78 sorties into E-2 and:

 

Finnaly Super Battleships Yuri Corner is complete.

Nice.

I'm well over 120 sorties into E4 and still Fletcher is nowhere to be seen. T_T

I'm not sure that I even want to suffer E-4 again. So far I only need Gangut, Jonhston and Fletcher and when Gangut is weak ( not sure if there any usefulness for her, also with Iowa Kai I got best FBB so  ) and I want her only for collection purposes, then Fletchers are different, but as long we got another useless DE as reward and good DD is obtinable only by ultra cancerous farm I will not even bother with wasting resources on them.

 

Despite awsome drops which I recived during this Event I'm just extremely worn out and rather critically looking at KC each day stronger and stronger.

 no AA,

To be fair, Yuubari only has any AA because WG used the post-refit design that traded her A gun turret for an additional AA mount.

Meanwhile I'm stuck in 7-3 trying to get Isuzu over with so I can move on. That has to be the most awkward and annoying map to grind. 4 possible boss spawns, one in each corner and behind 2-3 possible mob spawns each. You can never guarantee a minimum battle clear and you eat so many airstrikes and ambushes while darting around the map trying to keep the boss spawns open.

Blue rarity ships in 2019.

Well, if you're grinding for EXP and blue rarity ships one good thing about that level is that blue rarity ships drop on all nodes (not just the boss) and the more nodes you fight the more EXP you'll gain, so it's kinda a win-win situation.

Unfortunately, Nicholas only drops on the boss node. And 9-3 is a true pain in the proverbial for clearing space to the boss.

At least Houshou has the decency to drop on all nodes despite being purple. I got weirdly lucky when I got her: got her on the last node before the boss, and then immediately got a duplicate on the boss node.

For me it was around 200. She is a bad doggo.

Oh I've already done more than 200 back when I was grinding for Monarch. FYI, I've now done Neptune and I've just started Ibuki Izumo.

Ok, you're farming there then. My teams sometimes manage the 7-1 and 7-2 maps for EXP grinding. Currently grinding for Ibuki. But only slow with a quite expensive fleet, because I'm farming some higher maps to get these:

Spoiler

 

And since 10-1 has nothing special to offer, I'll try my luck for Honolulu at 10-2 now

 

Atleast until the Glorious Event drops, which requires 60 clearences in order to get Glorious without the need to build her.

There I'll properly try to farm as much exp as possible with my low cost IJN cruisers, since the event is rather easy(?)

Finally, late in the night and low on oil:

What to aim for next I wonder...

I think I'll leave the W8 drops to my daily hard-mode runs for now.

Maybe go for Radford, Jenkins and Nicholas? My Nep grind fleet should be ready for that I think.

[El2aZeR]

Well, that's it.

I ran out of fuel running ~160 sorties to E4 and no Fletcher to be seen. T_T

Also not a lot of detail but a new feature called oaths that cost 1000 steel or 1 molybdenum per captain. Unlocks a permanent camo that is tied to a captain.

Also since when there are regional ST servers?

Welp... that's the shortest event so far:

Dropped from a random fleet in my very first clear of SP3.

 

Now I only have to clear it 20 times instead of 60. POGGERS

why dey hate poi so much?

 

Japanese destroyer Yudachi, tier VII:

- "Torpedo reload boost" consumable added to a separate slot;
- Detectability range by sea increased from 6.48 to 7 km;
- Detectability range firing main guns in smoke increased from 2.42 to 2.61 km;
- Detectability range by air increased from 2.784 to 3.01 km.

The concept of Yudachi, as a destroyer with good concealment and powerful long-range torpedoes, works fine, but the gameplay on her can be quite monotonous. Yudachi has received "Torpedo reload boost" equipment in a separate slot to allow players to launch an extra wave of torpedoes at the right time. This will enhance the gameplay and will allow, with the correct use of equipment, to have a significant impact on the result of the battle. To compensate this reinforcement, her detectability range has been increased.

 

 

she got nerfed again...

I mean, are you implying that IJN premiums are bad? Certainly you wouldn't dare call the great Yukikaze-sama bad, would you?

Spoiler

Nah, it's not a good ship, but it seems miles better than Yuudachi or Asashio in terms of being viable and being designed to actually reward good play.

 

Also, I really like the ship and captain. Maybe it's because you have so little expectations of F3 torps on a DD with weak AA in the current meta, thus being surprisingly successful feels great, compared to getting yeeted on by CVs in Montpelier, despite expectations of decent AA. Also, T6-T8 matches with little to no CV and little to no radar (or the odd T9 match where the enemy cruisers are non-radar ones) is where Yukikaze can be absolutely silly, as you can imagine how fun it is to try dodge F3s in some T6 BB.

 

Worth 40 Euro? Not necessarily, but I have no regrets.

'Nerfed' might be a bit of a strong word for it. WG have given with one hand and taken away with the other - TRB in a separate slot? We're talking turning Yuudachi into pre-nerf Shiratsuyu but with longer-ranged torps than Shiratsuyu ever had. She needed some kind of nerf to compensate for that buff, so poof goes her concealment advantage (I mean, in all honesty, so long as the nerf wasn't giving her DWTs I'm fine with that).

She needed some kind of nerf to compensate for that buff, so poof goes her concealment advantage (I mean, in all honesty, so long as the nerf wasn't giving her DWTs I'm fine with that).

She already had:

• worse torpedo damage
• worse torpedo detection
• worse gun reload

Taking away concealment like this makes it absolutely clear that Yuudachi is going to play in goddamn second line spamming its horrid 15 km torps in fans of 16, for any scrub stupid enough to buy it. 5 km added range and TRB do not make up for being this garbage. Just to add insult to injury, Akatsuki still throws out more torps over sustained periods of time, which are better torpedoes in every aspect except range, has vastly more gunpower (Yuudachi loses out vs a Shinonome even), is much faster, has more hp, better AA (Akatsuki can actually shoot down planes of bad CV players who fly into flak, Yuudachi will never kill anything with its glorious 2(!) Hi-type 40 mm Vickers) and doesn't even enjoy much of a concealment advantage anymore (6.1 km compared to Akatsuki's 6.4 km and Shiratsuyu's 5.8 km or so). I just played a ton of akatsuki today for the event and ffs, I wouldn't want to touch Yuudachi with a 10 ft pole, just because I already know how fun it is to play a ship that has a lot of torps that are spotted easily and have more than enough range for a T7 DD. Imagining playing a ship that has even worse torps, worse mobility and not even the gun power (which on Akatsuki is actually pretty decent) is horrid.

 

And TRB is hardly the greatest thing ever. On Asashio it's brutal, because the torpedoes are absolutely lethal against BBs and the inability to predict whether the torps are reloaded or not helps. But when your torps are this lidl, I'd take concealment over this any day, because concealment is basically what seperates good T7 DDs from bad ones. If you look at what T7 DDs are actually doing well, it's the ones with good concealment, who can get uptiered and not be absolutely useless, which is also why all new premium DDs at T7 basically were good concealment designs, as T7 easily is the least forgiving tier for uptiered DDs and ships like Haida or Z-39 with good concealment retain at least somewhat playability when thrown vs T8s and T9s, while the likes of Blysca, Sims, Mahan and Akatsuki have to treat carefully and are either regarded as somewhat poor performers, have niche roles (Sims was most of all recommended just for farming one operation before rework) or they have solid enough performance outside (Akatsuki basically is decent to great in most aspects aside from concealment).
