_x_Acheron_x_ Players 484 posts 6,096 battles Report post #1 Posted February 19, 2016 Just played my second game in it, smashed out a Kraken with ease. Crucially though, 150,000 credits received, with -2000 for ammo/repair. Proper good to have something that's actually economically viable to play. I never bother with JPN DD's, is it one of the best, or are there better? I quit at Mutsuki about 3 patches ago. 13 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[TTTX] Tyrendian89 [TTTX] Players 4,608 posts 8,139 battles Report post #3 Posted February 19, 2016 Minekaze (with its variants) is probably the peak until Shima, which is not to say Fubuki and Kagero aren't good - but they're not as fantastic at their tier as Mine, partly due to stronger opposition in Benson/Fletch that can often hunt them down. Plus, hitting Torps at T5 is much much easier than at T9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[BONUS] Hedgehog1963 [BONUS] Beta Tester 3,211 posts 14,951 battles Report post #5 Posted February 19, 2016 (edited) Clearly a troll post since Kamikaze is in effect a Minekaze. If he's been as far as Mutsuki he will have experienced Kamikaze style game play already. Edited February 19, 2016 by Erinaceus_europaeus Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[DECOM] Seikin Beta Tester 193 posts 7,926 battles Report post #7 Posted February 19, 2016 I like it too. Its the first DD that I've managed to actually do damage in! (only played JPN DD's to T4 so far, and US to T5).. Seems like a fantastic money-maker. Guns seem useful too when upgraded - enough to stand a chance in a DD vs DD fight. I like the versatility of having useable guns on a DD. Torp-only gameplay bores me, tbh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
N00b32 Beta Tester 847 posts Report post #8 Posted February 19, 2016 (edited) I think Minekaze is as good as it gets. Fairly enough, I like the Fubuki a bit more. (and hate the Kagero for its reload time and torp layout, but that is at the upper end). When it comes to Minekaze vs Kamikaze I think the Kamikaze has the edge, because of the better torp firing arc, which can win you a duel against another Minekaze. Also: Acheron bro. You have changed. What happened to you ? Edited February 19, 2016 by N00b32 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dzony_Milelony Players 60 posts 5,782 battles Report post #10 Posted February 19, 2016 I havent got Kamikaze, only 231 pearls... Some impressions/comparison about the feeling in battle? Do you prefer Kamikaze or Minakaze? Actually my best battle is this, (7 kills, 103 k damage) a lucky one, but every day Minakaze give me satisfactions P.s.: in this battle ( as in Others), I killed one Kamikaze, hope was not the author of this 3d... :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have not used mine yet. But its basically the same ship with a few miner differences. Main advantage is i can put my fubuki 14 point commander in! Also i have a nice boat for retraining commanders in! PS well done on match!!!!!! Edit!! This Thread inspired me to take her out 3 kills and 84k damage on first game!!! Long time since i played Minikaze! i had forgot how nice she and thus kamikaze is.... Edited February 19, 2016 by T0byJug Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Player in and up to T V ships are very unstable in their survivability rate. It even influences T VI games. Up until T VI I would not take the results too serious, It is sometimes unbelievable what happens and how flanks fall apart. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
