Don't tell me you tried to CQB with a DD after your torps were gone. 21 minutes ago, AkiyamaSaneyuki_2017 said: Also what kind of DD has a range of 13 km? French and Russian, for starters.

I thought tier X is going to be fun, not crazy. Also what kind of DD has a range of 13 km? I have questions..... If you were being spammed from cover, why didn't you move out of range? As a cruiser, why did you try torping a DD instead of using those things strapped to the deck called guns to shoot it? When he started to charge you, why did you carry on sailing towards him rather than try to make evasive manoeuvres? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

T8-10 DDs that can hit 13km without AFT or range mod (12.7 is close enough): Kleber (13.6), Mogador (12.8), Tashkent (12.7), Daring (12.8), upcoming R-10 (12.7)and Vampire II (13.5) T8-10 DDs that hit 13km with AFT or range mod: Khaba, Marceau, Grozovoi, Friesland, Smaland, Kitakaze, Haragumo, Aki, Z-52, Le Terrible, Le Fantasque, Fletcher, Gearing, Shima, Somers, upcoming Fen Yang. Granted you'd almost never build guns on Shima or Somers, while Fletcher, Gearing, and Daring shouldn't use AFT because their shells become useless to hit anything but a BB past 9km, similar story with Friesland and Smaland, while AFT is also mandatory on Khaba due to her not having range mod and 11.6km range, and Marceau due to again limited 11.6km range, and Z-52, Aki and Kitakaze might be too hungry on captain skills to take AFT, as they actually have some stealth and agility, unlike Haragumo which doesn't have much of either, so Haragumo could forgo CE Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
311 [TRU] mpwardawg Members 695 posts 20,122 battles Report post #15 Posted October 31, 2020 Sorry OP, you just got outplayed. Focus on DDs with guns and save your torps in case you have a close encounter. The Zao can crush DDs in a couple salvos. I've learned in any high tier game to respect islands that could be humped. Unless you like a BBQ. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought tier X is going to be fun, not crazy. Also what kind of DD has a range of 13 km? First thing, Harugumo is more a mini-Smolensk then a DD, second Zao shouldn't try and hunt down it .... ever!! T10 is crazy A-F but Haru has very little to do with it, its the least of most players problem. Things like OP broken Russian cruises/BBs, ALL CVs, British BBs HE, Smolensks, etc etc is far bigger issues at T10. And range build Haru has 15+ km range, if you were talking gunrange.
