Tragic what they've done with Shira... i hope they will do something with the torp-reload. Look at Akatsuki: 9 torps and 68 secs reload while the shira got 90 on 8.. something is pretty wrong.
Shira has better stealth while Akat has slightly better guns, AA, much better speed, and much better torps. There isn't anything Shira has anymore to compete
I got my Akatsuki a couple of days ago and found it to be a fantastic ship. I know the concealment is pretty meh, but it offers the ability to learn how to set traps and with 10km torps it also gives you the ability to deny access to caps and slow up advancement. I play this pretty much like a disciplined Soviet DD driver. I normally shy away from DD's in general but the Akatsuki really has me hooked. 13 wins and 2 losses today. So fingers crossed for the future lol. Great vids Notser. Take it easy.
I really enjoy having skilled turret traverse for my Japanese DDs. Really makes fighting other destroyers a lot easier and starting fires if you happen to smoke up and shooting at people.
When they split the IJN DD line, I got the Akatsuki, and didn't much care for it. I took a few months off, and now I really like it. I feel it has a lot of flexibility, and will probably keep it.
Thanks - very valuable information. The final point is particularly helpful. Stuff gets better as you go up the tiers, but every other line gets better also, the other players get much better, and there is nothing that will automatically win the high tier knife fight.
Just a note: Hatsuharu max concealment is 5.8km not 6.0. That gives you a very nice buffer. It is also FAR more maneuverable than the Fubuki. IMO the Hatsu is a better choice for ranked.
And by the way! If you want to play Akizuki you will need to train your commander with ''Inertia Fuse for HE Shells'' which increased the penetration of HE shell but minus 3% fire chance. In this case Akizuki will only has 2% chance left but i didn't find it to be a problem because it fire very fast so you will eventually set someone on fire if you hit them enough, sometime i could set a ship on fire for the first salvo, it's RNG all over again. And when i play Harekaze i use the commander of my Akizuki and installed the Harekaze with 100mm guns, it's alot of fun!
if you don't have ifhe you cant use HE against BB or DD over tier 7 you shatter everywhere, making you useless in duel against any half skilled DD player and not very usefull against BB and then cruiser just melt you in 2 salvo (the great health prevent you from getting on shot) in akizuki without ifhe you are really lucky if you start 1 fire so don't count on burning down targets oh i forgot to mention MM i'm about 80 games in my akizuki i think 70 of them are tier 10 and most of the rest is T9, i barely got any where i'm max tier
You don't absolutely need IFHE for the 100mm. People forget you have solid AP rounds with those guns. That's the better ammo choice in DD engagements and harassing larder enemy superstructure and bow
I don't know, mate. I find the Aki to be a very fun ship after i trained my captain with that skill. I found her to do more damage than before when i hit any ship on the superstructure. For cruiser and destroyer if they are not angeled or having bow toward me then i can just shoot at their hull and it will do damage everytime otherwise i just shoot at their bridge like i do for BB, worked everytime. This is my best Akizuki game so far! This is my commander after trained with ''Inertia Fuse for HE Shells''. My average damage with Aki is 80,000 to 90,000 depend on the game espeically my team. i.imgur.com/zZwslkw.jpg?1
well your AP isn't bad against retards DD but otherwise i wouldn't count on it since any DD that understand you dont have ifhe will turn bow in and laugh, for BBs with ap you tend to get a lot of bounces depending on angles even on superstructure but i'm pretty sceptical i base myself on "my team are retards and the enemy team know what they are doing" still get disapointed sometimes to sum up: without IFHE there are situation where you can do nothing (bow in DD deleting you with HE or AP if you are broadside), and it require better placement when firing at BBs. i take it because it's more comfortable and i absolutely hate situation in which i can do nothing but you can do without especially if you play with a division mate
i do not know how you people play with Aki but for me i do not go sailing alone and searchingfor destroyers. I kept myself with the rest of the team and supporting since i have my very long fire range of 15 km with commander skill ofc. This way i can live longer and you won't be the only one that get focused. Akizuki can not be played at a destroyer, she only has one torp, it's a support ship. You can go hunt for DD too if your team is winning the game or you have enough back up behind you.
Funny I see the importance of survivalbilty expert, but I never use it in dd I find there are more important tier 4 skills. Like IFHE on some concealment, and radio location.
The problem with the IJN DDs is that it relies on torps only with the same stealth that other DDs have. If you miss or they turn your useless for 3 mins. A USN or KM DD has comparable stealth and if you blunder into each other, you're dead. My solution? -1 km to IJN DD det range and single fire for torps like the brits.
I love Akizuki. She's a breath of fresh air in the IJN DD line. You'll have to change your playstyle especially if you main IJN DDs. With the stealth fire mechanic gone, I also had to respec her. IFHE is awesome on her. I miss those days when you can comfortably stalk a BB or cruiser and rain fire on them without getting spotted.
i laughed at people saying it was a no skill strategy when they had ship outspeeding mine like every fucking cruiser and tirpitz. she received a speed buff no? i don't remember 33knots at all even with flag
Thel'Vadam are you a no skill, no WSAD BB player that also complain how broken IJN torp are when he is destroyed by a fletcher?because you sound like one meanwhile the kabhab can still make 250K dmg average...but hey russian bias and tell me more about how better the meta got since that nerf
Rémi Marchese Ha i even Fight dds with no issue in even below 5 km im dacing them out ^^ it's all About WASD "Hacks" 😏 ...... But still stealth fire was BULLSHIT because the Same reason i quit WOT because it's sucks when someone can shoot you when ou dont even See them ....and because u have to keep an specific distance. ...your arent a help for your Team with smoke or Close combat torps. ...so. ... Btw here my acc stats eu.warships.today/player/537303922/Paul_of_Force
The Akatsuki is one of my favorite IJN DDs, and i would say if you can work with the for IJN standards bad concealment that it will help you in higher tier games where concealment differences between IJN and other nations gunboat DD is 300m to non-existent. Also i miss the old T8 Fubuki so much, Give her back WG !!!
I can't understand why Kagero is a tier 8 ship instead of make Akatsuki a tier 8 ship instead? I think Akatsuki is a much better ship, she has speed of 38 knots vs 35 knots, she has 1 extra torpedo and 1 extra torp launcher, her torp reload speed with commander skill is just 68 sec compared to Kagero's top torpedo with commander skill, 100 sec. They both also have same amount of guns and noone is better in term of AA defense.
yeah, the Akatsuki is a new ship. When Fubuki was at tier 8 the Akatsuki didn't existed back then. Either way in my opinion Kagero doesn't belong in tier 8. I mean seriously 9 km firing range, at tier 8? that is stupid.
Actually Akatsuki is a sub-class of the Fubuki. I believe the old t8 Fubuki basically had the more modern Akatsuki type hull and historically they all had the same amount of turrets
Funny I just picked up the Kagero, and im deciding between Smoke or TRB. Without smoke Im not able to hide my team BBs, but on the other hand, them extra 8 torps makes a huge difference. Its a good torp boat, just the reload on the torps is just TOOOOOO high.
I'm also at T8 with the kagerl and I played with smoke and with TRB. I can also safely say that TRB is the way to go. With smoke you rely on one of those randoms who knows how to use your smoke and takes full advantage of it. And of course it's way more selfish but I found more often use of that additional surprise torp salvo than of that smoke. Also since they buffed the TRB for the kagero, you can force a unrepairable flooding much easier;)
You forgot that Yugumo can also equip the Torp reload boster consumable instead of smoke turning it into the best IJN Torp DD since shima loses out on stealth (and reload speed) agist it. Also fun part was your fubuki part ......yea a low hp CL i can kill it? Felt that losing 80 % of your HP was worth that? demonstrate DO NOT engage Cruisers if they can shoot back ,-) even if they are low.
Did he failed to get one torpedo hit in his Shimakaze when he was recording? I think Shima should launch all 15 torps at once. You don't get battleships sailing broadside to your torpedoes every game at T10. You will be firing at their bow or stern most of the time and you need that extra density to get hits.
I had it two Times that a DD survived 3 Torphits... The first was a Black who get hit by 3 of my Yugumotorps and he survived. The second a Shimakaze who survived 2 Hits. I know theres this Damage Saturation but 3 Hits and survive as a DD? Thats kinda sucks...
I wonder if you would change your mind about long range torpedos now we have 'Deep Running Torps'? like those on my Asashio Tier 8 Premium IJN Destroyer? Your opinion is valued!
Question to all. How many matches do you think it would take from IJN DD tier 6 to unlock the shimma? An average player with premium and flags here and there. How many matches? Anyone have any idea?
I assume you mean tier 6 right? Well I think that calculating how many matches you'll have to play to get to the x ship is kinda the wrong approach... The most important thing is that you have to enjoy the playstyle of the line because 1. if you enjoy it then the grind isn't bad it is rather fun and exciting to play through the lines and 2. with every ship you'll be a better player if enjoy the playstyle of a line and eventually you'll be for example a better shima player if you can predict and ambush people correctly than someone who just wants to troll enemy BBs because he got 15 torps. Finally I can't give an answer to your question because I haven't got the shima myself yet but I hope you can see my point:)
Fred J - Yes Tier. I corrected that & Thank you!! I know to have fun. Sadly, I am a grown man. I am simply curious from a math point of view. I love statistics.
Omer Bek, Do you average 5,000 xp per battle in Tier 6, Tier 7, Tier 8 and Tier 9 in IJN? If you do, I would like to see your info and learn from you. Because, with premium, 3 kills and 80K worth of damage in Akizuki only gets me about 2600 xp. (which is a good game) So clearly, I am doing something wrong. If you say average 5000. :(
Tier 6 guide: Free exp to the gunboats because those torpedoes are garbage. The 10km ones are too slow and anyone who isn't on life support can easily evade them. The faster ones are better but you'll die before getting to launch them off. So that's my assessment and guide to the tier 6s...actually for most DDs even in games without CV's. I used to always sail in my BB and say "oh look another whining DD because he died". No I realize now, DD players try to help the team and the brainless rest don't take advantage of what the DD's are spotting...etc. Now games with CV's just forget about it because they just spot your DD and render you useless anyways. I just think DDs aren't for me, I mean in practice they are one of the most useful things on the seas but in actual usage not really.
Why can't the gunboat line go to tier ten? Why is it cut off at tier 8? Why? And why the hell do they keep nerfing the ijn dds? Nerf the Russians already please.
Oh man... your pronunciation of the Akatsuki... lol Maybe it's my wife who speaks Japanese makes me picky. But, a general rule is that Japanese stress all their vowels equally. Great content, though. Easily best quality stuff out there. :)
No. There are silent vowels in Japanese (mostly syllables ending in -u). Akatsuki is pronounced A-Kat-Ski, NOT A-Kat-Soo-Kee. Also, Akizuki is pronounced A-Ki-Zki NOT A-Kee-Zoo-Kee.
You're right, some pronounce it like this but some don't... it's been said that it's regional and different parts of Japan pronounce it differently. But like I said before, without going into too much detail, a "general rule". :)
I'm not an expert but I'm pretty sure a "general rule" is to not stress any vowels... maybe a fluent native Japanese might pronounce it Awh-Kaught-Skeeh but technically it should be Awh-kawh-tsooh-keeh. Haha your comment made me verify with my wife so these are her comments... and if you look online it appears it's pronounce both ways. :D
If you ask me, I'd take: prev. maintenance or priority target for the first capt point, then last stand, demo expert, concealement, IFHE. Why? Well if you go the IFHE build aka damage build you have to get demo expert at some point simply because your fire chance is sooo low with IFHE. For the last points it's debatable if you go AFT and an additional one pointer or superindentent and AR. That's up to you. But you should definitely use premium smoke for the additional smoke charge. Hopefully that helped a bit:)
I personally picked Superintendent. That extra smoke, speed boost, and torpedo rearm will ensure your survival. There are a lot of battles in my Duki where 2 smokes isn't near enough.
oh right it's a 14 points captain sorry about that... but on 19 point captain i'd say both super intendent and demolition expert (if you have ifhe) are mandatory
well.. you cant do torpedo reload booster till tir 7, and you cant do smoke + the booster.. In the old days the IJN was good and now they shit.. wargameing! TY for ruining the IJN DD line so many times over and over. And coz of what, BB and cruisers ranting? they have radar, hydro and DD haunters, like all the other nations.. and some use that "radio location" skill so CV planes go to shit your ship first. give you + on that for killing IJN player base WG.
i just started playing, but seems to me like power creep eventually killed them and they were never made relevant again. when you have a class build on torps and you slowly give more and more counters eventually you need to buff the torps (20k needs their detection range reduced, you can just hydro now)
The way to counter smoke isn't nerfing smoke, but buffing torps. However, they think nerfing torps is a good idea. Just look at the belfast counter. Getting nerf in the coming patch. smh
Also, those leaked changes were never supposed to go past the private test, according to the guys that tested it, so everyone was freaking out over nothing.
Japanese DDs: Best line in the game if the enemy team is made up entirely of BB drivers who don't have A or D keys.
Damn, we will all miss the old Shiratsuyu. "The Belfast Slayer" in Rank. :)
Mammoth Mk3 Rip Poi
chng hemeng Indeed my child, indeed. :)
Belfast wasn't OP enough, WG had to fix it.
I can already hear notsers reply.. ohh the smoke meta everyone panic. Hehe
In before premium Yuudachi being sold as a pre-nerf Shiratsuyu.
IJN DD is a high skill line, torpedo is your primary weapon and predition is a hard skill to learn ...
AB Garcia
Predition. ....or just an simple Luck / dumb reds
Tragic what they've done with Shira... i hope they will do something with the torp-reload. Look at Akatsuki: 9 torps and 68 secs reload while the shira got 90 on 8.. something is pretty wrong.
I hope not. why have both tech trees focus on the same thing? Do something different for a change, WG!
Shira has better stealth while Akat has slightly better guns, AA, much better speed, and much better torps. There isn't anything Shira has anymore to compete
Thx Noster, I was waiting for this video to come out, i cant wait til i get out of the Akatsuki
I got my Akatsuki a couple of days ago and found it to be a fantastic ship. I know the concealment is pretty meh, but it offers the ability to learn how to set traps and with 10km torps it also gives you the ability to deny access to caps and slow up advancement.

So fingers crossed for the future lol.
Great vids Notser. Take it easy.
I really enjoy having skilled turret traverse for my Japanese DDs.
Really makes fighting other destroyers a lot easier and starting fires if you happen to smoke up and shooting at people.
RIP Kitakami 40 torps
that not a destroyer
Trần Dụng Phan It's cruiser I know
@@poidachi6003 it's coming back in 0.9.7
Kitakami is the best torp shit is wows
When they split the IJN DD line, I got the Akatsuki, and didn't much care for it. I took a few months off, and now I really like it. I feel it has a lot of flexibility, and will probably keep it.
Brilliant content on your channel, love it! Great work in this video, you have a new subscriber from germany :)
Thanks - very valuable information. The final point is particularly helpful. Stuff gets better as you go up the tiers, but every other line gets better also, the other players get much better, and there is nothing that will automatically win the high tier knife fight.
Just a note: Hatsuharu max concealment is 5.8km not 6.0. That gives you a very nice buffer. It is also FAR more maneuverable than the Fubuki. IMO the Hatsu is a better choice for ranked.
excuse me notser, the akizuki's AA is pretty good. Its insane its the go to AA dd for competative games, its completely decimates T8 planes!
I went full Samurai on my Kagero with Torpedo Acceleration and Torpedo Reload Booster. It took a bit to get used to but now it is pretty fun.
And by the way! If you want to play Akizuki you will need to train your commander with ''Inertia Fuse for HE Shells'' which increased the penetration of HE shell but minus 3% fire chance. In this case Akizuki will only has 2% chance left but i didn't find it to be a problem because it fire very fast so you will eventually set someone on fire if you hit them enough, sometime i could set a ship on fire for the first salvo, it's RNG all over again.
And when i play Harekaze i use the commander of my Akizuki and installed the Harekaze with 100mm guns, it's alot of fun!
if you don't have ifhe you cant use HE against BB or DD over tier 7 you shatter everywhere, making you useless in duel against any half skilled DD player and not very usefull against BB and then cruiser just melt you in 2 salvo (the great health prevent you from getting on shot)
in akizuki without ifhe you are really lucky if you start 1 fire so don't count on burning down targets
oh i forgot to mention MM i'm about 80 games in my akizuki i think 70 of them are tier 10 and most of the rest is T9, i barely got any where i'm max tier
You don't absolutely need IFHE for the 100mm. People forget you have solid AP rounds with those guns. That's the better ammo choice in DD engagements and harassing larder enemy superstructure and bow

For cruiser and destroyer if they are not angeled or having bow toward me then i can just shoot at their hull and it will do damage everytime otherwise i just shoot at their bridge like i do for BB, worked everytime.
This is my best Akizuki game so far! This is my commander after trained with ''Inertia Fuse for HE Shells''.
My average damage with Aki is 80,000 to 90,000 depend on the game espeically my team.
i.imgur.com/zZwslkw.jpg?1
well your AP isn't bad against retards DD but otherwise i wouldn't count on it since any DD that understand you dont have ifhe will turn bow in and laugh, for BBs with ap you tend to get a lot of bounces depending on angles even on superstructure
but i'm pretty sceptical i base myself on "my team are retards and the enemy team know what they are doing" still get disapointed sometimes
to sum up: without IFHE there are situation where you can do nothing (bow in DD deleting you with HE or AP if you are broadside), and it require better placement when firing at BBs.
i take it because it's more comfortable and i absolutely hate situation in which i can do nothing
but you can do without especially if you play with a division mate
i do not know how you people play with Aki but for me i do not go sailing alone and searchingfor destroyers.

Gonna drift around those torps with the Dunkerque
I love Akizuki. She's a breath of fresh air in the IJN DD line. You'll have to change your playstyle especially if you main IJN DDs. With the stealth fire mechanic gone, I also had to respec her. IFHE is awesome on her. I miss those days when you can comfortably stalk a BB or cruiser and rain fire on them without getting spotted.
i laughed at people saying it was a no skill strategy when they had ship outspeeding mine like every fucking cruiser and tirpitz.
she received a speed buff no? i don't remember 33knots at all even with flag
I can't really remember tbh but yeah, even with speed flag, it's hard to outrun most enemies so positioning and range is really important.
Rémi Marchese
But it was lame af and Bad for the meta
Thel'Vadam are you a no skill, no WSAD BB player that also complain how broken IJN torp are when he is destroyed by a fletcher?because you sound like one

Would love to see this updated with the newer DD's added.
Are you doing this for each line? It is helping me a lot with my captain skills! Thanks
11:17 Best part
The Akatsuki is one of my favorite IJN DDs, and i would say if you can work with the for IJN standards bad concealment that it will help you in higher tier games where concealment differences between IJN and other nations gunboat DD is 300m to non-existent.
Also i miss the old T8 Fubuki so much, Give her back WG !!!
Ships in line
Line 1:
Fubuki-Shimakaze
Line 2:
Hashuharu a.k.a Yukikaze-HARUGUMEMES
can you make an updated video for the IJN dd line?
There’s skill but there’s also a lot of luck involved. CVs or no CVs is so important
I can't understand why Kagero is a tier 8 ship instead of make Akatsuki a tier 8 ship instead? I think Akatsuki is a much better ship, she has speed of 38 knots vs 35 knots, she has 1 extra torpedo and 1 extra torp launcher, her torp reload speed with commander skill is just 68 sec compared to Kagero's top torpedo with commander skill, 100 sec.

R1CE W1TH N3K0 I guess cause historical accuracy given that the akatsuki is a subclass of the Fubuki
Actually Akatsuki is a sub-class of the Fubuki. I believe the old t8 Fubuki basically had the more modern Akatsuki type hull and historically they all had the same amount of turrets
Good video. I'm going down the German dd line. What is 5- 10 like?
Notser keep up the great videos!😄👍

Also since they buffed the TRB for the kagero, you can force a unrepairable flooding much easier;)
Fredi J yeah you are right. I just have to deal with the cry babies that ask for smoke. Every game I get people asking smoke smoke smoke.
I really wished WG should've put the TRB in the speed boost slot instead. I can live without SB. Having smoke and TRB would be awesome.
You forgot that Yugumo can also equip the Torp reload boster consumable instead of smoke turning it into the best IJN Torp DD since shima loses out on stealth (and reload speed) agist it. Also fun part was your fubuki part ......yea a low hp CL i can kill it? Felt that losing 80 % of your HP was worth that? demonstrate DO NOT engage Cruisers if they can shoot back ,-) even if they are low.
Agree on this, especially if that cruiser has a lot of guns (like the Cleveland)
Hhmmm "Yugumu" where did i hear that name?(Sarcasm)
Just got ma Kagero!
Captain Griffin nice just got the mutsuki
Ah, the Mutsucky.
Did he failed to get one torpedo hit in his Shimakaze when he was recording? I think Shima should launch all 15 torps at once. You don't get battleships sailing broadside to your torpedoes every game at T10. You will be firing at their bow or stern most of the time and you need that extra density to get hits.
Would you be able to do American destroyers? I'm working my way down the line now, and I would love your opinion on them. Thanks!
Where is the yukikaze destroyer?
I had it two Times that a DD survived 3 Torphits... The first was a Black who get hit by 3 of my Yugumotorps and he survived.
The second a Shimakaze who survived 2 Hits. I know theres this Damage Saturation but 3 Hits and survive as a DD? Thats kinda sucks...
Radar is all IJN bane.
notser pls next line: russian cruisers pls
I laughed at 14:37 in chat "Good luck trying to convince me my CV isn't a useless cunt". lol.
Maybe its better to use 20km with 62kt instead of 12km with 81?!
I wonder if you would change your mind about long range torpedos now we have 'Deep Running Torps'? like those on my Asashio Tier 8 Premium IJN Destroyer? Your opinion is valued!
What about the Asashio ? bb assassin.
i love my akatsuki
Question to all. How many matches do you think it would take from IJN DD tier 6 to unlock the shimma? An average player with premium and flags here and there. How many matches? Anyone have any idea?
I assume you mean tier 6 right? Well I think that calculating how many matches you'll have to play to get to the x ship is kinda the wrong approach... The most important thing is that you have to enjoy the playstyle of the line because 1. if you enjoy it then the grind isn't bad it is rather fun and exciting to play through the lines and 2. with every ship you'll be a better player if enjoy the playstyle of a line and eventually you'll be for example a better shima player if you can predict and ambush people correctly than someone who just wants to troll enemy BBs because he got 15 torps. Finally I can't give an answer to your question because I haven't got the shima myself yet but I hope you can see my point:)

Hatsuharu is 5.8km not 6km.
Rest in Poi
Ak-at-sue-key ;)
Why can't the gunboat line go to tier ten? Why is it cut off at tier 8? Why?
And why the hell do they keep nerfing the ijn dds? Nerf the Russians already please.
Gale Wings Jordan it does now...
Russian bias
Oh man... your pronunciation of the Akatsuki... lol Maybe it's my wife who speaks Japanese makes me picky. But, a general rule is that Japanese stress all their vowels equally. Great content, though. Easily best quality stuff out there. :)
No.
There are silent vowels in Japanese (mostly syllables ending in -u). Akatsuki is pronounced A-Kat-Ski, NOT A-Kat-Soo-Kee. Also, Akizuki is pronounced A-Ki-Zki NOT A-Kee-Zoo-Kee.
You're right, some pronounce it like this but some don't... it's been said that it's regional and different parts of Japan pronounce it differently. But like I said before, without going into too much detail, a "general rule". :)
I'm not an expert but I'm pretty sure a "general rule" is to not stress any vowels... maybe a fluent native Japanese might pronounce it Awh-Kaught-Skeeh but technically it should be Awh-kawh-tsooh-keeh. Haha your comment made me verify with my wife so these are her comments... and if you look online it appears it's pronounce both ways. :D
No Haragumo?
What, they nerfed Shiratsuyu ? I'm grinding Hatsuharu and what is this !?
Yeah, they took away the ability to use both smoke and reload on it. You have to decide which one now
Imagine 3 man platoon with Shimas if they had torp reload boosters.
blaster1 112 yuro's funtej 6 anyone?
That's precisely why Shimakaze doesn't get the TRB.
blaster1 112 pah, ever seen a 3 Division Kitakami? 120 longlances in 2 waves WITHOUT the booster 😉
kitakami was removed doe...
but yea, 3 kitakamis in a div will be hilarious, and laggy
cjmpaja Still a few out there, I think wg gave 5 to some special players
hi I so like your video
akizuki best dd for ranked in t8
AkiDucky
A cat ski?
My akatsuki is a gunboat..
Superintendent or demo expert for Akizuki?
Got 14 points commander with no skill.
If you ask me, I'd take: prev. maintenance or priority target for the first capt point, then last stand, demo expert, concealement, IFHE. Why? Well if you go the IFHE build aka damage build you have to get demo expert at some point simply because your fire chance is sooo low with IFHE. For the last points it's debatable if you go AFT and an additional one pointer or superindentent and AR. That's up to you. But you should definitely use premium smoke for the additional smoke charge. Hopefully that helped a bit:)
I personally picked Superintendent. That extra smoke, speed boost, and torpedo rearm will ensure your survival. There are a lot of battles in my Duki where 2 smokes isn't near enough.
why not both ?
Preventative Maintenance
Last Stand
Demolition Expert
Concealment Expert
IFHE
Equip the two fire flags and rekt DDs and burn BBs at the same time
oh right it's a 14 points captain sorry about that...
but on 19 point captain i'd say both super intendent and demolition expert (if you have ifhe) are mandatory
ha... The ShemaleKaze.. still best torper!

HATSUHARU CONCEALMENT ; 5.8 KM
that dislike is not mine,....
More American lines please
"Akatski" is that russian?
0:20 it says 59 you said 35 and all the ships say 1.6 detect.
well.. you cant do torpedo reload booster till tir 7, and you cant do smoke + the booster..
In the old days the IJN was good and now they shit.. wargameing! TY for ruining the IJN DD line so many times over and over. And coz of what, BB and cruisers ranting?
they have radar, hydro and DD haunters, like all the other nations..
and some use that "radio location" skill so CV planes go to shit your ship first.
give you + on that for killing IJN player base WG.
i just started playing, but seems to me like power creep eventually killed them and they were never made relevant again.
when you have a class build on torps and you slowly give more and more counters eventually you need to buff the torps (20k needs their detection range reduced, you can just hydro now)
why is war gaming considering changing smoke are they trying to ruin the game play even more ahhh....
They're trying to get people to stop smoke-camping, though I have to wonder how much of a problem that really is.
I get that but most of us that have been playing for a long time know how to handle and counter smoke meta. We will see what happens..
The way to counter smoke isn't nerfing smoke, but buffing torps.
However, they think nerfing torps is a good idea. Just look at the belfast counter. Getting nerf in the coming patch. smh
It's because WG sees torpedoes are salt factories, and no amount of QQing will change their minds.
Also, those leaked changes were never supposed to go past the private test, according to the guys that tested it, so everyone was freaking out over nothing.
Ah-kaht-soo-key=akatsuki
Not, A-Cat-Ski
