The Izy isn't that bad at all.

I was having a hard time with the Izy, and I see that others have as well.  

Turns out that the Izy's play style is different than other DD's.  The Japanese Destroyer's have to be played like Ninjas.  The Americans, like Gun Slingers...

The Izy?

You gotta go all ham.  Just berserk mode.   Rush the BB's like they owe you money, get them to swing their turrets one way, then go the other,  and then give them the Torps like a Brazzers Video at close range.

It's all or nothing with Izy.

Izy is a very good boat for the tier. Different than Clemson.

It has excellent guns (and AP!) and better torpedoes, longer ranged, than Derzki. It has an exiting style of play, a little akin Derzki (and maybe Wickes), but a little less than a suicide boat.

 

I kept Izy in port along with Derzki.

Yeah, most low tier RU DDs are like that - all ham. :)

Izyaslav is slightly better/worse than the Clemson and Isokaze.

 

On one hand, Izyaslav has the best range, and with AFT it gets even more ridiculous. It also has decent enough torps for ambushes, a decent rate of fire, and decent turret traverse rate (for a tier 4.)

 

It loses out to the Isokaze in stealth, and torpedo range.

 

It loses out to the Clemson in torpedo alpha, and gun power (Clemson's guns are so ridiculously OP though.)

I love my Izzy. She's one of my two T4 keepers (with Kuma).

The Kuma is a beast.  Wish I didn't sell it.  I'll have to buy it back.

 

 

I had sold it to make room for Soviet cruisers, but had to buy it back. I may end up having to choose between Izy and Kuma again once German BBs come out...have two slots open but I don't know how many keepers I'll want from the German BB line.

I've ended up keeping all my T4's.  I can't help it, I like this tier.  Even just bought the Karl, despite all the anti-hype (Flamu's recent video made me a believer, and turns out he wasn't wrong).  

 

Izzy is my most played, most beloved DD, just above the Seal Clubbing Clemson.  Once I got AFT, it was even better.  Like one of ATSF's videos stated, "why not have both?", I will dump DE on her and be totally overboard in love with her.
