[M-P-M] Migantium_Mashum Players 3,146 posts 19,216 battles Report post #1 Posted December 2, 2018 From my own experience I have to say that the Nerf of Yeuyang was not the death blow I expected... In fact the reload is just the same as my longer range Gearing torpedoes (Well almost) In the 6 games played since the Nerf I have experienced 1 defeat and today broke my damage record in her recording 197.000.. How have you guys fared in her post Nerf? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[NWP] Bear__Necessities Players 5,068 posts 15,108 battles Report post #2 Posted December 2, 2018 Chung Mu is now more versatile than Yuyang. Though before the nerf my stats for Yuyang and Chung Mu were almost identical. I’ve since found that taking out the Chung Mu is more effective than playing the YY. Chung Mu isn’t effected by being in T10 games but offers the better torp potential and good gun power. Now asking if YY’s nerf has effected Clan Wars game play and usage would be interesting as that’s why the nerf most likely happened. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

She simply is not fielded even half as much anymore, most clans seem to be using Gearings or Shimas in her place now. (Bear in mind in CW's it's pretty rare for a DD to use it's guns much unless it's a Harugumo.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[UNICS] loppantorkel Players 4,506 posts 15,942 battles Report post #4 Posted December 2, 2018 Yes, I've played YY after the nerf, 5 games. Did I find the nerf to be a handicap??? It's a nerf, ofc it's a handicap from before. Is YY still playable - yes. No, I won't sell YY. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[HOO] BeauNidl3 Players 2,192 posts Report post #5 Posted December 2, 2018 I hate it in the current state, no point selling it as I've port slots spare and it costs nothing to keep. It's very poor knife fighting and the torp reload is bad, I use the Fletcher torps on Gearing so Yuey reload feels awful. Ship is gutted in my opinion with poor offensive and defensive capabilities and a total waste of doubloons on the perma-camo. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ship is gutted in my opinion with poor offensive and defensive capabilities and a total waste of doubloons on the perma-camo. No argument about it being much worse off after the nerf. It was massive, but it's still has decent defensive qualities with the fast smoke reload and numerous smokes. More boring to play though and I think the nerf was too big given the various buffs on other dds lately + new dds that kind of counter YY. Not a waste with perma camo. It was a OP ship for a time, still very strong before the nerf. Now it's very average... maybe below. Still playable, but there are better and more fun options. Chung Mu is probably a better ship overall. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[PEZ] Yedwy Players 11,194 posts 38,899 battles Report post #8 Posted December 2, 2018 I play it in CW for obvious reasons its still gun reload spec couse thats the only thing i have to defend myself against other dds so a no brainer there, but it hurted the ship, badly... Now you cant really go toe to toe in a gun duel with gearing not to mention other t10 gunships and your option to go as torp/spot platform is a) ridiculous sunce you cant defend yourself with torps and b) they got nerfed as well 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[TWF] Bushpanther Beta Tester 131 posts 23,687 battles Report post #11 Posted December 2, 2018 YY is still playable but went from above average (not OP IMHO) to below average. I’ll grind out the remaining XP for the legendary module on it, after that the captain will move to the Chung Mu. I reckon that’s the more fun ship to play after this nerf.

[RO-RN] Animalul2012 Players 1,345 posts 21,323 battles Report post #13 Posted December 2, 2018 the newest worst t10 dd! lets nerf it because everyone uses in clan wars comrade. i can not wait to nerf my henri 4 cause people seem to use it quite a bit in clan wars now. OH SO WG who was/is more op yueyang or the dirty harugumo that made the entire russian destroyer line obsolete( except grozovoi it is still very good even tho i do not own one). gunboat destroyers that can pen up to 32mm of armor with IPHE and get 12km torpedoes and torpedo reload booster+super rate of fire... but i guess radar is more op that those so lest nerf yueyang. also i will never play this boat ever again util they reverse the nerfs. it will seat as port decoration from now on.

Depends on you definitions. If one can make pretty much any DD work, does that mean nerf didn't constitute a death blow, or does it just make one a masochist? But why bother, when there is a superior ship available ( Chung Mu)? In my opinion that is a death blow (except maybe for CB, and dd guns dont matter all that much there. Kinda ironic, considering WGs arguments for nerfing the ship) 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If they then move to Nerf Chung Mu it will be proof enough that they are deliberately killing certain DD lines.. I wonder what will happen when the RN DD's are out in force because as a DD primary myself I like them.. Instead of expecting players to improve, using their brains, they dumb down to accommodate the morons which will mean those with the intelligence to adapt will disappear and games will become stagnant festering pools of garbage...
