Oh, I am very self aware and in most games I play as a DD I am the solution not the problem....

1) Absolutely agree. 2) Absolutely agree. 3) So a player new to WG with hardly any experience can buy a premium ship join a game and ruin it for his team because the player has NO EXPERIENCE ... His/her enjoyment is then far more important than the enjoyment of the other players in the team then? Unless of course you meant something else...

First Game of the day... Kitakaze just does not stop giving. Driving the left flank alone with a Friesland from South to North we pushed back 7 enemy ships attempting to flank us... I smoke for Friesland near the enemy held cap and we begin our work... his guns, my guns and my torpedoes sink 3 ships and took enough HP off the other enemy ships to make them fair game and easy targets for our switched on team.. I came out of my smoke screen to spot take the enemy cap and Friesland closes in after my smoke screen ends to use his own smoke to continue his gun work...our Z-23 had taken a pounding early and was down to 300 health points but he had managed to survive coming to join us after securing B cap... The enemy never stood a chance. By the time the enemy team were down to their last four ships all cap zones were ours and they had no chance of escape...

So @Hedgehog1963 you find my post bad.... You think players with absolutely no skills should be able to buy premium ships and join game levels that they're no way near ready for... Imagine them on your team game after game...how frustrating do you think that'll be... How many lost games before something goes click... Have you seen the state of game play lately and not only in randoms? It's getting to be an absolute farce.

Oh Joy.... another premium ship player without the skills... making Randoms even more fun. Still as a DD main... it'll be another easy kill.

I agree. If you can disable or destroy guns, if you can incapacitate or destroy torpedo tubes, then why not be able to destroy or incapacitate the radar mast.... But, if you do that the Cruiser Babies will cry.

1) How long does your radar last and how long is the cool down?... in that time of cool down if I know where you are you are vulnerable.... all I need do is stay out of range whilst your radar is active. You see there's a trick to knowing when radar has been activated, I know it and that makes me dangerous. It matters not your range, on cool down you have no power, I can be in range to kill you anytime and with my concealment you're dead. 2) Multiple radars has a great advantage... a switched on team takes them out one at a time.

1) You like boring? 2) Radar make Cruisers more vulnerable... for a switched on team an enemy Des Moines, Moskva, Stalingrad, Worcester etc etc is the primary target. 3) The CV is the only real threat to a DD that and a stronger DD. 4) Back to answer number 2 and 3.... 5) For a switched on team enemy radar dies first.. Being an enemy radar equipped Cruiser or BB means you cannot be aggressive and independent... so basically you are a static part of the game... every tried being aggressive in a radar Cruiser? You don't usually live long... No competent DD player fears radar, a competent DD plays smart and it makes the Grey matter churn because you've got everything to watch for + mini map...... doesn't a game that challenges the brain make the game fun and engaging... I want boring romp stomps I go play Command and Conquer Generals Zero Hour.

Point taken... however every radar ship has the cool down time between radar activations... at that time they are vulnerable... (Naked and afraid) especially if I am hunting them.... Well maybe not Naked.. but definitely afraid...

If you're able to actively hunt a radar equipped Cruiser, 12km or 10km radar makes not one iota of difference... If you're within 3km of them whatever move they make you have the counter... the DD is the top ship of this confrontation. If they come to you reverse, angled and ready (they die)... if they move away you follow them around the Island ready.. and (they die.) DD is King.

The feeling of satisfaction when you get a Radar Cruiser, sat behind an island, who thinks his opponent fears his radar only to find the DD actively hunts him and kills him.. it is indescribable. Going at 1/4 speed the camped Cruiser has to move or die... if he moves your team (if they have any brains) have an easy kill... But, this is where brains come in to play.. The DD has to play it just right to gain advantage, everything has to be ready (Repair, Boost and Smoke)... I wish I had had my Bandicam running for this kill...

What Tier are you playing? Whats ship? What scenario? CooP or Random? Bots or live players? To get an answer you need to be a little more detailed in what you are reporting.... your post is barren of anything.

The Clan has 18 places available and I will check for applications every 4 hours. Regards Mashum.

@Durin_VI +100 @MrConway That is about the best idea I have heard.... A DD can lose its Torpedo Tubes permanently, A BB can lose a turret ..... Why can't a Cruiser have its radar mast blown off?

If they're not good enough; then they had better die fast, they deserve to die fast, that's the lesson I failed to learn when I first took up the DD line.... Much to the anger of my team... Then the player either re-evaluates his/her performance and gets better or continue to play poorly which results in an early death every game.... Lack of enjoyment will remove a woeful player from WG which benefits the people who want to try or it makes the poor player stop and think 'I had better improve'.... or forget the DD class entirely and pick a class they're good at. Since learning my lesson I am usually alive to the end and I carry many poor teams to victory... I wanted to do better.

Agreed. Usually these posts come from players who cannot be bothered to learn.... they want it easy and when it isn't easy instead of improving their play they whine.

What is wrong with you? You want easy go play Minecraft or Tic Tac Toe.... Radar keeps a DD player sharp and radar Cruisers are NOT invincible... the only problem for the DD is the player being too lazy to learn what your opponents can do...

2 Pan EU DD's using their brains to work together wipe out your aircraft.. and you whine that there is no counter play? Welcome to the world DD's have had to put up with since 8.0... not very nice is it..... Learn and adapt, the days of zoom zoom, boom boom are over..... it's about time CV's had to think for a change... no more easy DD kills. It's not just limited to Eu DD's either... we DD players are getting smart and are beginning to understand how you beat Sky Cancer.

Kagero is a brilliant DD... 5.4km maximum concealment... strong torpedoes, torpedo reload booster if you're brave and as long as you watch the mini map who can touch you. If you've only just got to her give her time and learn how to use her.... Once you have understood her strengths you will be untouchable... She is a Spotter, a Capper and a Stalker but you must be 100% focused on that mini map... CV in the game AA off and be ready to retreat to your allies for AA support... You don't push her blindly and nobody can touch her... Both CE from the upgrades and Commander skills are essential as is Radio Location...

8km at 80 knots is all I use... If I feel really aggressive I have a Shimakaze Captain with 6.4km at 85 knots... They do shift and nothing escapes them.

Well, I remember this guy telling me that you cannot hunt a radar cruiser who was hiding behind an Island... to which I replied 'Watch me...' Just had a game where an enemy Des Moines sat close to an Island pinging his radar for fun... he knew I was there and could not move.. everything is ready as I creep at 1/4 speed... Repair ready, boost ready, torpedoes ready, smoke ready.... Boost on I come around fully angled, Des Moines fires HE ( I lose 3k HP), hard to port 1 salvo to torpedoes, repair, smoke and I am away..... I then Kill the V-23 by my guns but get deleted by Tirptiz... Our Jutland has no worries now about enemy radar because it is dead.... why is it dead, because I killed it. It took me 3 minutes to get into position and kill it... Got a -1 to my Karma when I got back to port... I can only guess where that came from Fear Radar? Do I want it nerfed or removed? Not on your life....

@Sunleader I never actually thought I would find on here someone who was as obnoxious as you.... But, you've surprised me... I can now tick of the box... well done.

As always @ColonelPete I bow to your rationalism..... cannot fault your argument.

No mate I am not.... But, you weren't in that game... and it seems that the children don't like being called out for being total morons.... and mostly it was a failure of the premium ship owners... Massa, Thunderer, Smols etc etc... if fact 2/3rds of my team were prem ships...
