12 [OO7] GeoBrigade Members 57 posts 9,198 battles Report post #1 Posted January 17 Hi all, With the announcement of the radar change I’d have to say this is a great start to making the DD class playable again. But let’s not end there! BBs are still a huge problem and stealth radar cruiser Minotaur is a big game breaking thing for DDs still. In all honesty why is that a BB from 15+ km away still able to smack a DD around. In true reality DDs shouldn’t be able to get hit accurately by a BB until at least sub 6.5km. Like come on just think about it a little bit, your telling me that a 35+knot DD that can move on a dime can actually be hit by a slow maneuverability, horrible accuracy, and with very slow turret traverse can hit a DD from 15+km, I doubt it. Also, why hasn’t Minotaurs radar been nerfed like the Woosters has yet, hello… Did you think that Wooster radar was broken but have you even ran into a mino with radar? Talk about needing to be fixed… Anyways, I’d like to see your comments below. Tell me do you think that the radar change was good or bad? Do you think that there is more needed into making the DD an actual playable class in the game again? 1 2 3 16 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do you think that there is more needed into making the DD an actual playable class in the game again? Yes. And I have full respect to those players who go out in their floating citadels in the hopes that they manage to jump a DD before they inevitably get deleted by large caliber AP. Bad, it doesn’t stop radar from being a zoning tool while also making it less rewarding for cruisers. I rarely put myself into position to die by a radar. If you do that, you’re misplaying. However, I do that by not being as aggressive as I like. Now, I still can’t play as aggressive as Id like while also I now have trouble countering people who misplay. DDs are mega fun. My second favorite class in the game after cruisers. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

2,601 [KSE] Th3KrimzonD3mon Members 7,729 posts 8,067 battles Report post #8 Posted January 17 I play DDs all the time, at all tiers, so I'd have to say you're flat out wrong. DDs haven't been unplayable. Perhaps you just haven't been able to adjust to the game as it's changed. "In true reality", my dude, this is a game, an arcade game, not a simulation. The only reality here is the reality WG chooses to make. Also, you haven't got nearly as many rounds in DDs as you do in either BBs or cruisers, BBs having almost 3 times as many rounds as DDs. I suggest you spend more time playing your DDs, so that you can learn and adjust with the changes. More, with almost 3k rounds in BBs, you should already know the whys and why nots of how BBs hit DDs at range. Playing DDs more will show you why your turning and burning, even at range, isn't going to save you from someone who plays DDs and can predict your movements, and can, well, aim. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The desperate cries for attention make me feel sad. Do some good. Make this last for 6+ pages. Here, I'll help. RADAR SHOULD BE REMOVED, THE GAME ORIGINALLY HAD NO RADAR AND DD WERE STILL THE WORST CLASS IN DAMAGE & SURVIVAL. *tosses away fuel can, walks off without looking back* Quote HAHAHAHA.

I agree. Dds are really challenging to play. I don't think it's fair that they have the lowest hp pools as they have to do the most difficult jobs in the game. We need to buff all dd hp unilaterally. I would say doubling up all dd health pools would be a good start. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

20 kuro466 Members 42 posts 1,383 battles Report post #22 Posted January 17 DDs are fun... Through island radar is the dumbest thing in the game. There is no counterplay. You can't even see the spotter, and the long range BBs are hitting you over the low islands. It's just busted. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well there's the issue right there. Get all the mental midgets to stop playing DDs, and maybe more people will come around to your way of thinking. I am curious though, why should BBs dominate? No historical/realistic mumbo jumbo please, that ship got left at the bottom of the harbour several years ago..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
