I enjoy Epicentre as a map because as a DD main I play my game differently to the norm.. I have more freedom to manoeuvre than on any other map bar Ocean. In Epicentre if you can get behind your enemy not only can you keep them all spotted you keep them all guessing with your torpedoes and your team, if they are awake and focussed, can whittle down the enemy team by killing the weaker/lower HP ships first.... Most of my Epicentre games end victoriously and I have usually either a good score on damage or a good score for spotting...

Just a quick question: Not being a Cruiser guy I would like to know if you would recommend IFHE on the Worcester?

Every tier, every class?

First Worcester game in a long time... Not spectacular by any stretch of the imagination but I held the epicenter map with a Moskva.. at one point PT lit up 6 and I thought... but every salvo missed me... Once we had taken out the enemy DD we just sat taking pot shots and alternating our radar... enemy never came near...

DE was for keep but you would not recommend LS over JaoT?

Because I hit the wrong one... was meant to be SI but had a blonde moment... just making another pint of Coffee to wake my brain up...lolz

Had a spare 15 point captain so this is the build you recommended?

I have gone for this build. My final 5 points when accrued will go to SE & LS... unless someone has any better advice. Once again thanks for the help guys.

Thank you gents...

@ShinGetsu @Redcap375 As I do not have the ship I relied on someone telling me that Smolensk had smoke, torpedoes and 10km radar.... If she doesn't have radar then that is even better for me.... But, yes if they spot me I am running... fast...

I have had many games against the Smolensk and I have not witnessed any abuse directed to the Smolensk captains. I did witness a BB asking the Smolensk in all chat if he could have time to evacuate his wounded to a burns unit.. all in good fun... As a DD main I do try to make sure they are highlighted and F3 until someone puts them down... I stay out of their radar range and they are harmless because they cannot see me... fire a few torpedoes to keep them guessing..

Received my email and three codes but only one would redeem. Ticket created so I shall await WG reply...

I once had a one shot torpedo kill on a Montana in my Shimakaze... How many ships in previous conflicts simply exploded because a shell penetrated a magazine.. easy answer loads. Nice when it is in your favour.. I wouldn't want to remove it though, it is as least a realistic feature. If you don't like it put up a single flag... problem solved.

I simply stopped playing ranked games. Initially I hit rank ten with one star with a 100% success rate from rank fifteen. Sixty four frustrating games later I finally manage to get back to rank ten with one star after being unable to break out from rank twelve.

Actually, I have the same problem. I can be in port chatting with a friend or clan member and then do something with my ships/captains skills or play a game; I then come back to the chat box to find the comments have disappeared.

Respecs are free until tomorrow or Thursday... Log in to WG and you'll see the part to opt in to to gain free respec for all Captains but hurry for you haven't long left..

@ColonelPete 1. GK. 2. Kremlin. 3. Kremlin. 4. Smolensk 5. Smolensk 6. Republique. 7. Smolensk Think you're not looking properly because in my team only Zao and Groz outperform the 4th and final Smolensk.. Nice try to discredit me though... and YUGUMO wasn't even in my team nor was the Bourgone.... you smoking that funny stuff again??

Submarines never played any part in surface naval engagements. Capital ships that did die by the hands of a submarine were almost always found after the battle and usually damaged already...

2 Smolensk are in the top 5... 2 Smolensk take out the Stalingrad and Grosser Kurfurst together and come through alive.. arguably two very dangerous ships or do you not agree?

Not really, I shall treat them like any other... Stay out of range mark them F3 and hope the brains of the BB's are switched on and keep sending in torpedoes to keep them occupied... No different than the respect contempt I give to the DM, Wooster, Stalingrad, Mino, Alaska.....

@Episparh How can you say "If" and then proceed to use the word "Standard?" "If" is hypothetical... Not all DD's die within the first 5 minutes.. In my recent experience DD's die early because the guys with bigger guns, still to this date, ignore the fact that enemy radar ships should be a priority target. We DD players have but small health pools, even with Survival Expert, so you are well off the track. I have lost count of the games where I mark Alaska, Stalingrad, Des Moines for destruction and the brain dead big guns still just trade blow for blow with the enemy Battleships. Lately, in nearly every game I play, I am usually last man standing or survive until the last couple of minutes.

Doesn't need to penetrate with the fire potential does it? Screenshot above gave 18, one Smolensk in my game boasted 26....

Crikey.. it has torpedoes too?

Naw... I am a DD main, they don't scare me....... Much
