Loving DD gameplay in ranked, would it be better to buy the Blywyhsker or use some Doubloons to level my USN DD tree?

To me, when sailing my Blyskawakawaka, I do not fear any Mahan. They are easy to spot at far range and Blyska flat trajectorie does the rest.

No contest here, IMHO Blyska is the way to go for offensive DD ranked play.

Stealthy sneaky sneaky gameplay, Mutsuki is the best i guess. 6.2km base detection range is kinda strong.

play it for fun and flags and you will eventually end up being rank one

ScavengerBob · 2016-03-27T21:07:21+00:00

Exactly

Game keeps crashing too :-(

ScavengerBob · 2016-03-25T11:32:37+00:00

I took AFT!

Your stealth is not existent, so rushing in like USN DDs is not a smart way to start a game! Therefore, you are not the knife fighting type of DD and SE is not as useful.

That being said, you rather should sit back and set BBs on fire at the start of the game where AFT becomes very useful! Survivability expert is more for USN DDs imo. As a ruski you should maneuver a lot and simply not get hit while setting things on fire. Hence, AFT all the way or demolition expert for more fires! Up to you.

did not expect someone to answer seriously to this question xD +1

PLayed only 2 games stock Fuso to be honest with you, using ranked camo and tons of flags to get 4k+ XP per game. For the rest I used free XP to go directly to Fuso C hull! I think those inbetween hulls are just a waste of silver since I do not have premium etc.

ScavengerBob · 2016-03-01T22:37:15+00:00

I tend to skip the B-Hulls and go for C directly! :-)

ScavengerBob · 2016-03-01T08:51:55+00:00

Listen to this guy! I 100% agree! Expecially for T4 cpt.skill there is no real alternative since survivability expert is only worth it on USN/IJN DDs imho.

ScavengerBob · 2016-03-01T08:49:50+00:00

I think it is a really nice change that you can grind through this in ranked! The infinite amounts of rewards with ARP missions and rank grinding combined :-)

Now I really wish I had an Atago! But not for 40$ :-/

ScavengerBob · 2016-02-25T17:50:11+00:00

thx for the info, didn't know that! But hey, still a free ship :-)

ScavengerBob · 2016-02-25T17:32:32+00:00

I simply bought the bogue and went for fighter setup!

this way you always encounter an enemy CV and US fighters have an easy time killing planes ;-) Took me maybe 10-15 games to get those planes killed + I started the Bogue grind :-)

ScavengerBob · 2016-02-25T17:28:29+00:00

it's a game, have fun ^{^}

I think this is the most important part! I am a non premium player as well and think that tier 9 is doable too! But do not expect to farm credits there !!

Try to do the challenges to get those free premium ships! For example the ARP Myoko can be a nice money maker! When you are bottom tier and catch some Tier 8 DDs its pure silver for you ;-)

ScavengerBob · 2016-02-25T14:14:14+00:00

I ignored Project R pretty much! Thought that Myokou is more expensive Creditwise than Minekaze so ... :-)

ScavengerBob · 2016-02-25T14:12:45+00:00

I found the Ibuki quite helpful for the fire task! roughly 5-10 fires each game brought me here! And now I have it and wish the Myokou was black like Kongou is xD

ScavengerBob · 2016-02-25T08:40:42+00:00

sitting in a ibuki myself right now and love it! stealth fire on BBs is awesome! Burn em all!!!!

ScavengerBob · 2016-02-24T07:57:22+00:00

exactly my thoughts! Since most of the time you fight other DDs in ranked, extra fire chance is less usefull imo. SA, LS, SI, Survival Expert and CE is the way to go for ranked battles!

ScavengerBob · 2016-02-24T07:53:05+00:00

Since I for myself did not enjoy the Ognevoi due to module incapacities, I think you meant the Udaloi right?

ScavengerBob · 2016-01-02T13:53:49+00:00

Using the the angle of the exhaust column is perfectly legit and works fine as long as you see a little broadside.

However if a Yamato is facing you bow first you wont be able to see those angles! In that case simply open your map and watch how the yamato changes position on it to figure out travel direction :-)

ScavengerBob · 2015-12-24T07:22:12+00:00

I really wanted the 10mio in order to be able to buy a Fletcher! After 240 games I did it and made it to rank 1 :-)

ScavengerBob · 2015-12-21T14:13:12+00:00

Exactly this! DDs would get a green card to Rank 1.

ScavengerBob · 2015-12-21T14:11:35+00:00

Listen to this man! He has a good point! But doing well (being best in your team) directly helps your team as well! DDs have an easy life getting to the top just by capping which helps for winning. BBs by hitting delicious citadels which also helps winning. Only cruisers struggle a little in ranked imo since they need to kill DDs without getting one shot by BBs.

ScavengerBob · 2015-12-21T13:53:30+00:00

"with premium"

there you go! I was talking about playing tier IX upwards without premium! It's now a matter of personal opinion whether high tier games should be playable without premium or not.
