Is buying the Kagero a good investment for when the new DD line drops?

[MrRibz]

I really got into my Khaba and Gearing so stopped playing the Japanese dd,s but did like the different play style.

 

So my question........ Is 13 million credits on the Kagero a good investment as when the new line comes out they will drop it down to tier 8 and give us the new T9 free? like buy one get one free? 

 

I know its not WOT but that was normally the way it worked. Any news or info on what they plan to do with players who own the high tier DD's? I'm aware there have been topics on the new line but I wanted to ask about spending 13 million and getting two dds. 

 

[Nethraniel]

Nobody knows yet. Most probably they will just exchange the ships tier by tier, wouldn't count on getting the T8 Kagero and the new T9 replacement from only having the T9 Kagero in port.

[MrRibz]

So you think they would take away a T9 and give us a T8? Thats alot of xp and credits thrown away.

No, they will take your T9 Kagero and give you the new T9 Yugumo.

The T8 Kagero will replace the T8 Fubuki, and so on...

You should have asked this question at the weekend and bought it with the discount if you were going to go down that route.  I own the Kagero (bought it a few months ago when discounted) but I haven't played a single game in her because she seems so... unappealing.

Full stealth 5.4km detection and F3 torps with B hull make her really fun to play.

[T0byJug]

If i remember correctly lately in tanks we have not got the moved tank and the new one you just got the replacement and the old one unlocked so i suspect we will get the same.

 

as for the cost!! well you will not lose anything as you will get the new tier 9 ship

 

Yūgumo (new tier IX) douse not get the 20km torps! You dont want to use them anyway the 8km are much better. and a lot longer range guns +1.5km approx than the current Kagaroo. Yūgumo looks nice

Personally I played 1 game in Fubu and then stoped. I'm just waiting for tech tree split. For 2 months now

Fubuki at tier 8 is a great ship! Hope she will be good at tier 6 as well as there is no tier 6 DD i like at the moment.Use her train you captain ready for the change..

I've unlocked Fubu when WG annouced the tech tree split. They said SOON™ so I'm waiting.

And while IJN DD are not my favourite I can wait more.

Captain is already on 5th perk so no problem there too.

[JapLance]

When they announced the split I was at Minekaze. Thought it would be a good idea to get the Fubuki at tier 6 so I went through Mutsuki, and reached Hatsuharu in short time. At that moment I thought the change was going to be imminent (trees released, ships can be found while testing... blah blah blah) so I hesitated to buy Hatsuharu. In the end I did, and had time to finish it and start current Fubuki.

 

And the split is not yet on sight.

I used the discount this weekend to buy Shimakaze. Now I have all IJN DDs in port. The split can now be done.

[Xevious_Red]

I suspect they'll give you the tier 9 replacement in a straight 1 for 1 swap.

 

I have the hatsuharu and the fubuki in port awaiting the change.

 

I suspect I'll get their respective replacements  (tier 7 and 8) from the main line. My hope is that I'll get the respective replacements from both the main line AND the alternative line.

although it costs doubloons or cash the tier6 Anshan is a very nice ship

Your missing out! Fubuki is when they get realy GOOOD. She has good torps with the TOP 10km ones and she is a great little gun boat. Keep those peski Yank DDs at 8km+ and you can gun them down with you accurate guns compared to there high angle crap

I have thought about it Beer. But as there are no ships in that nation I wont buy a prem for then, Same with Perth (MMMM i dont think i will get Perth). OK OK i have the Błyskawica. But that is because i have visited that ship so she was a must to have in my port

I went and got the perth (you know what I'm like)

the perth is very much like a Belfast but the smoke screws with the enemy dds minds and they torp the shite out of the sea behind you

[Hedgehog1963]

I have the Kagero and Fubuki.  I've every expectation of getting replacement for Kagero at Tier IX, the Kagero herself at tier VIII and Fubuki at Tier VI.  What interests me most is what I will get by way of commander retraining.

[GeneraKrizmuz]

It's a terrible ship compared to its peers

What does flight angles have to do with accuracy? All DD lines have pretty much the same accuracy

But the turning radius is such a freaking pain!

God, my brain hurts every time I try to make a turn...

[Drunken_Jedi]

I'm only a few thousand XP from the Hatsuharu at the moment and tempted to unlock it since I really enjoy the ninja torpedo play style they offer. Could never really get into the Russian DD's. I really hope they don't cut Fubuki when they down tier her. Such an awesome ship and obviously popular with us Kancolle fans haha. Here's hoping for a Yuudachi premium in the future. 

[DinkyToy_AW]

Fubi is so much fun as i have right now +824K xp on it, hopefully i hit 1 mil. xp on the day of the IJN split is released 

 

Bought the Kagero back and give it a ohther chance as i saw i played it the same as the Fubi what didn't work for me 

[T0byJug]

easy a plunging USN shell that over shoot by lets say 10 M misses the ship. A shell coming in at say 40 degrees like a IJN DD and over shoots by the same distance will hit its target as it is coming in at a lot lower altitude

 

Rather simplistic pic i know but it gives you the idea. Dispersion is measured at the point it hits the water. so a shell with a shallow shell ark in reality as a lot higher chance of hitting target than a ship with a high shell ark

Also the faster shell velocity means u have to lead shot less and the enemy has less time to not be where you amined

Fair enough, but when you have a machine gun, you don't have to worry about accuracy same as when you have a rifle.

 

Which is fine btw, until I knew devs want to nerf the HE damage on IJN shells.
