[POMF] Verdius Beta Tester 1,989 posts 4,247 battles Report post #26 Posted November 9, 2016 On the other hand, the torps seem to be rather good, even though they lack some damage. With such a low reload it will be easier to spam flooding on ships so that might compensate as well. Not to mention that the torps are 20 times stealthier than anything the IJN gets so they will hit far more. A tier 5 ships with just 105mm guns sounds rather horrible however. The tier 8 and 10 seem rather terrifying. Overall it seems like another line that heavily outclasses the IJN DDs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[BK] romarkov Players 45 posts 3,339 battles Report post #27 Posted November 9, 2016 So, that means only smoke for the T10 DD? On the other hand, the torps seem to be rather good, even though they lack some damage. T7-T10 both smoke and hydro, T6 I'm not sure. Until T5 only smoke.

[CR33D] fumtu [CR33D] Players 3,842 posts 38,926 battles Report post #30 Posted November 9, 2016 (edited) Tier IX and X : 15 RPM, traverse speed 18 deg/s Tier VIII : 9 RPM, traverse speed 8 deg/s Tier VII : 15 RPM, traverse speed 8 deg/s Tier VI : 8 RPM for 150 mm, 11,7 RPM for 128 mm, traverse speed 8 deg/s Tier II-V : 15 RPM, traverse speed 10 deg/s Well RoF is good. Turret traverse for T9 and T10 is good, T6 and T8 acceptable considering that they use 150mm guns, T7 quite slow but still better than IJN, T2-5 average. Looks really good. So better guns than IJN and better functional torps than IJN at high and mid tiers (remember that Minekaze will lose its top torps and will have 57kts 10k damage torps, while the Germans get 7.5km at 62kts at tier 5, Mutsuki gets 6km at 64kts, lol). Agree. Even before they release new IJN dds they look far from top or even balance. Really hope they will buff them. And I would accept faster, stealthier but lower damage torps over slower, easer detectable but higher damage ones any time. IJN dds are really loosing they purpose.

[DREAD] 1MajorKoenig Players 13,110 posts 7,885 battles Report post #36 Posted November 9, 2016 All sounds great and I am looking forward to the line and Spee! However I also agree that the IJN DDs need some love. Such beautiful ships - can't really understand why they are hit so bad by WG. They should be the line with the strongest torpedoes! If WG nerfs the hell out of torps (which is wrong imo) the IJN torps still need to be the best among the (weak) torps! It's hilarious that a T3 Campletown got 7.5km torps, Leningrad gets them and a IJN 610mm Torp has 6km on T6. That's just wrong. Sorry for the OT 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EsaTuunanen Beta Tester 3,552 posts 8,863 battles Report post #37 Posted November 9, 2016 Well RoF is good. Turret traverse for T9 and T10 is good, T6 and T8 acceptable considering that they use 150mm guns, T7 quite slow but still better than IJN, T2-5 average. 10 degrees per second at T2-5 is more than competitive. In fact it's same traverse speed as in Clemson. So better guns than IJN and better functional torps than IJN at high and mid tiers (remember that Minekaze will lose its top torps and will have 57kts 10k damage torps, while the Germans get 7.5km at 62kts at tier 5, Mutsuki gets 6km at 64kts, lol). With that combination of torps and (no doubt flat trajectory) guns I would expect also USN DDs losing players. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Take one of your ships, copy paste it with different name, slight stat changes and attached it to a celebrity, and profit. Just go to the NA forum and see how many people who are blindly willing to pay just for some eye candy. You can't call something expensive when so many players are willing to pay for it. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes you are right, 10 deg per sec is good for that tiers, except maybe for T5, more because of current MM but still not bad. And yes they could take place of the best or the most useful dds in the game. Maybe not tier for tier but still not far from top. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
