Japanese dd's are some of the most over powered ships in the game 2-3 toprs can take a t8 bb down to half health and you have no time to dodge them without ships ahead of you to warn you about the torps

1) No

2) they have been nerfed to death

3) more nerfs are coming soon

4) Racial slurs are not welcome. You should be ashamed. We call them IJN.

5) No nerfs. They are already pitiful. Try a Shima, a Hatsu or a Kagero and see.

 

PS: Have you heard about this hack? It is called WASD. I hear it works.

With respect, your own comment may have part of the answer. When you are aware that "ships ahead of you to warn you about the torps" makes a difference, (though the same can be said for planes) you are then looking for that sort of teamwork. You will not always have it, but that is going to be the case in any game.

 

Also, the IJN DDs have been beaten half to death with the nerf bat since the game began. There are ways other than nerfs to counter the issue you mention.

Ever heard of WASD? Also, please try to use some form of punctuation.

1) WASD hacks

2) Get better situational awareness

3) Torps are the slowest projectiles in-game. Complaining that you have no time to dodge them is PEBCAK, not because they're OP. Correct yourself.

4) Do not use old WWII slang when referring to the IJN - it is considered offensive.

All DDs have the potential to nuke BBs with torps, whether it is from ambush or long range.  There are ways to avoid this, as you noted, don't be the first in - let someone screen for you, also get vigilance as a captain skill if you need more time to turn, there are rudder shift modules, and if you know which DDs do what - then you can adjust your strategy. Just like us DD players adjust their game when we see certain ship (e.g. Atlantas Bismarks, etc.). Or CV players when they see AA heavy ships. If you look at the player list at the start of the match and see Fabukis - they you can guess there will be long range torps. Adapt and over come.


 

Point is - ALL ships should be vulnerable and have strengths. It makes it fun to figure out how to cope with these differences.


 

Side note, personally I would like to see WG do less nerfing and provide more in game tools for player to use to adapt their play style to the game.


 

Just my two cent on the topic.

Completely a racial slur. It will earn an immediate involuntary sick day from work if not outright dismissal from any reputable company not run by a bigot friendly [edited].

Hello and welcome to the World of Warships forums. There is a lot of helpful community-made content on these forums so it's definitely worth taking a look around if you haven't done so already. I'm sure you'll be able to find something of interest.

 

In regards to Japanese destroyers, the thing is, torpedoes are all they've got. IJN DD's are torpedo-boats. Torpedoes are meant to be able to deal massive amounts of damage, just like how a battleship's AP can do massive amounts of damage to cruisers. Rather than calling for even more nerfs, I'd recommend watching some guides on how to predict and dodge torpedoes, or at least minimise the amount of damage taken from torpedoes.

1. Learn to use situation awareness as it only gets worse at tier 9 an heaven forbid, the tier 10 Shimakaze,

2. IJN DD's have been nerfed into the ground already.

3. Use captain skills that help you acquire visual information of torpedoes earlier.

4. Don't sail in a straight line and adjust your speed settings every half minute.

5. If you do end up taking a torpedo; try to get it to hit on an angled TDS as it will help prevent a penetration as well as reduced damage. IIRC, I took a direct torpedo hit from an enemy DD that does around 20-30k torp damage and only took 5k because of my angle.  

6. After every salvo, zoom out and keep an eye on your surroundings until you are loaded; rinse and repeat.

A full spread of torps from a DD  (that you sailed in a nice straight line into) takes out HALF the health of a BB, yet a SINGLE SHELL from a BB out of the 10 or 12 in a volley hits a DD and takes out 2/3 to 3/4 of the DD's health.  I think the OP has the wrong idea of which ship is currently overpowered in that respective engagement.

Once you have some playing time and some experience, you will learn how to effectively counter destroyers most of the time.  (sees BETA tag under OP's name)  :facepalm:

Isn't it funny how that works?  "A destroyer touched me and there was nothing I could do!  Boohoo!  Much nerfs, plz!"  Fires a single battleship salvo, scores three citadels, completely WRECKS a cruiser...NO PROBLEM.

Crucis,

 

  Breaking news...it's a racial slur.   Please don't try to comfort yourself with false ideas that it is a term Japanese look to with affection.  I grew up with folks using that name toward me...got into a lot of fights to prove my point when I was a kid.

  Not that it probably matters to you, but please understand that it is not a "PC run wild" idea.  You have several other terms to use...Nippon, Japanese, Japan.  Try them.

 

 

With respect.
