If a BB is dodging 5/6 of your torps, you're firing them way too soon. Also, against a BB, you have to make ALL your torps count, or you're toast. Their secondaries will eat you aliveat close range. I've been having fun in the Isokaze, but I'm looking forward to moving on to the Minekaze as well. The Clemson is a turd. It's only saving grace is that it has two sets of torps on each side, giving you one hell of a benefit in a close-in fight with multiple attackers. The one fun moment I've had so far is driving right down the middle of three enemy DDs in the center of a cap. They all launched at me, and I held fire while dodging torpedoes. They managed to sink on of their own, then I took care of the other two at virtually the same time; two groups from each side. I popped smoke, poured on the coals, and got the hell out of there :) Quote HistoryQuoted:

I launched them on wide spread... should have switched to narrow. I generally find torps are pretty damn easy to dodge if you don't have your head up your ass with target fixation. I tore up an enemy DD the other night in one of my DDs... got in close before I detected him, ran straight at him, making it stupid easy to dodge his torps while my forward guns finished him off. He was already damaged when I engaged, but it's a good tactic to either turn directly into or away from a DD if you're within his torpedo range. |

Seriously? the Gremy is great? I think it's badly flawed for a premium ship. The torpedo reload time is insanely long and it seems like every hit on the stern of the ship knocks out propulsion or steering. I find it very frustrating to play. M256 Quote HistoryQuoted:

I find it very frustrating to play. M256 I was averaging almost 2600xp a match in the Gremy before the patch. Obviously that will come down due to the economy/xp going to their historical norms, but I still have been doing well with it (the guns are fantastic, the torps are good, the ship itself is very good). Some people can't play it to it's potential. I think it's a clubber, personally. |

Just unlocked the 10k torps on the Minekaze last night but did not have a chance to test them out yet. DDs require skill to play well in general. I induced rage on the last match on my Isokaze before selling it by sinking 3 full health cruisers in a row while hiding behind the same island with torp spreads. If you had the stand off playstyle for the IJN DDs you should be fine, USN DDs took it in the ass hard on this patch Quote HistoryQuoted:

The 7.0km torps are better due to their speed and lower range detection. I was a master with the 10KM torps and had a 50% win rate on that ship, I was going to move back to the 7KM torps when I unlocked the skill that reduced detection but never made it that far with the Minekaze. The 15k and 20k torps are all sorts of fun too on the higher tier DDs, if you can get around to where there are a bunch of ships headed in the same direction from 12KM out and let a salvo go you could fuck a few of them up at a time |

You can make a case for the mod boosting secondaries on IJN BBs, but it seemed to me that the tier 9 and 10 BBs' secondaries were only a little better than the US counterparts and no where near as good as the Amagi (tier 8). |

Blackhawk-
Some positive feedback (still feel a little guilty of how much bitching I did during CBT). - I really like the improved torpedo warning that is both visual and audible with the voice over. - I would love to see that make its way to obstacle and friendly ship avoidance as well. "Allied ship of our port bow" or "Iceberg, dead ahead!" |

My aa guns didn't do a damn thing against the enemy planes and they went right by me and took out our carrier. I'm pretty pissed off about it. your AA guns probably got knocked out No the match had just started, I had not taken a hit at all. I can show where I can equip the two different kinds in the port along with the sonar ping. Maybe it just wasn't showing up for some reason, I did have the AA ability equipped and not the sonar ping. |

The Omaha makes me sad. What's wrong? I liked it best with the second hull, not the final one (final one gains a lot of AA but gives up a couple main guns and a set of torp tubes on each side, and doesn't gain any speed or maneuverability to compensate). Only downside to that version is, it shows 10x 1.1" AA batteries, but the stats only mention 8 of them. Be really nice to have those last 2 (atop the fore gun sponsons) figured into the stats as well. |

I WANT MY CLEVELAND BACK! It and the St. Louie are the only ships I've played so far that have made me say "Yep, I have to keep that." After that, it's on to American BBs, I will have a Montana before summer is over. |

All 3 losses weren't even close. Guys getting killed in less than 2 minutes, teams that think "splitting up" at the beginning is a good idea, or that focusing fire means shoot at the HIGHEST HP target that is the FARTHEST away from your ship, vs. taking out the 5% HP St. Louis at point blank range that is burning your ship to the ground. 
Even with 87 hits I still lost
Down to 53% WR now, was at 57% 2 days ago...definitely a factor of playing solo vs. in a division. |

Are you using AP or HE primarily in the St Louis? I engaged two Tenryus using AP and had 9 citadel hits between them in like 20 seconds. They melted like butter. Then on to another St Louis, and citadeled him 3 more times and took him down, then finally got killed by another St Louis, but not before I had him down to 7k hp with 4 more citadels. In literally 180 seconds of battle, I had three kills, plus one more than fell a couple seconds later, and was dead for the next 13 minutes as the team won. I was still second in XP, and I guarantee I was first or second in damage. The Omaha and Murmansk are similar at their tier for getting citadel hits. If you can aim, you can wreck shop (especially with the Murmansk and it's 14.8km guns). Had my first draw tonight when the Aoba on the cap drove off with 2.5 minutes remaining in the game, and he had already gotten cap up to slightly over halfway when he decided it would be a good idea to chase the last remaining opfor CV. I really hate stupid motherfuckers in this game. It hurts far worse than in WoT. |

I really hate stupid motherfuckers in this game. It hurts far worse than in WoT. I usually start with HE on my cruisers since it works on all ships, and typically the first thing I'll have to engage is likely an enemy DD. Once I know my target, I'll switch over to AP if its another cruiser. Sometimes I'll switch back and do a salvo of HE to set him on fire again, and then keep pounding with AP for citadel hits. If I'm up against a CV or BB I'll pretty much spam HE as the constant and consistent damage seems to be the best plan. The draw I had vs. Journey should have been a win for Journey's team, but a similar thing happened...the guys with the most cap points sailed off cap when it was 3/4 captured and there was about 1:30 left to engage our full health BB. Even though they had 2 guys on cap, they couldn't overcome the spread. |

played a couple of hours last night, and am starting to get a better feel for the OBT gameplay. had a fun BB game while watching journey's stream--we wound up on the same team, and he was calling it over the stream audio. there's ~15-20sec delay, but it actually works OK since the fight is more positional than quick-twitch.
we come around an island, and it's the two of us (wyoming and arkansas) looking at about half their team. but there's nothing to be done about it, so we just start focusing down ships--i shoot whatever he's shooting, and then 20 seconds later i hear "shoot the saint louis". we pretty much vaporize the guy with the first broadsides, and then it's on to the next one. so it's gonna be a really short game, but at least we're going to go down in a blaze of glory. then my framerate crashes--i'm down to a ~5-8 fps slideshow. fuck. now i'm not going to be able to hit anything, we're going to lose, and i'm going to look like an idiot in front of everyone watching the stream. 20 seconds later, i hear "what the fuck?"...and everyone's framerate crashes. journey is ranting, and the in-game chat is filling up with comments. on the bright side, this is about the only way we're going to survive sailing in the open in front of 80 guns. so we just keep shooting. journey keeps yelling "shoot that fucking guy!", and i'm actually yelling back at the monitor "he's behind a goddamn island!" at one point, journey says "any motherfucker still getting 70fps is like neo in the matrix right now".
we eventually find neo--a minekaze sitting in his own smoke behind an island at their cap. nailed both of us. probably the smartest guy in the server. |
