[SM0KE] Verblonde Players 9,787 posts 20,664 battles Report post #4 Posted December 2, 2021 Italian DDs? Woohoo! I particularly like the sound of " All ships of the new branch have high damage per minute, but extremely low range on their main caliber guns, and are equipped with SAP and HE shells." Clearly, none of this nellying around at long-range; plenty of closing to Proper combat ranges. 3 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ten 15 inch guns firing improved RN AP. And those secondaries are 9.2 inch guns. She's like some post-modern version of a pre-Dreadnought. Sounds great fun. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Her problem is going to be speed - 25knots only - and I suspect her secondaries may be only an occasional amusement. But they're going to be *hilarious* when they do hit. You can get them out to a range of 10.8km, too, which could be quite fun. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[GJE] dommo77 Players 939 posts 11,373 battles Report post #11 Posted December 2, 2021 Finally :) But why use French DD as premium? Like Italians had no other designs...

My guess it's a speculative design from the fertile minds over at Vickers-Armstrong. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[SM0KE] Verblonde Players 9,787 posts 20,664 battles Report post #14 Posted December 2, 2021 BTW am I the only one wondering when WG are going to do something utterly hideous again? Apart from submarines (and, to be fair, that's quite a substantial 'apart from'), a lot of their recent moves have actually been - dare I say it - positive... They can't go for much longer without some sort of cast-iron male-chicken-up, surely? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Like Italians had no other designs... WG seems to like rearming French DDs. FR25 seems fictional, though. FR22 and 23 were Panthere and Tigre (Chacal class, same as Jaguar) and FR 21 and 24 were Lion and Valmy (Guepard class), but there's no FR25 which actually served (as far as I can see). Still, Guepard's a fun ship, variations might be worthwhile. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[MMI-C] stefanorgano Players 149 posts 9,873 battles Report post #16 Posted December 2, 2021 So. Tech tree (free) DDs = poor range, slow torps. Premium DD = good range, fast torps. Why am I not surprised at all? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Elbing was at least planned to have SOME armor protection, the Romanis literally had none. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
