Shiratsuyu works.

I started with the Shiratsuyu thinking it was junk, now my mind has changed. I finally got a ten point capt on her and use bft and aft which enables invisafire. Makes for an effective gun boat.

I started playing it a little differently and am getting good results with her now. I was actuall able to get my first solo warrior with her today.   sorry the pic is so small. you have to click it to see it.

Congrats on the solo warrior, that's a tough one to get.

Been playing for a year and still don't have solo warrior yet. It is a hard one. Congrats!

The ship is junk, you had one good match.   what was the tiers ?  5-7?

 

You had a Great match

 

I have them too, when I am top tier,  7-5.  once it's 7-9,  this ship doesn't really match up.

Shira is great. I dropped a 17 pt cpt in her and am Loving the results. Still learning it, though. She can stealth torp or invisifire. Requires serious planning...

​I have had more than one good match. The ship is good if you work it as it was intended to work and not try to force her into situations she cant handle. She is not good for rush capping or knife fighting.

There is no such thing as a good IJN DD anymore . they are all junk after the great  nerf of 5.15  . What a waste of designer time and players energy . DD's with highly visible /slower / easily dodged / shorter range torps with redesigned dual torp launchers poor guns and slow ship speed are just floating targets . The old ships got gutted  the new ships are inferior . Restore the old ships to what they were  put the new ships in the new line  and end this travesty .  A T 8 DD that is so slow there are cruisers 2 tiers below it that are faster ? What were they thinking ? The least a DD should be able to do is out run a cruiser . The torp nerfs were killers and who cares if my T8 Kagero's 6 guns have a reload of 7.5 sec . It's a stealth ship  Pull the triggers on those guns and you are dead  as you will be detected and your ship is so slow it can never get out of detection again if there does not happen to be an island Very close by . IJN dd's used to be fun .

Shouldn't require a 17 pt cpt to make a ship playable/fun.

[centarina]

only thing 15+ gives you is extra stealth.    it is nice to have against t8+, but not needed.  just have to play bit more conservative without it.

Poi is such an amazing ship to play.  That torpedo reload is impressive and the guns are usable... as IJN DD's have pretty much always had usable and effective guns for long range play... They play like really fast and maneuverable cruisers when facing off against targets.  The further away you are the less likely you are to be hit by incoming fire while abusing the WASD keys.

[Espinoza75]

She's playable with even a 6 point captain. A 10 makes her beautiful.

 

Kinda used to the slow spd as the old and new Fubuki andKagero are 35knots. Poi Iis 34.

 

Seriously, people need to learn not to charge blindly into the night.
