The Americans already exist. If you want a spammy torpedo boat, go with the Germans. If you want something a bit more balanced, the Grozhevoi at tier X isn't terrible either. The Japanese are, at the higher tiers, subpar torpedo boats with close to zero self defense ability.

Yeah, still hurts me to not play the IJN, i liked what they where supposed to be. I will play the German DD's und slowly my Americans aswell but the Pan Asia Tree looks just great.

I mean the Deep Water Torpedos scream BB Hunter. The decent Camo, Radar and US Guns for knife fights if need sound pretty good too.

... the Minekaze. I have yet to come to a ship that makes me feel good about ditching the minekaze...

So, basically with the introduction of DW torps, IJN ships are relegated to the role of torping careless DDs. That's about the only thing they can do better, except they suck at that too because of the torp detection range which means mostly just inexperienced players will get hit.

Hey guys do you have any advice with KAGERO?

 

 Can't hit something with the torp. I don't know why.

I bet my hit ratio is far more better with benson and Z23.

Get closer. Kagero has the best concealment in the game (well, I think T2 Tachibana is technically better), so as long as you don't hit radar or German sonar, you can get very close before you torp.

 

Always torp ships heading your direction, not away from you. If you can, try to aim to where there are multiple ships. Prioritise ships after size. Battleships are easier to hit than destroyers.

Is there any chance for some love from WG to IJN DDs? Bcs is really sad looking at Shima performance in TX battles (not mentioning Caln Battles)
