First game with my tier 3 DD full speed lateral movement vs a BB 7k away. I launch my torps and he fires his first volley. All of his shots hit and I ded in 1 volley. 1st shot of the game .

It's the best feeling in the word when you aim a salvo of torpedoes at a BB that's 7k away and like 30 seconds later you see a battleship destroyed

NTRabbit posted:I'm the opposite, I hate driving them. The number of times I've been single shotted or single salvoed today before getting within torpedo range is unreal. Destroyers are like a couple of the light tanks, really fun when nobody is shooting at you. I think they need a survivability buff, they're far and away the weakest torpedo delivery system in the game right now. Have you played the IJN destroyers?

You can with torps. It's like the French autoloaders except even better. You get in, launch the torps where they will be, and get out. You don't even need to be in their LOS if you get it right. Open seas is another matter.

They need to implement it so that the closer you release your torps from the bombers, the higher the chance that they get completely wiped out. When IJN bombers came up against US Navy BBs, it was basically a death sentence within 100m. They should just make everyone go manual on the bombers and decide when they should release.

Tier 6 INJ destroyer sucks stock. I went from 3 torpedo launchers with 30 sec reload to 2 with like a minutes reload. to be fair its the same amount of torpedoes, just now 3 per launcher. It's just that its such a slow reload...i feel like a cruiser SuperSix fucked around with this message at 00:08 on Mar 16, 2015 |

It's still a pain playing IJN DDs Although their concealment is crazy. 6km detection basically means i can slip through most maps and right to the CVs, that + smoke is almost a guaranteed carrier kill or two

Adventure Pigeon posted:Remember that you can hammer and anvil your torpedoes with a destroyer, the same way you would with a carrier. That seems to be the best way to ensure that enemy destroyers die. That's why I hate the fact that high tier DD's only have 2 launchers instead of 3. With 3 launchers I can shoot one thats on point, one that hits if the enemy accelerates, and one that hits if he slows down or turn away. With two it's a lot harder

Adventure Pigeon posted:Yeah, I'm not looking forward to the tier 6 Japanese destroyer. Ah well, once I get to the high tiers I'll make the most beautiful patterns with my horrific torpedo swarms. the only good part about this ship right now is that ive got my commander skilled in the smoke skill and im dumping smoke everywhere now that and the fact that my concealment is around 6k makes it bareable

BadLlama posted:It is also a huge speed upgrade from the previous ship. I am guessing people don't think its good because it isn't a ww1 pirate ship that lets you broadside a million guns at once like the St Louis. I think its a good ship. Seriously, I just didn't find the St.Louis enjoyable. It was the TOG of ships

Focusing your AA by pressing ALT and clicking on planes flying above you is OP as gently caress Honestly i'm in the Cleveland and I'm almost having as much fun just completely tearing apart torpedo wings than actually killing ships

Ive had one pubby say something along the lines of "Why are you retards capping, its a GAMEPLAY TEST" After I proceeded to tell him caps were a part of gameplay, he proceeded to call me dumb.

BadLlama posted:Am I crazy for thinking destroyers should have a clear advantage in raw speed? I fully agree that they are kings of mobility and are hard to detect but really all they seem to be right now are smaller harder to hit cruisers with less firepower and far less hit points but with a better ability to ambush. I dunno I just think they should be have more distinction. It's hard to have even more speed and be realistic. For example the Farragut in real life had around 36 knots at half speed. More realistic I think is if they upgraded the concealment to balance it out, at least to have the detection range at something like 4-5k instead of 6.

James Garfield posted:Considering how equal tier battleships and cruisers compare, where even if the cruiser has every advantage in positioning I'd expect a non stupid battleship to win with more than half its health left? I don't know if destroyers were ever suppose to counter battleships. Ship classes aren't suppose to be balanced 1v1v1, and you should never be expecting to 1v1 a battleship unless his turret is facing away from you or you got the jump on him.

Protip: If you're in a cruiser (ala Cleveland) and you're up against another cruiser, AIM FOR THEIR GUNS. I was dueling Cleveland vs Cleveland and he was 5k away, I systematically took out all his turrets and he couldn't fire at all. I was pretty much taking a turret every volley. AP of course, you should never be using HE

Made it to Tier 6 IJN destroyers before I couldn't anymore. Pretty much surface submarines as the guns are useless unless you're not turning at all and moving at 5 knots. Starting to go down the USN destroyer path, might be better. I realized that after that many games on a destroyer, high range torps are pretty much useless vs. anyone competent, and that if you're channel mining it's pretty much down to luck and not fun since it's a 1:20 reload time.
