Un-interesting Mountbatten aside, I would throw Tromp into the mix. Got a bit hyped/fooled by the videos and talks, bought it and its pretty much a turd imho. Its a DD with only half decent conceal but no survivability. Its almost as maneuverable and fast as T10 IJN BB Yamato .... but a DD (Not quoting stats (before you start to) but more the feeling playing it). You have no heals and no smoke and if you get caught out your dead. Turns like a brick, slow and a little AA fireshow ... for show.... Could get a good game when all stars Aline and the reds push you with none of the 200 Hydro BBs or a screening DD (which happens a lot ....).

 

No HP or maneuverability for open water gun boating. No way to disengage. So you're mostly restricted to bad torps and somewhat hard to lead airstrikes (unless bow tanking BBs).

Agree about Trump. Decent concealment so I want to play close to cap, but can't turn means difficult to dodge incoming fire. So have to build into range for HE spamming from far. Not why I play DD, I can do that in cruisers.

Since when has Trump been hyped, or have I missed something? I bought it expecting average to decent ship with a gimmick and that's pretty much what I got. Yet I'm satisfied because it's something different, that nothing of my other ships offer.
