I get seen...I die. I smoke up...I get radared..and die. Or have about 50 torps come at me...and die. My torps can be dodged by a one legged sloth. My guns suck. Why do I do this to myself?

She's been power nerfed with torp reload or smoke but she's still nasty with IFHE and DE... I suck with her too but she's still fun.

Seems like the situations where a slow ship with low HP and mediocre (being kind) guns would want to fire guns are rare. If you want to get in gun battles or shoot from smoke, or be a fire-starter, there are far better ships out there. The Akatsuki has one more gun, one more torp, is faster and has more HP. If you are going to be spotted anyway, why not drive that ship? The mantra with Shira has always been "Don't get spotted". It makes your torps even less likely to hit and you generally get focus-fired and sunk. There are some situations where guns are the best option available but using 7 skill points on the guns is a HUGE waste. Yes, you can gun down a full health Mutsuki (who can't?) or some other Tier 5s but anything else is going mess you up badly or kill you in the process.

Either the reds all get the memo when you launch torps or you end up in a tail chase of the entire red fleet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
