Hier tier US dd Trade

[GreenIronKnight]

       Now before I start, I'm no expert in ships, or naval guns, and whatever, this is all my opinion, and I'm looking at this game as a game, I'm going to have no facts just my experiences. This post is not about the nerf of any class or buffs of any class,, because besides dds I have no games played in other classes so I can't say whats op and up (Marblehead and the low tier ships I played doesn't count because I'm talking about tier 9 and 10).

 

     Now that's done with, here's what I got. It might be a dumb idea, but on the Gearing, I don't have that ship unlocked but if the guns are like the others  and I did  gameplay research and videos so I doesn't seem like I'm talking out my A, have like a choice hull. Now the stats would all be the same (But two Ill get to that in a sec) and the ship would look exactly the same. The difference is the stats of the torps and the guns. I know, I'm going to get flak for this.

 

       For the Gun hull, the guns shoot the same speed and such like damage but what I would change is two things but not both. A. shell arc, its pretty and all to watch ur shells land on target but it take just to long, not asking for a buff to Japanese dd standards, but just a little better then it is now (rather this then the other option) and yes I understand all ships with that 5 inch pecker have that problem, but it is higher tier, and since this is a game maybe the devs can throw a bone (not to big of a bone, I understand this is a company) to hard working players . B. fire chance, I would say an even 8%, it will still be lower then its nation counter parts, and the new Russian dd almost has that great rate of fire due to its extra turret, so I don't have much to say for this. IN RETURN TORPS WOULD BE LOWERED, and I mean is by range, 10 k like the fletcher and a little less damage. So the Japanese can still be torp supreme, Russian torps wont look to bad, and Russian guns wont pummel us dd, the old "gunboats"

 

      Now the torp hull, First the guns would be slower in firing (go as far as you like, could be as long as the fletcher reload or just a bit longer) , to keep balance with the increased torp stats, as well (since main guns count as aa) as aa rating going down. Torps, not big fan so its hard to say what would make them replace the lowered rate of fire and aa (you caught me I'm a Gun man), but I think a increase in damage would be nice, not Japanese level but close, and a 5 sec reload reduction. so the Japanese wont pummel the us dds torps, and the Russians can be gun supreme.

 

      I know the us dds are a Jack of trades, master of none, but after these choices, they still wouldn't be a master of any. And the enemy would have to guess which hull the have, a little fear factor maybe, and truly gives the us dd some more options without bullying into the space of the best for this category.

Take this as it is, just an opinion of what I think would be cool.

correction, cruisers are the jack of all trades for this game. DDs are for scouting and raiding!

also OP its call a paragraph, please use more spacing next time so people aren't assaulted by a huge wall of text!

 

[GreenIronKnight]

well I fixed the paragraph problem, Hope that is easier to read. And okay fine they aren't jack of all trades, but that was not the point of this post.

Thanks, much easier on the  eyes! Also for future reference don't use the word "Jap" use either IJN or Japanese, WG and other players don't like that term being used!

I dont know that you'll get any increased fire from HE chances. I just dont see the community supporting that. However lowering the shell arc (increasing shell speed) on USN DD's is something a lot of players are asking for so they dont need two computer monitors to lead targets whe shooting their 5" guns. But the Devs seem deadset against the idea. 

 

As for the torps, you literally need all the range you can get at Tiers IX and X for any DD to have any hope of using torps at those tiers.
