To be honest i dont see the point of grinding it, if you already have some kind of US DD, they are so similar, not worth the pain. And the torps... oh that painfully bad torps... the tier6 Mutsuki have better ones for gods sake... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And no, US DDs can't do what the high tier soviet DDs can. If anything because they have laughable slow shells so hitting at those ranges is quite complicated, requires a lot of lead, and aiming gets ruined each time the target changes heading. Soviet DD shells have great speed and ballistics, however, negating that disadvantage. BTW what do you want torpedos for when you can be constantly setting cruisers and battleships on fire from 16km, while remaining unseen, and while uncatchable because you're faster than anything else?. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Watching someone else sail the Soviet DD's is not a reflection on how you would sail them. As per my reply to the OP, yes they have their strengths but you have to remain focussed to maintain a safe distance and as with all battles there will be times that you will be seen (CV aircraft anybody?) and if any enemy sees you, say goodbye unless you can extricate yourself easily. The Soviets are inherently weak armour wise and very prone to detonation (same can be said for the German CA's) so believe me, they are not as mighty as some may say, good but certainly not omnipotent!

Kirasa Beta Tester 1,520 posts 1,524 battles Report post #17 Posted October 9, 2015 The USSR DDs don't look that imbalanced.. The guns need to be good obviously, since their torps are even worse than the USN ones. And no one thought that was possible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This US DD captain is certainly going to grind Soviet DDs. It does everything US does (apart from torps) only better. And who cares about torpedoes if you drive US dds in the first place.... Soviet DDs have 9% chance of setting a fire vs 5% on US DDs. Their sustained Dps is only 10-20% lower than Gearing's, but with much better ballistics. #BBQCity!

Uhm. Armour? Aren't all DDs built from toiletpaper and duct tape? What do you mean prone to detonations? More so than other DDs - is it possible?

The balance is crap Mr. 56-battles-player. Individually and extremely over/underperforming ships everywhere, including premiums (also according to serverstats), fucked up class-balance (DDs bad from midtier, CAs bad in hightier) and nearly zero power-progression in a at least half of the techtrees. Great balance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also, aiming at a DD with cruisers and a BBs in front of you too. Or do you want a tier 10 ship (yes the top of the tree) not to be able of doing at least hes own hp number in dmg ? Of course tovarische, WG cares of balance that's why they give you stronk soviet ship to make DDs balanced. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
