Kandly Players 408 posts 651 battles Report post #1 Posted August 15, 2017 Hi guys, Flamu uploaded a cool video a few days ago, you can check it out here. This inspired me to start a conversation on Tier X Destroyers, because why not? They're all awesome in their own way and I bet everyone has a favorite! Actually, I know, 'cause similar topics have also been started in the past - shhhh... Which one is your favorite (considering its play style) and why? Also, was it always like this or did your opinion change in time? Cheers, Kandly 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[IRQ] AnotherDuck [IRQ] Players 2,930 posts 7,510 battles Report post #5 Posted August 15, 2017 Only have Shimakaze and Fletcher, but the latter isn't on the poll. And I'm too cheap to buy Gearing, so I have no opinion on that ship yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[NWP] tank276 [NWP] Players 891 posts 9,271 battles Report post #7 Posted August 15, 2017 Khabarovsk, though its playstyle resembles a mini cruiser. From the normal DDs maybe the Z52 but I have only few battles in it. Dont own the Shimakaze yet. Gearing I consider a downgrade from the Fletcher, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[CAIN] Jethro_Grey Players 5,207 posts 25,733 battles Report post #9 Posted August 15, 2017 Difficult choice to make as i like them all, even the Z52 which could use some love. My most played one is the Shima which i wuv for her ability to wreck any ship with a single spread. Gearing for its versatility and ability to go one on one with most BBs in a gun fight and win. Khaba, well i don't need to say anything about the Khaba, now do i? Grozovoi because it plays like a stealth version of the Udaloi. The Z52...because it looks good.

[MBSSX] OldschoolGaming_YouTube Beta Tester 3,274 posts 16,879 battles Report post #13 Posted August 15, 2017 Khaba of course! Fletcher (why is Gearing even here?) Shimakaze (great ship but have no place in this broken Meta) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[SCRUB] Aotearas Players 8,460 posts 13,076 battles Report post #15 Posted August 15, 2017 Why is the Khabarovsk on that list? She's a light cruiser, not a DD. Seriously though, this ship needs cruiser MM. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[HAVEN] Kashuken Players 720 posts 8,445 battles Report post #18 Posted August 15, 2017 Shima because it is the only one i have and i like to torp with a DD more than gun. I want to go up the USA line for the gunboat tbh. I have ignored the RU DD line, is it even real tbh or just made up russian bias? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[4_0_4] Zemeritt Players 9,337 posts 16,254 battles Report post #19 Posted August 15, 2017 I don't even consider the Khebab a DD, it's a broken CL at best. I enjoy the Z52 alot. With hydro your the bully in capfights, as long as there is no enemy radar close by. The torps are also quite nice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[TEPES] VeteranGamer84 Players 1,314 posts 52,321 battles Report post #20 Posted August 15, 2017 I voted for the Khabarovsk which if played correctly can mess with the enemy team. It's the most feared destroyer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ferry_25 Players 4,392 posts 12,107 battles Report post #21 Posted August 15, 2017 I already gave my input somewhere else about this. I have 2 TX DD's: Shima and Gearing. Didn't touch the Russian DD's since that IMO awful split (having to re-research the entire KIEV upgrades when I already had them!!! and no that extra premium cammo doesn't compensate that) and didn't bother with the KM line with that idiot gunbloom (that's "gone" now I know). My personal problem, until now is I can't bring the motivation to try a line which has gave me the feeling of driven me off. My weakness. So in my case it's S and G. I can't give a straight answer OP. It all highly depends on the situation. Sometimes G or S shines. And sometimes (OK often) I suck in them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EmilyFara Players 1,091 posts 2,423 battles Report post #22 Posted August 15, 2017 The cynic in me always gets suspicious when devs ask these questions though. In the back of my head the thought lingers that it is just a poll to see what they should nerf next I am a bit surprised at how many people still like the shimikaze.

[ENUF] Ze_Reckless [ENUF] Players 2,532 posts 23,427 battles Report post #23 Posted August 16, 2017 Though Khabarovsk is the strongest of them all I find it boring to play. So I don't play it often, even if that means I miss out on elite captain xp. I voted Shimakaze because it isn't easy to play and it's a lot of fun if you get it to work. I switched back to F3 torpedoes for even more fun. I'm looking forward to the release of the RN BBs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
