I think the colour thing might work. Would help with the frustration when trying to set up something with a teammate or smth.

It's not the fact that she isn't OP, it's just as Helmut_Kohl mentioned earlier; she brings nothing new. Maybe soft buff isn't the answer but still, I struggle to see what could make her more effective as her own ship. So far I've tried a bunch of different builds and the one I'm settling for atm is torpedo armament + bft + gun reload mod in slot 6 and it seems to be working for me now. She has better guns than shimakaze which is the only positive angle I see on why I wouldn't take shimakaze over her, but is less stealthy. Maybe I titled/approached this discussion wrong, I just didn't feel like she was too unique/impressive as a steel ship.

The USS Somers has recently been added to the game, so as a DD main I decided to check it out. I still can't figure out what makes it a "fun and unique" ship to play because of the following: -It is a torpedo boat with horrible gun DPM, but torpedoes don't do much damage -It has 12 torps, which is 2 more than the gearing has in game, with almost identical torpedo reload -It has horrible DPM, even with a gun-focused build you can only get the reload down to 4.8s before AR hits in (about 60k HE dpm) -Its concealment is nothing impressive at 5.8 it's around the average mark, getting outspotted by shimakaze and legendary module gearing -It has a small HP pool so getting close with that concealment is risky if you want to invest commander points in something other than survivability expert, but then you risk losing out on damage potential by missing out on things like torpedo armament expertise or BFT Don't get me wrong, it's not a terrible ship, but I believe it deserves a soft buff. Closest ship to compare it to is the shimakaze, which has the option to slot 1 of 3 types of torpedo and they all do damage that exceed 20k per hit. I think Somers could benefit from a soft buff, maybe take the concelament down to 5.7 or buff the hp pool or torpedo reload slightly. In its current state, I don't think it's worth its steel.
