MATREKUS Players 377 posts 4,311 battles Report post #77 Posted December 21, 2015 (edited) Is it possible somehow to buy this ship without the bundle? 500 SEK is a bit rough just before Christmas. Thinking off buying this ship since all seems to be very pleased with it and in the next patch they seem to totally nerf my favorite ship Kiev, so maybe this would be a nice next favorit. This was the rason of nerfing Kiev. They want us to buy Blyskawica. Pathetic and mean. Theyv spit in my face because I grinded so hard to get Kiev and spent my prem acc...Also if the reason for nerfing the RU dds guns - was OP - then why they excluded Gremy?

Vogel Alpha Tester 2,062 posts 4,171 battles Report post #78 Posted December 21, 2015 ^Kiev was overperforming, therefore the nerf. Blyskawica might be a tad too good as well, but WG has negative experiences from nerfing premium vehicles. THose that had bought them previously tend to be outraged from the change.

MATREKUS Players 377 posts 4,311 battles Report post #79 Posted December 21, 2015 (edited) Gremy is "overperforming" too and it is more or less the same ship as Gnevny but wont be nerfed like Gnevny.... so ..elephant in the room gents...

AFAIK Grem doesn't have higher penalty to spotting when firing like Gnevny, also slow longer range torps are slightly more useful than fast short range ones.

creamgravy Players 2,780 posts 17,292 battles Report post #81 Posted December 22, 2015 Yep, Gremyashchy certainly needs the changes Gnevny is getting. On the plus side it looks like Tier 5 won't be part of ranked battles and they won't sell it very often. OP ORP Błyskawica on the other hand... Has anyone taken Propulsion Modification 2 over Steering Gears Modification 2? I feel boosting the sluggish acceleration might be more beneficial than rudder shift.

MATREKUS Players 377 posts 4,311 battles Report post #82 Posted December 22, 2015 (edited) I took steering because i feel it needs it more. BTW, I dont think Blys is OP. Just that Kiev shouldnt be nerfed so much. And I can do in Farragut as much as I can in other two. Its just a different style of play.

Has anyone taken Propulsion Modification 2 over Steering Gears Modification 2? I feel boosting the sluggish acceleration might be more beneficial than rudder shift. No, I always put Steering Gears Mod2 on my gunships as soon as I can afford it. That's because I am not as good at evading incoming fire as I would like. This upgrade helps me to improve my skills in evading. However if you are already good at evading incoming fire, then it may make sense to take Propulsion Mod 2. There are no right and wrong answers. Pick the one that suits your particular style and abilities. EDIT: Fixed typos Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Am I missing something? You've 14 games total in the FG across random/ranked, at 21,000 your doing over 10,000 less dmg than in the Kiev and closer to 15,000 less than the Blys. That doesn't look like "as much" to me. Edited December 22, 2015 by Capra76 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What gearing do you recommend for the ship, as she's currently unequiped. Main Battery Modification 1: You don't have dual purpose guns that benefit from AA Guns Modification 1 and the torpedo tubes rarely break. Propulsion Modification 1: The engine is much more critical than steering and the Blys is fairly resistant to fire. Gun Fire Control System Modification 1: They're your main weapon (Optional/Meta choice: AA Guns Modification 2. The guns are already very accurate and you can push the range of those 40mm Bofors out to 5.1km with commander skills) Propulsion Modification 2: A good starting point although Steering Gears Modification 2 is a good choice if you favour stop/starting in defensive smoke or hiding around islands. dmg alone is not winning the battles, specially in ranked....btw, I have way more exp in Kiev and my feeling is that once I get used to Farragit style I would do same or closer to Kiev... anyways, Kiev will be nerfed... American destroyers are generally fleet escorts, we need the Porter/Somers class to complete with the gun boat destroyers. I love my fleet escort spec Farragut, hopefully we'll get more carrier players so I can finally get more than 20 plane kills in a match Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capra76 Players 5,001 posts 7,787 battles Report post #88 Posted December 22, 2015 dmg alone is not winning the battles, specially in ranked..... DMG is a large part of the game and win rates based on a handful of games are meaningless, your 57.14% in ranked is 4 victories out of 7 games, you may have contributed to that but with an average dmg of 11,312 it looks more like pure chance. ....btw, I have way more exp in Kiev and my feeling is that once I get used to Farragit style I would do same or closer to Kiev... anyways, Kiev will be nerfed... Your results in the Kiev are about par for that ship, to get the Farragut up to that level you'd need to be running at 160% of the average player, do you really think you're that good?

I don't know what I favour yet. I put on steering gear mod 2 so far, because the rudder shift seemed to take aaaaages when I was dodging incoming fire. Other than that I have put on everything you recommended (I have put the propulsion mod 1 by myself after noticing an angering habit for the engines to flame out when the stern gets hit). Thanks!

[BUSHI] CuddlyPanda Players 352 posts 3,883 battles Report post #98 Posted December 25, 2015 Despite my stern word about WG pricing policy, I did buy the standalone bundle for this little ship. I got my Christmas bonus, and felt the deal was good enough to justify the purchase. Excellent little ship, really good camo scheme, superb guns, and workable torpedoes. Don't regret buying it at all. If you are into gunboats this one is rather good I think this is my best game so far.
