125 Mexicanarmada15 Members 712 posts 5,239 battles Report post #2 Posted January 1, 2016 Pretty much, it will be interesting since there will be many gunboat dds to go after dds kills and many bbs to go after cruisers. Maybe this will make less cruisers and torp boats so more cvs by default? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

176 [COOP] UnseenSpectacle Members 812 posts 5,604 battles Report post #4 Posted January 1, 2016 You mean people are going to actually try and do what they should be doing all along? Shock. Horror. I'm looking forward to it because all it means is you'll get more try-hards overextending and getting picked off. The challenge will be reigning them in on my team.

81 BubbleRapper Members 645 posts 2,685 battles Report post #9 Posted January 1, 2016 I don't think this will change too much. DDs aren't super easy to kill unless the dd player is making dumb choices, and cruisers are the easiest class to play. DDs and cruisers are my favorite classes of ships, and I don't see how games will be much more difficult now. It's not like prior to these missions people weren't trying to kill me anyway.

12,675 [SALVO] Crucis Members 28,249 posts 43,839 battles Report post #10 Posted January 1, 2016 I forsee more BB in matches now. Maybe for killing the cruisers, but not the DD's. And it depends on whether you're trying to do the missions. If you're not, then perhaps there's something to what you say. But if one is trying to do them, BB's are hardly good for killing DD's. Cruisers, yes. DD's, not really. It might be a rough time for IJN DD's, since they're not all that great at killing enemy DD's and cruisers aren't the easiest of torpedo targets. T5 is going to be interesting for a bit... Be aware that the Myoko "kill 30 DD's" mission is for tier SIX and above, not tier 5 and above. I misread it as tier 4. Roman numerals are tricky that way if you don't look carefully.. 4 (IV) and 6 (VI) are easy to confuse when you only take a quick glance at them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

1,815 [-KIA-] ValkyrWarframe Members 5,245 posts 16,911 battles Report post #13 Posted January 1, 2016 DD is fun. I love firing at people in Farragut from 14 km since I have Advanced Fire Training and they can't seem me until 11 km. Cruiser is just worrying that you don't get citadeled. And the appropriate abbreviation of cruiser is CA, not CL. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I love firing at people in Farragut from 14 km since I have Advanced Fire Training and they can't seem me until 11 km. Cruiser is just worrying that you don't get citadeled. And the appropriate abbreviation of cruiser is CA, not CL. Starting at T5 and above, you will run into both CA (Cruiser Armored aka Heavy Cruisers) and CL (Cruiser Light) in the cruiser line. Everything below T5 is a CL. In game, the easiest way to tell is the gun diameter. CLs will have a gun diameter of 155mm or less while CAs are sporting 203mm guns.

444 OgreMkV Members 1,348 posts 14,244 battles Report post #17 Posted January 1, 2016 Funny, I've gotten a lot of DD kills in a BB when they close to point blank for their torps. Then they get 8 or 10 16-inch shells in their broadside and "poof". I've certainly gotten more DD kills than BB kills. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Example: there should be a reward for killing 50 CL/CA in a DD TV or higher WHY, that's the stupidest idea I have ever seen. if anything to 'balance' it the DDs should get a sink BBs mission BECAUSE THAT'S THEIR JOB but sure, make a ship hunt it's counter, real smart.

Good missions for VMF DDs which are pretty good for killing both cruisers and destroyers. Using a Kiev to pick apart Clevelands and Atlantas is like taking candy from a baby, as long as you don't let them stray too close (under 9 km) and you position yourself correctly they'll never hit you.

Yes but that only applys to the high tier VMF DDs, if wargaming makes missions, it's either for one ship or an entire class really. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
