53 stockmankrause Members 779 posts 8,228 battles Report post #1 Posted September 1, 2017 Ive noticed the gameplay style for dds has utterly changed for the worst. My anshan no longer rules the sea and my kamikaze seems nerf batted to death right now.Sims seems ok but doesnt rudder shift quite like before its sluggish. Leningrad is ok. okhotnik is also ok. gaede seems ok. cambletown is fine and smith and tachibana also. Trashkent is overwhelmed in its tier now. Podvoisky is ok. My point is ships suddenly appear close for no reason,you get spotted and focus fired on so much faster now and smoke seems to be a fail right now in game. It feels like the dds recently are zero fun to play. Maybe me or maybe the game is broken with the stupid visibility nerfs etc and huge he power? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It amuses me that all the ships you say are doing "ok" are either Russian or gunboats. DD's by themselves haven't changed; the meta they play in has. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh, don't worry about that. WG thinks it's "Working As Designed", and has steadfastly refused to fix ANY of the problems (of which there are at least 3 game-breaking ones that have been known for at least 2 years) with detection and vision, since Beta. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is the biggest reasons DDs have a hard time in this game. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

208 [ECOM] Diddy_Kongs_Quest Members 288 posts 15,382 battles Report post #17 Posted September 3, 2017 (edited) I mean, with indirect nerfs to dds in previous patches. I doubt that dds are unplayable. It is really tough to dd play. DDs are considered strategic. The only line I would say needs help is the Jap DD line. Right now as it stands, every other torp boat does the jap boats job much better. Their not unplayable yet, they are getting more difficult to play OP. Maybe, try reconstructing your post so that people can understand your point and understand it clearly. That would help. Constructive ideas are more effective than a bramble mess of thorns to sift through. Your post is difficult to read without asking the simple question (WHY?) and not get an answer. Please try another way of constructing your ideas so that others can understand them clearly. It would be appreciated and I would like to understand your opinion, but clearly.

89 WidochMeirker Members 185 posts 3,359 battles Report post #18 Posted September 3, 2017 I haven't really noticed it being much worse recently. I mean, yeah, DD play has been going downhill for a while now but nothing noticeable with the recent patch. The magic appearing ship well within it's detection range bug has been in the game as long as I've played it. I just assume it's going to happen now and try and deal with it.

59 [POI--] WeissRaben_2 Members 190 posts 2,201 battles Report post #20 Posted September 3, 2017 What has been changing for a while is everyone's meta about how to react to DDs. When I started playing, battleships usually couldn't be arsed to shoot at the DD (and tons of threads were opened about how cruiser players were stupid for not killing DDs). They have since found out that surprise! Their guns can, in fact, affect destroyers. DD captains aren't fan, even though little actually changed except for select open-water stealth fire ships.

This was actually a patch i think. BB overpen dmg got buffed. DD detection via gun firing got nerfed (increased). Rewards for capping were diminished in new econ. Torpedoes are massively nerfed in detection and speed. Yes, the game changed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
