I've heard people gush about the Fletcher, and now I see why. Didn't think the USN line couldn't get any better, but it just did. 3rd game in and this little beauty has its first Kraken. It's like a stealth firing Benson with AA and insane torpedoes. I really hope WG doesn't change this ship, but with the recent nerfs to IJN DDs, I'm not holding my breath. http://wowreplays.com/Replay/8366 Edited June 3, 2016 by Kombat_W0MBAT Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

1 Admiral_Cat Members 33 posts 819 battles Report post #4 Posted June 3, 2016 (edited) Really tempted to start US DD line just for the Fletcher. US DD playstyle looks really fun in general. Where's some extra port slots when you need them =P? Edited June 3, 2016 by Admiral_Cat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

19 [BITA-] Mopic312 Members 85 posts 11,325 battles Report post #9 Posted June 9, 2016 I'm with you i am so upset with the USN DD's freaking guns, I'm about to just phone in this game.. An Example to today about 1 hours ago, engage with a IX Taho ... Get into firing range with my Fletcher.. Started unloading on him... I actually watched my shell hit the deck about 100 times, and looking at the score, 0 damage from 108 shells bt 8k damage with fires.. *(what the F is that crap).. I started out then by trying to get into torp range, welp even with turbo on, I can't catch up to it to over take it, why because a 100 ton carrier can out run a 10 ton destroyer.. good lord., Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
258 sushimaster Members 1,383 posts 2,282 battles Report post #10 Posted June 9, 2016 I don't know if it's a glitch but sometime i will be able to do dmg to a tier 9-10 CVs and sometime the guns hit but will do 0 dmg. It doesn't happen alot in some older patch but happen alot lately. Alot of players have experienced this as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
