im sure im not the only one that agrees with this

[jinx1586]

ok lets be serious at this point u either go into a game and get torped from a plan or a boat litereally  around every island  its  getting  stupid.

 

they shoot at much as fast if not faster then some [edited]'s and they cant "GRAZE" as normal shots seem to do you know  HE's and AP's rated for 3000-8000 damg  on average do like 300-1600 inless u hit the cita pretty much  where even the lowest torps hit for like 5-6k without fail+ idk if its a bug or somthing but just my last game i was  fighting a DES from 9kms away and boom i get hit with his torps  hmmm how is that possiable when there range tops at like 7.... or how about the times the  DES doesnt even show up on the screen intill hes 5km's from you and already shot his torps..... the plane torps are almost  unavoidable like seriously the game is ezaly ruled by them and totally  takes the fun outa  a warship shooter in my eyes i had 87 hits today against a battle ship in my  St Louise 87!!!! and i still didnt kill it he got me with just under 1/4 life left  thats no fun either

 

this is just my points of intrest but honestly  i have more fun at this point makeing a new account and playing just the Erie but then again when i join games as a  erie  your matching system adds tier 2 ppl anyways so that aint very balanced either just saying i belive you got some work ahead of your guys

[IKU19]

Please don't be serious.

[jrs5121]

you got to watch out for them torps dude I dodge a lot of them and sometimes they get me I don't think they are op but the high tier ships have some long range torps  that will mess you up fast lol if you see tb flying turn to them don't leave your side open

[ClockworkSpectre]

Lol seriously...?

 

This is just a lack of experience.  Destroyers are not nearly as strong as you make them out to be, if you know how to deal with them.  Admittedly, torp reload speeds are probably to fast on low tier destroyers but that's all.  I know personally, if I get hit by destroyer torpedoes its because I made a mistake or did something stupid.  You have to keep your eyes on your minimap as much as possible in this game, knowing where allies and enemies are and planning ahead is as important, if not more so, as being able to aim. 

[DreamKrushers]

Lack of experience for sure, its luck hitting any ship with torps from a did. Also looking up the damage compared to other types of ships would show you that they do the least amount of damage of any type of ship. Also this kind of post has been drug through the Mudd more then once, and WG already gave some half decent dds the Nerf hammer.

this is another troll reminds me http://forum.worldofwarships.com/index.php?/topic/52011-destroyers-w-unlimited-supply-of-torpedoes-is-ruining-this-game/page__st__60__p__1300281#entry1300281

 

Aircraft carriers (0)

Destroyers (1)  1 game

[4wilds]

You're a new player so let's chalk this up to you're still learning.

 

If you honestly think Destroyers are OP, then trying playing them more than the 1 battle you currently have in the Sampson. Really play them, like 50 battles and I promise you will change your mind.

Everything that needs to be said, has lads. Lets be merciful and let this thread die instead of dragging it a long.

[Mizzerys_Fate]

I do not know where to start....

I have ~950 CBT battles and over 1900 since open beta....so here goes...

 

Umikazi torp range 8 km. Detection range around 6.7. I'm pretty sure the "DES" stealth launched then was spotted.

 

St. Louis,  stop firing AP at battleships.

Angle your armour, you are a protected cruiser and can bounce South Carolina AP shells.

 

Destroyers with 4 skill comanders & camouflage paint can decrease detection range by ~10% so it's possible with smoke to get within 4 km w/o being spotted. Yes I've kept my Umikazi for stress relief from grind ships.....

 

A good carrier driver can do a manual torp drop over an island and kill you within 1 second of torpedo warning bells.....sigh my poor Arkansas Beta....

The only way to TRY to ovoid a manual drop is to be AWARE of torpedo planes and start turning/slowing BEFORE they drop.

 

All the frustration you mention is just the learning curve you are experiencing.  With more battles under your belt you will learn to handle these frustions a lot easier...

Make sure you are playing random battles as soon as possible and not (default) co-op, as bots are unforgiving when you make a mistake.

 

Good luck and fair seas.

You left out the option to let us play 1-5 tier IJN dd's with only guns. They would be great fun.

You get three warnings about where torpedoes are.

Warning 1: A crewman shouts "Torpedoes (insert direction here)!".

Warning 2: A yellow torpedo icon shows up in the direction that the torpedo is coming from. If/when the torpedo gets close, the icon turns red.

Warning 3: A loud alarm "Ping" goes off whenever torpedoes are heading your way. This "Ping" gets louder the closer torpedoes get to you.

 

It is like this for both enemy and friendly torpedoes. However, these are not actually your only warnings. If you see a destroyer getting in close, a squadron of TBs nearing you, or a Japanese cruiser turning to show its rear to you, you can expect torpedoes to be headed your way. If you choose to ignore these signs and/or the warnings that the game gives you, you deserve to be hit and sunk by torpedoes.

 

P.S. Biased poll is biased.

Did you ...just suggest COMPLETE removal of torpedoes? ...what are destroyers without ....torpedoes...especially Japanese ones.

 

Space battles!

Space battle indeed

Wish neg rep was still a thing .

 

Torpedos need massive buff, they should kill cruisers and DDs in a single hit no matter where that hit is.

I'm guessing you and I have something else in common, I enjoy a good dose of versus threads, quite nice.

I actually went through the torture of trying to read this.

 

So you want torpedoes removed because you find them OP? Please stahp.

Perhaps I do enjoy Versus or maybe I enjoy trolling or MAYBE I feed off the rage of others. Most likely though I may enjoy all three
