Reminder to enjoy the weekend and not stress yourself out.

Hey, if that helps you get some sleep during your autism rage fit.
I kind want to start a new line
The lines that i havnt started are
IJN CVs
IJN DDs
USN BBs
USN DDs
Any ideas?
So how is Fletcher anyway? Really like it IRL and wonder if it's any good in-game, especially after the jap nerf.

It's basically meta.
>>143667123
It's a great ship. Overall, the USN DD line is great.
>>143667118
IJN DDs start off good but get worse at higher tiers apart from maybe Fubuki
USN DDs end up very good at high tiers but is pretty lackluster at lower tiers
USN BBs are consistently average-great all the way through, so I'd agree with >>143667368
I just found out that CVs can drop torps from outside the mapeasiest spread ever landed

I don't mind because I still enjoy them to this day but holy shit.
And to top it off I think I quit playing after the DD kill mission but before finishing the fire mission so I didn't even get my fucking Myoko.

Permaspotting torpedoes. A squad of dive bombers who just happened to spot a DD launching torps shouldn't be able to properly track their vector and distance after it has traveled 10km without at least following them.

Way better if you're a USN DD player.

Could someone explain why Yamato is referred to as "hotel"? Is it some anime meme?
>>143674408
Its partly your nerves
I do my best when at the end of a , so that I have freeXP wasted
>>143676132
She's just like your Yamato in port: too expensive to take into battle and too pretty to take damage. Why not use her as port mascot?
>>143676132
It's a real life meme, the IJN sailors called her the Hotel because of the top-tier food and livability, and she never went anywhere, just hosted admirals in port.
>>143676132
Because she lets any man/bomb/torpedo inside
>>143676330
Don't forget the air conditioning, ice cream machine, ramune machine and a lot of space for the crew.
>>143675668
>4.5km "upgraded" torps on farragut
>4.5km stock torps on Mahan
truly suffering
>>143676132
Yamato spent exactly one day away from the Japanese anchorage at Truk lagoon between mid-August 1942 and early May 1943.
That, coupled with the fact that she had more comfortable living quarters (more space per person, air conditioning, motherfucking ice cream) meant that serving aboard the Yamato was akin to staying at a Hotel, hence Hotel Yamato.
i think im getting the hang of this
>>143676494
Did Mahan even have the option of long-range torps a year ago?
>>143676132
Admiral Yamamoto actually gained about 30lbs during his stay aboard the Yamato because of the food
>>143676686
it had 6.4km torps, but her detection is 7.6 (?)
basically the Mahan then is like Farragut now.
Makes it hard to hate the ship.

Hatsu is pretty much a side-grade from mutsuki.
>>143679349
I know, but Hatsu at least has semi-useful guns. I find myself capping and assisting cruisers with gunfire more often than using torpedoes, they don't hit anything but the few idiots who still haven't learned the WASD hack at ranges greater than 5km.

How do people regularly play in these tiers? It's driving me insane but what compels them, is it autism?
>>143702713
All that's easy in Yamato is eatin shima torp spams and permanently being lit on fire
>>143706449
Its called premium time, goy.
>>143705167
does this mean that the baBBy no longer fear the Kuma?
>>143706449
>How do people regularly play in these tiers?
5-7 are the best tiers. Anything below is too slow paced, and anything above is mind-numbingly passive. But 5-7 is where people start getting speed and range and aren't afraid to take a little damage.
>>143706449
most people in that tier are new, you can get your first t5 in <week and your first t6 in <10days if you're a casual.
Those people get into those tiers and dont know basic things and you see things like
>broadsiding CAs against everything because MUH CANNONS
>braodsiding BBs against everything because MUH EPIC BROADSIDE FIGHTS
>dds that rush caps and spent their short lives too close to other ships not abusing concealment
it makes it VERY easy to kill shit in those tiers and farm money and if you're a good goy, free XP
>>143706806
baBBies will always fear the kuma
Battleships never gave a shit, though.
>>143707038

>see kuma
>delete it
am i supposed to fear?
>>143712513
then you clearly aren't a baBBy? jesus fuck
baBBies fear the kuma because they cant hit it and get burnt down/torped
>>143712513
baBBies only fear the Kuma because baBBies can't aim, can't WASD hack, and can't anticipate torpedoes. A respectable battleship player laughs at Kuma because he knows how to delete CAsuals on a whim, he knows how to WASD, and he knows where and when to expect torpedoes, thus informing him of when to WASD.

To clarify what i mean is how do you know when you become undetected again once detected.
Also im T2, lay off
>>143719015
I know of at least one /wowsg/er who took the torp reload skill instead of LS for his first 2-point skill.
We not-infrequently get people asking whether they should take SE or AFT on their DDs.
>>143719495
You took situational awareness/read its description, didnt you?
so as long as the detected indicator isnt on screen im not being seen? it doesnt feel that way
>>143720208
Its not like just because you cant see a ship doesnt mean its not still moving in the direction and speed it was when it was last seen. Some people are just able to guesstimate your course for that brief moment.

Plans about new nations, trees and premium ships.
On Saturday, developer JamesWhite appeared on Wargaming FM, where he said among other things:
Source: http://forum.worldofwarships.ru/index.php?/topic/55430-%D0%BD%D0%B5%D0%BC%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%B3%D0%BE-%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%BE%D1%81%D1%82%D0%B5%D0%B9-%D0%BF%D0%BE-%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%B2%D1%8B%D0%BC-%D0%B2%D0%B5%D1%82%D0%BA%D0%B0%D0%BC-%D0%B8-%D0%BF%D1%80%D0%B5%D0%BC%D0%B0%D0%BC/
1. The development of the next tree (German battleships ?) is nearing completion. The modeling of a second tree (British cruisers ?) has been finished and the models are being tuned. The modeling a third tree has begun. The release of the third tree is planned for december, but may be postponed by 1-2 months.
2. The next nation represented in the game will be very unexpected, but definitely not the Italians, on which no work except collecting preliminary material has been done.
3. A premium German battleships of tier 4 is ready. How and when it will be made available is yet unclear.
4. The premium battleship USS Arizona will appear soon.
5. The cruiser IJN Katori will be distributed in partner bundles (Italeri).
6. There will be a German premium ship of tier 6.
7. There will be a French or an Italian premium ship this year.
8. The cruiser IJN Tone will probably not appear this year, and the game mechanics of its plane squadron is not decided.
9. The cruiser USS Salt Lake City (a Pensacola with torpedoes) has not been planed, the ship is not ready.
10. The destroyer USS Sims (open beta tier 7 ship) will be back on sales.
11. The will be no unique Japanese premium battleships or cruisers of tier 5-7 this year, but sister ships may appear.
12. The Russian cruiser Red Krimea will be distributed via a new Project R, which is planned for the second half of June.

By the way, for all of you Hipper owners, the new Hull C added with the patch prevent some turrets to fire at certain arcs.
Developers have been notified and they will rearrange AA guns so that main turrets have a wider arc of fire. This change will probably come in 0.5.6.1 or 0.5.6.2.
In other news, Yubari may receive her planned improvements in 0.5.7. Emphasize on the word may.

what the fuck is this abomination
If the C hull on Furu is taking away 3 main turrets, why does the Artillery stat go up ? Does it get 3x2 turrets instead ?
Apparently the Korean server for WoWS will be officially shut down, and merged with the Asia server. All player accounts on KR will be transferred to ASIA.
But, to no surprise, the people in charge might have fucked up something with Korean language support, due to issues with fonts, meaning that Korean players won't be able to play the game in Korean.

How about you actually look at the webms again and look at the health counts and the status of the NC's guns?
Amagi's ram was justified and was probably the correct choice given the circumstances. NC was right in not ramming.

>>143775473
If you, as a DD, have trouble dealing with CAs (outside of radar) and CVs (outside of RNGesus fucking you up with DB hits), you are bad.
Cruisers rely on the DD making a mistake, CVs rely on RNG to maybe hit the DD.
>>143778852

Evidently not, as they're all alive in that picture. A 12 inch gun from 1910 is probably exponentially weaker compared to Hotel's 18 inch gun.
>>143774670
>And which class is supposed to deal with DDs?
CV should provide the spotting, CA and DD gunboats should provide the firepower. Period. Too bad there is no reward for helping your team out with spotting.
By the way the real problem is in the current state of things:
>DDs are romulan starships that can live long and happy if they have two braincells to rub together, while farming exp with caps, or damage with the occasional torp wall, and in case things gets hot, they can just pop a white cloud and disappear for good
>CV are too self absorbed in shitting upon fat unmaneuverable targets to care about the outcome of the battle, or just their teammates
>CA are rightfully too afraid of BB citpenning them to oblivion to counter DD, also because in most cases they don't have enough speed to catch up with DD, nor viewrange to spot them
>BB are in a worse position compared to CA because their accuracy and RoF make shooting at DD pointless at ranges greater than 10km, so they're left with shitting on CA and plinking other BB
>The game in general doesn't reward taking risks or helping your team so there's that on top of everything
>Hunting DD is just too risky for those who can or should do it, and those who can help (DD and CV) won't do it because there's no reward

It was primarily a problem with 16 inch guns and above, especially the 18 inch guns on Yamato.
"The characteristic feature of Yamato's deck compared with other battleships was that it was 'empty' - without equipment. This was to do with the terrific blast from the 46cm guns. Ventilators and ventilation openings were constructed and placed in such a way as to avoid or reduce the effect of the blast. The necessary equipment, such as boats, planes and paravane, was kept in completely protected magazines or hangars. The construction and shape of the superstructure sides, the lack of platform supports, and the protection of anti-aircraft (AA) batteries, observation and machine-gun control positions by shields were also to reduce blast effect. Later on, the open HA and AA guns were manned only when the main artillery 46cm guns were not in action. (Table 6 shows the blast pressure in relation to the distance from the gun's muzzles) A blast pressure of .28kg/cm^2 was capable of destroying boats on board ship and a blast pressure of 1.16kg/cm^2 of tearing the clothing from crew and rendering them temporarily unconscious."

>>143781760
They also had electronic stops in place to keep from all 9 guns firing at the same time for fear of capsizing
All of these safety stops make me think. Was Yamato a good ship? Sure, she was extremely powerful, but were the guns more of a handicap than anticipated seeing as lifeboats needed to be hid during main battery operations and AAA guns couldnt be manned during firing?
Sorry you couldn't have fun raptor.
>>143790719
yeah, they were a bit too much. Probably would have been better to just add more 16 inch guns than most other ships at the time
How do I US DDs ?
Should I hunt other DDs ?
The torp range is until late ranks shorter than the concealment range, suicide runs with speed boosts ?
Should I use my guns against targets too ?
I've only played IJN DDs up till now and those were
>never use your guns unless you're already dead, then try to get a fire going
>snipe shit with your torps from outside concealment
>>143790719
You have to remember that this is all with hindsight. Back when they were designed air attacks were not as much of a concern: the carriers were supposed to deal with that. So the few AA mounts the Yamato class had at the beginning were probably considered plenty enough, and they were all enclosed away from the main guns, with more priority given to the secondary battery, which would be more useful in the "decisive [surface] battle" japanese doctrine revolved around.
The fact that they'd have to pack them up with all sorts of last-minute extra AA guns later in the war was an unforseen development, as oftentimes happens in history.
>>143792965
Since the whole idea behind the japanese navy budget was to be qualitatively superior to their enemies superior numbers, the 18" may have made more sense. Becuase you have two choices:
>Slice quickly through your enemies armor with 9 18inch guns, which your enemies armor was not designed to protect against
>Slug it out with 12 16inch guns of a caliber which your enemies armor is designed to be effective.against against. But the enemy also has more battleships than you have, so your extra gun advantage does not play out that well when you have only 2 yamatos and the enemy has 4 or more modern battleships.
>>143794772
>Should I hunt other DDs ?
yes
>The torp range is until late ranks shorter than the concealment range, suicide runs with speed boosts ?
Avoid suicide runs. You're more useful and valuable if you stay alive and take caps/distract busy enemies in the end game.
>Should I use my guns against targets too ?
If it's not possible to take caps, no more DD's to hunt, you're confident in your evading ability, the enemy is distracted or you need to take the attention of an enemy ship from a more valuable ally in trouble: yes.
Embrace the DD hunter lyfe.
>>143794772
Your guns will do a surprising amount of damage. Enough to finish off cruisers with less than half health, especially if your smoke is up. But the number one thing USN DDs do best is contest cap points. Always be doing that on domination, and on standard, screen for enemy destroyers.
>>143794772
Gunboat DDs are basically light cruisers with half health but more speed and access to smoke
US DDs are in between IJN DD stealth torpers and VMF smoke gunboats
>>143795220
That class says DD but dat hull CL.
>>143792965
Don't forget that most naval designers (and the admiralties and boards etc. etc.) back then 'knew' that the naval treaties were the only thing that had halted the arms race in the 1920s.
And everyone 'knew' that this arms race would have produced 18" gunned ships by ca. 1925 - 27, when the construction programs that were begun by 1920 (which all would have produced 16" gunned ships), would have been completed.
In many ways, the Yamatos are the logical result of this knowledge.
>>143794804
>The fact that they'd have to pack them up with all sorts of last-minute extra AA guns later in the war was an unforseen development, as oftentimes happens in history.
The rapid development of aircraft in the 30s was something that more or less overtook the battleships then under construction.
Everyone madly added AA guns to everything, and everyone realized that you needed big autocannons.
It's just that the USN had the industrial muscle available to shit out enough 40mm guns, and develop the VT fuzes.
In comparison, the IJN completely failed to apply the lessons they learned for various reasons.
Bump because I'm new to this game because it's the closest thing there is to Kankore without having to go through all the fucking hassle of getting a Japanese VPN and creating your account and getting the translator and shit.
>>143797807
>kankore
I will not say a thing just because you post best yamato_____:^)
>>143798424
At least he didn't sayKancolle Collection
>>143796396
it was the 40mm guns which definitely made the difference. The USN ships had a good combination of long range AA (5in dual purpose guns), mid range AA (40mm bofors, 76mm), and short range AA (.50 cal, 20mm, quad 1.1inch guns). And of course the proximity fuse
The IJN lacked significantly in mid range AA
>>143797807
If you fail to understand this game is completely unrelated to your fapping material, then you won't have a good time in this game at all.
>>143796396
It probably doesn't help that IJN and IJA shit on eachother constantly and fought over limited supplies.

The New York really can't compete with anything of its own tier, can it? I once brawled a Warspite to death with it, but that felt more like the luck of facing a blind opponent.
>>143807340
Unlike Kongo, NY actually has enough armor to bounce 14" AP.
With proper positioning you can fight Fusos and (to a lesser degree) Warspites.
Do not try to use the center turret while moving towards the enemy BBs, if you do it you expose your broadside.
Same for the #2 turret while movnig away from the enemy.
Firing two extra shells is not worth eating a citpen or three.
>>143807340

I had an epiphany, /vg/.
The US cruiser line goes Erie, Chester, StLouis, Phoenix, Clemson, Omaha, Nicholas, Farragut, Mahan, Benson, Fletcher, Gearing. It's a very clean balance of maneuverability and shootiness.
The US battleship line starts with Cleveland and gets slower as you go toward Des Moines.
There are other US ships but they're not worth playing.
>>143810158
>Relies on teammates distracting the enemies to avoid losing 90% of your health in a salvo, which is about 1% chance.
since it's slower than Kongo it's actually more likely than you think cause everyone tries to shoot the first ship they see aka certain 30 knots battlecruiser

>USN DDs
Hunt DDs (you win gun duels against most), spot and capture, if you see a retarded baBBy who closes range with you (most of them will) go for torps, if you think you're clever hide behind islands to torp things, otherwise guns only.
Dodge while running away when things shoot at you, you don't explode quite as easily as IJN and you only have 40% chance to lose propulsion each time you're hit instead of 80%.

If they hit you and deal some shitty non-citpen damage to unarmored parts of your ship, you can repair most of it.

>>143822463
If the Bismarck could somehow avoid the plunging fire from the 406mm guns of the Iowa and close in to 15-18 kilometers certainly yes.
Iowa vs Yamato is much more even though, the Iowa just needed to get within 25km of Hotel and her armor wouldn't stop 16 inch shells.
>>143823007
You meant 14 inch on disproportionally large ships with defective turrets, right?

>>143837518
I should really start on the US BBs
I have the Wyoming, but i really didnt enjoy its shotgun playstyle
I sold it to buy the langley as my first CV
Plus i really need credits
I re bought the nagato in preparation for ranked and im also grinding the Yorck, Aoba, and Izumo (although with the Izumo, what im trying to do is horde all the free XP i can using the PP flags then judge how much im willing to spend to cover for the Yamato, then grind out the Difference on the Izumo herself)
>>143838304
After I got to the NM I had a pretty good time, I had good memories of it from CBT.
I really enjoyed the Colorado too, probably enjoyed more than my Nagato (which is big because Gato was the reason I started playing the game and she'll always have a special place in my heart) and the NC. I'm thinking about rebuying them both when I'm no longer broke as fuck in silver.
Iowa worth it as fuck though, especially after these latest buffs, I'm enjoying her more than my Hotel lately.desu I gave up on the Izumo and free XP'd through a bunch of it.
>>143839185
Yamato was the reason i started.
I downloaded the game first weekend of OBT and started right down the IJN BB line.
Sure, i may have started plenty of other lines on my way down to Yamato, but its still the line im furthest down
Ill probably buy a nice Cigar for the day i get my Yamato
Im also hyped for KM BBs
And i really want RN BBs to be a thing soon
>>143840446
I know that feel.
I went straight to the Nagato without touching another line, and as soon as I got there I knew BBs were my calling. After that I powered down through the next few ships and didn't touch a single other line until I got my Hotel.And now it's turned me into a damn weeb who plays KC and is about to start a 1/350 model of her.
As dumb as it sounds finally unlocking that Yamato was probably the high point of the year for me, it was totally worth the grind.
Good luck anon, you'll enjoy it when you get there.Only one that's not in the game that I want is the Richelieu.
>>143842001
Like i said. I absolutely love playing BBs, but my im just now getting better with them after 1k games and a T9 IJN BB. Although im doing a bunch of stat padding with Nagato.
And thanks. Lets hope that WG buffs the Izumo or i collect enough free XP to just go straight to her without putting down hard cash
>>143842001
Also, post progress with the model. Those are always cool.
You going with the $200 one from Tamiya?
>>143840446
>>143842001
I too know this feel, but I'm still stuck on Amagi. I'm a very aggressive player, I like to go hard and dive into the enemy. I can't do that in Amagi, Tirpitzs and North Carolinas tear my apart at close range, and long range play just isn't fun. The high tier meta isn't fun either. I've had Amagi since October and I just broke 100K xp this morning. I don't know how long Izumo is going to take. Business6 said its alright in his review video, I trust what he says... But I've also rekt Izumos in my Amagi pretty quickly. And since I play without premium, the expenses are astronomical and will get even worse with Izumo.
I don't know, man, I really want my Hotel just to say I have her... But would it be worth it? It'd take multiple tier 5 games to fuel her repair bill, and those few games I could play in Hotel would be dealing with the horrible endgame meta of bow pointing and HE spam.
>>143843213
Izumo is an alright ship
She suffers in the same way Yorck does
She's just incredibly mediocre compared to the Iowa
26sec rudder shift is mind numbingly painful
She's a big target with a huge continuous citadel, so its easy to hit
And her guns need a penetration buff (again)
Cit pens are hard to come by while using her guns
But with 300k some xp between the stock Izumo and the Yamato, youll be spending plenty of time with her
>>143842765
Yeah, their newer one from I think 2011.
Couldn't find one here in 'Straya so I'm still waiting on the international shipping, which should be another week or so. I'll post some pictures when I start making some progress.

It actually inspired me to go up the IJN DD line too, which has been fun so far. I got to the Hatsuharu and have been playing her like a gunboat because that what I have experience with from the Polan DD and the Russian line.

>>143876206
We're a few months in already, Shiro. let it go. I'm up to the Schors and if the first 7 tiers are anything to go by, I can definitely see how vodka cruisers are wiping the floor with everybody else.
IJN's either getting the nerfbat or going to get powercreeped by new lines. Their DD line is absolute trash now, the cruisers are no longer relevant, their BBs are just barely better than USN now.

>Their DD line is absolute trash now,
They were always trash. It's just that the other lines' DDs were trashier for the longest time.
>the cruisers are no longer relevant,
What does that mean? IJN cruisers are still excellent all-rounders.Yeah, Mogami got nerfed, but even as she is, she holds her ground perfectly well.
>their BBs are just barely better than USN now.
Is that a bad thing? IJN BBs were always solid and remain so to this day.
IJN DDs need a rework, but the cruiser and BB lines are still solid and viable.
>>143845239
>The general rule is that you will always fuck up your first model
Really? My first model was White Glint from Armored Core, and it turned out pretty decent.
My real problem is I went out, got a nice airbrush, compressor etc. But I have nowhere to actually paint, so I have all these models I'm too afraid to start because I want to be able to paint them.

There are non-sapient humanoid life forms living on this planet. They aren't self-aware or able to conceptualize the idea of a future. They can only respond to immediate stimuli, just like Pavlov's dog.

>>143875329I wish I could set Miho's voice for every ship. I enjoy her voice a lot, but having to play two boring ships (Kongo and Myoko) just to hear her is not worth it.
>>143877730
The Mogami is one of the worst-performing T8 cruisers now, right on par with the Nawlins and Hipper.
Are IJNfags so much in denial that their line is getting shat on?
>>143879458
So "average" is now synonym for bad?
Are you so bad that you can't play a ship unless it's the top overperformer ever?
>>143879458
That's because Mogamin is T7, anon.
>>143879765
but how else can someone sealclub and stat pad if they don't play only the best ship

So it's firmly average, only to be exceeded by the Ruskie and two (comparatively) OP premiums. Get out.

>>143882475
>irrelevant
>outdamages everything but CVs and Yamato
>still extremely high winrate at t10.
>>143881940
I don't get this, wouldn't an IJN fanboy want everyone to think their ships are as shitty as possible? That way the don't get nerfed as much and their play can't just be explained away with "you're just playing an OP ship so none of your achievements count".
Hell I welcome any buffs to the lines I'm not playing because I get to be more of a speshul snowflake instead of just playing the same ship as literally everyone else.
>>143882758
>IJN players make the most noise when they get their shit nerfed or have their line get overtaken
Which ones? Certainly not the IJN players here on /wowsg/ who have been pretty chill about everything from what I gather. Do you mean the ones on leddit and the official forums? Who the fuck cares about them.
Stop trying to start shit.
>>143883027
You mean the same fags who post reaction images and sperg out whenever IJN DDs torps keep getting nerfed? Maybe they should just go back to the forums then.
>>143883218
There was relatively little sperging out about IJN torp nerfs here. Who in /wowsg/ even really plays IJN DDs consistently anymore? The ones I think of when I think IJN DDs are Mayhem and Victtorin, and they're both long gone.
>>143879904
This. "Surprising" is codeword for Chinese, a line no one wants and that shouldn't even be in the game, but one we're going to get before Britain, before Italy, and before France, countries that were actually relevant at sea. No one outside of China gives a fuck about China, but I guess they need to cash in there. They'll literally be re-skinned Russian and American destroyers, just like the Chinese line in WoT.
>>143883493
>Who in /wowsg/ even really plays IJN DDs consistently anymore?
Do you mean Umikaze and Isokaze, or Shimakaze?Because I mainly play Umikaze and Isokaze
>>143883556
>but one we're going to get before Britain
But they already said the mystery line is coming after British cruisers.
>>143883683
Did they? I'm somadabout the idea of a Chinese line before other far more important nations that I might have overlooked that.
Not that anyone cares about British cruisers either, they're all hideous, but whatever. Better British anything than Chinese anything.
>>143883639
I mean high-tier IJN DDs, i.e. the recipients of the IJN torp nerfs. Low-tier IJN DDs have been left well enough alone and still sealclub hard.
Why Isokaze instead of Minekaze/Kamikaze?
>>143883940
Isokaze is equal to or better than Minekaze in every way. Minekaze had 10km torps (vs 7km) to compensate but pressing WASD is too hard for BBs so they took them out. I still play her but she's no longer #1.
I've never bothered to try Muchuki or higher because the torp stats vs detection range just look awful.
>>143884215
My sealclubber of choice is Kamikaze, actually. A couple of reasons:
1) Your food of choice are big stupid battlebote players. By playing a T5 DD, you expand your food pool another tier to also include T7 BBs.
2) CLs actually represent a bigger threat to you than CAs, so by being up a tier, you statistically see fewer CLs.
3) Kamikaze's guns are actually pretty usable to fuck over low-HP enemies or low-tier enemy DDs. I guess if you only have Minekaze, this is point is a wash.
The torps may be the same, but I feel the ship's other considerations give it the edge over Isokaze.
>>143884785
Sounds nice. I don't have Fuujin or Kamikaze. Minekaze's guns turn so slowly that I have to stop changing course to use them, which means death when detected.
>>143882523
>>that invisifiring buff that greatly benefited Ibuki and Zao
>Not knowing that invisfire was recently nerfed
>>143883493
The funny thing is that as IJN DDs got nerfed, we got a new breed of /wowsg/s playing them as gunships for great results.
>>143885246
>by 700 meters
>from Zao's 3.5km invisifire bubble
STOP THE PRESSES
Yeah you are right, it's still OP as hell.
>>143885142
Even the Minekaze's guns are useful, especially if you got a few extra points lying around and dump them into EM. Yes, I'm serious.
>>143885246
>Zao's post-firing bloom got bigger
