campbeltown buff needed

[matalanfighter]

We all know that Campbeltown is pretty awful and needs more luck than skill. It should be buffed - at least make the 76mm as secondary too with reasonable 5km range and 10+ % fire chance?

Ideally it should have one more 105mm but it won't happen, so having at least a secondary that is useful would be better than nothing.

Also a 30+ second torpedo reload maybe the other good option.

No it is not.

 

I like it immensely It just needs the player to get their head around its unusual little traits

I can't see any battle that you fought with the Campbeltown, so how can you judge it?

No the torps angles are great (7,5 range) and she is a premium do not need to be a OP premium.

It is obviously in need of a buff.....being the best performing DD in it's tier... (and yes, I do not know how to drive her properly before anyone feels like being a turd :) ).

Yes. a 76mm secondary at tier 3 with more range than tier 6 BBs secondaries, and higher fire chance than a Russian 130mm.

 

Seems balanced .

It's a lovely tier 3 ship with super accurate pop guns and probably OP torps, but she does need looking after and pick her fights carefully ( my normal fail!)

Yes the stats above shows that

[jss78]

I'd actually argue the Campbelltown is the polar opposite of a "luck" ship. You have small spreads of torps which are extremely powerful for T3.

 

With no "walls of skill" to rely on, it's very much a high skill -> high reward ship to me.

 

[Sams_Baneblade]

30s reload would make it OPAF. And that secondary gun would be stupidly good for its size+Tier.

IF the CampbellSoup had to receive any buff, I would vote for single torp launch option. And/or a minimal reload buff, like 6 seconds or so. But it seems good enough for me as it is now.

[Jethro_Grey]

I have to agree with OP, Campbelltown is so weak and completely underpowered when compared directly to her peers i.e. the Gearing and Khaba.

Another major eff up by WGs balancing department.

If it gets anything i'd go with the option to single launch torps, Campbeltown herself is doing well enough though.

[Armorin]

I do very well in the Campbeltown. IJN style torps, nice 7.5km range triple torpedo launchers, and USN style rapid firing guns. Best T3 DD I have.

[Strapps]

Second or third (or whatever it's up to) the motion for single-launch torpedoes. While the Campbeltown is basically a Wickes with a missing gun, the torpedoes appear to be British so it'd make sense to give her that characteristic and keep the British DD line consistent.

[Armorin]

The Campbeltown was actually a US lend-lease ship. It was packed with explosives and rammed into a dry dock during a commando raid on the west coast of France. Dry dock wasn't back in action until well after the war!

I think we need a British DD line after we get the BB line, and then some CV's. During the time period the RN was a major naval power on par with the USN. I think the Washington/London naval capital ship treaties allowed for 5:5:3:2:1 ratio of US,UK,JP,FR,IT capital ships.

[lameoll]

i cant win games today and i blame!!!...... the campbeltown

[1MajorKoenig]

Campletown...buff? Ha ahaha?

 

seriously... but no. Won her in some event but think she's boring and sold her. Her torps are OP though.

FR IT had the same quota 1,75 corresponding to 5x35000T ships =175000 T. Thats WNT - All nations did not sign London treaty

[Sams_Baneblade]

I have some very good memories with her.

 

It includes a double kill with a single torp set and a single hit detonating an Arkansas. In both case, the ennemies was full hp, sailing in a straight line, was hit from the front and died after two minutes in the game.

 

I juste unlocked CE, I'm curious to see the result. :D
