jss78 Players 1,292 posts 12,874 battles Report post #5 Posted December 31, 2020 Yoshino seems ... divisive. I really like her, and so do many others. I think if you like the Zao you're safe buying her. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[VIBES] tocqueville8 Players 3,717 posts 39,419 battles Report post #6 Posted December 31, 2020 I don't have the Yoshino, so I can't comment. However, I have the Azuma, I like her, and I think some reviews don't do her justice. Yes, her armor is worse than the Yoshino's, and she doesn't get those trollish torps, but she has a much faster-reloading heal and she sees easier matchmaking, so maybe you can find her an acceptable surrogate, if you have the necessary Free XP. Frankly, I'd save the coal for a special captain or one of the expensive T9 DDs (Z-44 & Neustrashimy). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Frankly, I'd save the coal for a special captain or one of the expensive T9 DDs (Z-44 & Neustrashimy). Agreed on Azuma - she’s a fine ship when played correctly. Now, I don’t own the Z-44 because all of the research I did on this boat pointed to the simple fact that she seems pretty bad, or at the very least, not worth the coal. If you ever played the Z-46 and thought to yourself “man I wish this ship would lose hydro and be bigger, clumsier and easier to hit, just so I can get a bit faster reloading torps” then get the 44, otherwise I’d stay away from it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[THIR] Stormhawk_V Players 1,034 posts 4,895 battles Report post #13 Posted December 31, 2020 The IJN supercruisers aren't really good but Sad-44 is straight up trash.

It's the only tempting remaining coal option for me and I still need a bit of encouragement I think she's hilarious in Coop (and gloriously effective for missions in that mode), but my results in proper modes are more disastrous than a very disastrous thing. My suspicion is that she's quite worthwhile if you're good with the 'glue the fire button down' approach to DD play, but very hard to do well with otherwise. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[S-E] FixCVs_Nautical_Metaphor Players 3,532 posts 29,240 battles Report post #17 Posted December 31, 2020 Yoshino compares in no way to Zao, which is a lot stealthier and more agile. Save all your ressources, the coupon is good for half a year and this game is about to face the biggest mess ever in a history replete with big messes. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you aren't particularly stoked for anything at the moment, there's no harm in saving it; besides seeing what damage the rework does, there will probably be one or two interesting new things along at some point (to replace the soon-to-be-removed ships). If it doesn't *have* to be a T10, Neustrashimy (on the basis of only a few games, admittedly) is pretty good, and - as a full premium - an excellent silver earner.
