These same full health battleships 10 minutes into the match will then inevitably claim “our DDs sucked!” because there’s no one around to spot for them now they are finally ready to start playing. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One thing I was a bit unsure of though, when he talks about rotating the tanking role is referring only to Battleships or is that a blanket suggestion for Cruisers and DD's as well ?

I would add to his defensive POV, If the fatsos dont sink all the cruisers in a match by the 10 min mark... The fleets chances of winning, will be very limited. I totally agree on his views on the failures of the developers on the available play styles. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Especially kiting cruisers and open water DDs can tank a lot of incoming damage. Of course you need to make sure you don’t die either. I often expose myself in my gunboat DDs to draw fire away for BBs and cruisers that are in trouble. Edited November 4, 2020 by eviltane 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would assume that specific example is about BBs, but in general this applies to all classes. In cruisers this would apply too, when you see a friendly under fire and you have all your HP, it would be wise to take some heat away from the low HP friendly. Similar, with a DD opening fire briefly to take attention away from your team could help them get into cover or pop another heal. Things like this. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
