It has been around 3 or 4 Month since I started to grind the USN DD. Great fun, Great Carry potential, Great Power I mean I was totally amused during whole grind of this line. Especially Farragut and Fletcher was really fun. I really love this tree and can only recommend!!! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have seen the vids, and know there are people out there who do well with it; but in my limited experience with the ship I found it to be disappointing when compared to it's reputation. I've enjoyed Fletcher more. Sorry about being such a downer... Edited December 23, 2016 by Estimated_Prophet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
642 [-K--] iHaveNoIntelligence Members 1,817 posts 9,035 battles Report post #10 Posted December 23, 2016 Congrats!! Im halfway through the Fletcher.. Fletcher is such a nice ship especially it's torp is so powerful Best Torp boat In WoWs Grats! Well both Gun and Torp seems to be excellent At least someone is happy to get Gearing. I have seen the vids, and know there are people out there who do well with it; but in my limited experience with the ship I found it to be disappointing when compared to it's reputation. Well let's see if I also like this thing. I tried only one game for now. Gonna take few hours of break and start to play Gearing and German DD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1,013 [BONKS] DOCTOR_CITADEL [BONKS] Beta Testers 1,451 posts 15,270 battles Report post #11 Posted December 23, 2016 Congratulations! Quick advice that I learned the hard way when I first got it. Don't try to play it as close in as you would the Fletcher. Don't contest a cap at the start unless there are few DDs. Wait and time your moments because this DD is squishy and will get wrecked or deleted when spotted and concentrated. It's fat and slow. You don't want to have that happen in the beginning of the game and be handicapped on HP all game. The Gearing gets more and more dangerous as the game goes on, so concentrate on opportunistic caps and damage in the beginning with little to no risk to your ship. Mid to late game you can get more bucky and get in there. When 3-5 of the enemy ships have been thinned out is when the Gearing really shines. Then, you can get in there and do some work.

97 [DD214] Seamus_44 Members 816 posts 45,184 battles Report post #16 Posted December 23, 2016 Gearing is my favorite, still enjoy the Fletcher.. but Gearing with premium paint is fun, deadly, and a money maker. As already said, play a bit more carefully at the beginning. This boat really shines when the crowd thins out. Don't sell either the Benson or the Fletcher, both are really great boats. Have all three now with 19 point capts. )) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
