Rabiator5 Players 6 posts 3,958 battles Report post #1 Posted December 13, 2018 I just finished the quest for this unique "upgrade" ... and IMO it is AT BEST ... a SIDEGRADE if not an outright DOWNGRADE. What point is there to "loaded torpedo tubes" ... if they dont point into the right direction due to the 80% SLOWER ROTATION OF THE TUBES? This happens all the time and even tiny changes in course are making it impossible to fire torpedoes because the launcher moves like a 90-year-old. The torpedo tubes have the turning speed of Battleship turrets ... Why does the already limited "one-trick-pony" Shimakaze get such a bad non-upgrade upgrade? Other unique upgrades come without any downsides ... (and I dont care about the incapacitation bit). I am going to dismount this "upgrade" after looking forward to it for a long time. This is a severe disappointment! Just give me a torped reload booster instead of smoke screen instead of this "upgrade" ... because smokescreen is useless for a DD due to "everybody and their grandmother getting radar" ... and I usually drop it for the cruisers further back (outside radar range). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[SERBS] Gidzi Players 37 posts 4,476 battles Report post #3 Posted December 13, 2018 It is a downgrade. Since i adore Shima, and i have played it much more then other ships, i can confirm that legendary module for it can only serv to be sold for, i think, 3 milion credits. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some trades are better, some are outright worse. Overall too much hype IMO with all these speshul upgrades. All depending on the play style, if someone is spamming 20km torps from the borderline I guess very slow rotation speed doesn't matter much. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Same as BB guns - you aim ahead of time. Requires a bit of thinking, I know how hard that can be... 10 hours ago, Rabiator5 said: This happens all the time and even tiny changes in course are making it impossible to fire You have 650 BB games, and yet this isn't familiar to you? Yes, it's on a DD now, but the idea (and timing) is the same 10 hours ago, Rabiator5 said: such a bad non-upgrade upgrade They're not "upgrades" 10 hours ago, Rabiator5 said: Other unique upgrades come without any downsides Their downsides often are the slot in which they are put in. Either that, or they actually have quite noticeable downsides built in them 10 hours ago, Rabiator5 said: I am going to dismount this "upgrade" after looking forward to it for a long time. Literally everyone knew what that Legendary Module was about, it's nothing new. 5 min of looking it up would have given you all that info Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
