I am a DD main. Radar : No problem. Hydro: No problem. KNOW the range of the enemy radar in every enemy radar equipped ship you face and what have you to worry about. KNOW the HYDRO capabilities of every enemy ship you face and what have you to worry about, KNOW the concealment range of the enemy ship and you will usually find you can see them before they can detect you.. Play smart. Perma spot the ship keep hitting F3 and someone might sink it..... eventually... Don't do it alone. -------------------------------------- SUBS: In my opinion, only appeal to the children. You've only got to look at the acoustic torps.... Silent Hunter is better for Subs than World of Warships. Anyway the naval classification for SUB is SUBMARINE in my opinion it is hardly suitable for the games we play here with WARSHIPS.. Just remember the chaos of the initial CV rework in 8.0.....

Welcome to the game.. I have played this game for three years and never heard of this. I also often skip through players if I am sunk... I am not going to tell you that you are wrong but I would ask if you recorded the game or have a saved replay. With only 119 games under your belt it is possible that you have collected the penalty yourself and perhaps not realised.. Being a new player you are more likely to have instances of friendly fire, even some of us long term guys occasionally also pick up penalties so don't let it worry you.. penalties are usually short term unless you are persistent.

I use a product called Bandicam. https://www.bandicam.com/

First game of the day.... I give you KAGERO. I was with Amagi and Scharnhorst to the end after capping A taking out Monarch with a full salvo.. from 14 to 20 minutes I had recapped B and using rpf or by spotting lit up every ship my consorts sank... (4 enemy ships in 5 minutes) we won by 122 points at 20 minutes.. We we the last ships alive at 14 minutes...

Do you actually look at what people write? Given the OP gave NO details of the enemy ships any comment from a DD player has to assume the worst case scenario/// There are two points that I made.. and please go back, read again the very last statement I made... I also clearly stated, if the enemy ships contained NO RADAR then the Kagero he spoke of did a poor job. Now beyond that you're just waffling.....

But, you are missing the one crucial factor or ignoring what I pointed out earlier.. The OP did not give the names of the opposing ships.. Again, just for you.. For example, let's say: If the sole Crusier is a Radar equipped Cruiser, if one of the two Battleships is Missouri... I surely don't need to paint you a picture do I? Regardless of their combined health pool.. The 5.4km concealment counts for nothing if you are radar spotted..... I also clearly stated, if the enemy ships contained NO RADAR then the Kagero he spoke of did a poor job.

I like my Mutsu. Good guns and if you are under 16km pretty accurate, good number of secondaries with a decent range for Tier 6, 7km torpedoes with a 21 second reload. AA isn't bad for a IJN Tier 6 BB either... Haven't played her much but in the battles I have had good WR.

Same as... infuriating when you've got the perfect shot and all shells flop...

I agree with you but I have had so many people flame me because I don't have good stats in the past... I play DD's from Tier 5 to Tier 10.

@MadBadDave If the Crusier was radar equipped, if one of the BB's was the Missouri of course you'd run or at least try to get out of radar range to figure your attack plan. You see that's the problem, you have not identified the enemy ships, so I give you the reaction to the worst case scenario.. If the ships were standard then the Kagero clearly was not doing his job... @Europizza as each situation is different and as @MadBadDave has not identified the enemy ships I commented on a possible worse case scenario. So hand slap to face means what? I do think I know what I am doing and talking about...

I have the Kagero, Tier 8 IJN for those who don't know. Kagero does not have the biggest HP tally, wouldn't you agree, even with SE equipped? What was the enemy Cruiser? Was one of the BB's the Missouri? Maybe the Kagero was running 6.4k torps at 81 knots... maybe he had no torpedoes ready to fire and as firing the puny guns would immediately mean detection.... What do you expect the guns of Kagero to do, seriously? If I was Kagero faced with 3 enemy ships with only the Roma for support I would run too.

I have to ask: Which ships are you most likely to find on the borders, neatly stacked behind Islands, sniping from some insane distances, refusing to hear the DD's cry about sinking ships like Des Moines, Alaska, Cleveland, Stalingrad.... I type in chat that Radar = Dead DD's and defeat... nobody kills radar and so inexperienced DD's die and the game is lost... I don't die because I don't take risks if my team do not support. You moan at the so called 'Poor performance' of the DD player...are you giving your DD's the support they need? If there is a CV in play, which over this weekend I found in almost 80% of my DD games, how can the DD survive long if perma spotted by the CV without the help of AA support... BB's have the health pool to deal with damage that the DD's do not, they have the AA to support and the big guns to sink the Cruisers... Try playing a DD for a while and you WILL find the problem is not necessarily the DD... as with all classes there will be new DD captains a little rough at the edges.. why aren't YOU helping them? I would suggest that all BB's should learn how to protect their DD consorts, Maybe the BB players should be willing to take a few hits for the team and NOT to expect the DD's to do all of the work.

If you are detonated how can you survive? Have I missed something here...

With a T61 for company we held off a Bismack, Izmail, KII, Prinz Eugen and Fushun who tried repeatedly to get to our base to cap.... I accounted for the Fushun myself with guns after T61 ran him to me and once my torps had done their work the T61 accounted for Bismarck and KII... Izamil flooded to 8k and was zapped by allied Bismarck and the Prinz succumbed to allied Baltimore... we kept them contained and between us perma spotted... they really did not have a chance. A decent damage tally for me...

So 15 games played and only 5 victories.. am I alone in saying: "Where are the idiots suddenly appearing from?" Cruisers thinking they're BB's... DD's doing only they know what... camping sniping BB's.... even had a Shchors migrate to an island and sit for the whole game out of sight... and the amounts of AFK tonight..in one game 3.. In one game tonight, I play my Gneisenau, 3 DD's decide together to charge a cap where the enemy Belfast was camped... all 3 are dead in under 4 minutes... the list of idiotic play was endless... I have finished every game in the top 2 trying as best as I can to win.. in one game, in my Scharnhorst, I was last man standing after only 9 minutes... with not a single enemy ship down... finished top with 3 kills after being torped to death.... Before my head explodes with the incredulity of it all I am going to have a lie down...

I believe that the codes had a 24 hour life...

I have just played my first game in Smolensk (Random by mistake) almost a win but for 2 dumb BB's... does she hurt the enemy... I took on a GK and Martel on my own and won...

@MrConway I am just curious as to why when you have completed one block of missions you cannot immediately roll over to the next? I have completed the second block but must wait 5 days before the next. Is there a reason for this?

Oh do I understand... after an infuriating game I lost my cool after some idiotic play ... 3 day chat ban...lolz

In my opinion Karma is an indication that in game you are playing well for the team, Smoking a targeted ally thus saving him from HE fury, taking the pressure off a cap by keeping the enemy at bay, spotting Radar ships for deletion or if you salvage a victory from certain defeat. It has no relevance to the game but it's nice to come out of a hard won game and find your Karma up +6...

So a good DD captain will try to keep them spotted so that the Big Guns can tear them to pieces... I DO NOT worry about them whatsoever because when I see them in the enemy team I am always looking for them... once spotted by a team member or spotted by myself I keep them lit up.. Once they're dead, usually when i play DD they die fast, back to the same tactics as before... Very happy with my DD play tbh...

I got the KAGA via the recent Tier X SC event... I am only playing her in COOP at the moment for practice. Perhaps a little more time getting used to IJN CV's may help as you have only 288 battles? @El2aZeR is the best person to ask for help..... He is after-all a merciless hunter with his CVs... I am sure he wouldn't mind answering some questions as almost everyone here is approachable.... Only just notice this post is from March 16th.....

Do the game integrity check via settings. Also, right click your mouse, sometimes guns are sector locked and don't fire.

Finally Rank 1.... 50% WR so happy considering at one point below 35%.. DD's are my thing....lolz

Last night on the WG stream they said the codes are valid for 24 hours so if they do not work perhaps they are expired. I know I was able to redeem 12 hours after but beyond 24 hours I don't know...
