come from until it's too late...

RL is vital... I have numerous kills from firing torpedoes at the RL icon markers direction.... even a double strike in Epicentre last week using RL.

My Opinion: You need PT with 5.6km Concealment? You should be nowhere near needing to know who is targeting you because you should not even be visible... You should be out of Radar or Hydro range at all times unless you're going for an ambush kill. PT should never be over PM in my book and it is a waste of 1 point. No good having torpedo tubes if they have a greater risk of incapacitation.

The Pomerns I have seen as opponents don't fair so well when under the guns/torpedoes of myself or my team.... However, I do find many players forget Pomern carries torpeodoes.

As Britney Spears would say.... 'OOPS I did it again.....' Allied Siegfried pops to a devastating strike with 1 Salvo leaving me and an afk FDG.... FDG was late but as I was Hunting I never even realised he had joined the game.... Opponents: Pomern, Drake and Fletcher.... Drake burned, Fletcher ate a torp and Pomern flooded...

If you can't play a Cruiser of BB on Ocean then you're really not getting the game and far from me being dumb you are highlighting your own inefficiencies or deficiences.... Ocean is good for all....

Ranked Sprint game... My allies wouldn't commit to anything other than sniping from behind the Islands... So it's DIY...

So that means you have to use your brain doesn't it... I know, I know, asking someone to think in a battle.... oh the outrage.

As a DD main ocean gives me everything I need to create havoc for the enemy team. Even in CV games Mashum shines. I count the games I get on Ocean and I have had exactly four in two years...

Best of luck. Remember Mini Map is king and never go into a situation you're not 100% sure of. Always have your escape route planned before any action you undertake and if you have RL watch it like a hawk.

On Shima Superintendent gives you an extra boost and smoke so very handy... In my opinion Expert Marksman on a Shima is not necessary as she is primarily a torpedo killer... 1v1 on guns you're always likely to lose... If you're firing via smoke then it doesn't matter about turret speed because you can position the ship to the best firing angles.. and you never sit for long anyways.

RPF (or RL) is vital... not paying attention to mine was the reason for my demise tonight (Too focussed on Yoshino) As long as you have CE and RPF you have an advantage, I have lost count of kills made via RPF (RL) without even seeing the target once.

No problem. If you're going to go for 8km torpedoes try to ensure you fire between 6.3km and 7km.. Remember some targets carry Hydro so learn their ranges (Example Bismarck is 6km).... the speed of the torpedoes negates Hydro detection but you must stay out of range or the hunt is for nothing. There is an even crazier build for 6.4km torpedoes @ 85 knots... Just swap AR for TA... However, you have to play 100% and Mini Map is crucial.

I had this really badly in my first game tonight... I re-booted the game and the problem was resolved but this is a daily occurrence for me now. It is an absolute pain in the posterior and @MrConway as enough people are complaining of this perhaps someone should take a look see... somewhere there is a Hamster failing.

Although I didn't get any Radar Cruisers and just missed a Yoshino kill by 2k hp.. I held a flank alone against 5 ships for almost the entire game for almost 13 minutes... Using 8km @ 80 knot torpedoes.... Shimakaze is NOT yet deficient if you know how to use her even with an enemy CV in the game. It was only a momentary moment of carelessness hunting the Yoshino that was my undoing crossing too close to the enemy Shimakaze....
