My friend keeps saying that when playing cruisers or destroyers, HE is the way to go. Is he wrong? Edit: I know the in-game help says AP is best vs same class but dunno how important it is at the cruiser/destroyer level. Argas fucked around with this message at 00:02 on Mar 14, 2015 |

I'll never get the hang of when to smoke as a destroyer. I think it just places the smoke behind you, right?

I could use a US key for a friend.

EponymousMrYar posted:Shipped out in my Wakatake for some destroyer fun since I had a pretty bad time in my Omaha and got into a Tier 3 Destroyer vs. St. Louis game. I was on the destroyer side, 7 destroyers (and other boats) vs. 7 St. Louis (and some destroyers.) I tend to get some decent games with American destroyers because they have reasonably good guns, which makes them great for murdering other destroyers, especially ones who can only think in torpedo. With Japanese destroyers, I do poorly or really well. Your torpedoes are all you need and other destroyers and cruisers die to only a few torpedoes. Bigger ships take more but they also have a harder time getting out of the way.

What if the open-ocean map is completely blanketed by fog which behaves like persistent destroyer smoke?

I haven't seen a Kitakami pull its weight yet but I did have a late night game where both teams had three kitakami. They didn't end up amounting to much but it was goddamn terrifying to even be near them.

Playing a Destroyer in Ocean can be hilariously fun if you memorize your concealment range and don't get spotted by planes. And the most important skill in this game is not being noticed.

It's also important to note that unlike America, Japan was largely unable to translate the experience of their veteran pilots into lessons and training for their rookies. The US had a training carrier in the Great Lakes and the fuel to ensure that every single navy pilot had a few carrier landings under their belt before they were sent out. Rotating their crews also meant that they'd get a chance to pass on their experience. One note about Midway is that despite the staggered and sometimes unescorted attacks by the American squadrons, the Japanese personnel were seriously stressed. Land-based bombers from Midway barely hit anything but you can bet their nerves were frayed because they couldn't catch a break from being under attack.
