- Gearing is very good at everything and because of this, it is a very flexible ship to play. It is easily one of the best dd's to get if you are looking for a good destroyer to learn to play destroyers.

I'm Potato_Quality, a member of O7, and probably one of the best players in this game. Hopefully, on this channel, I can teach you a bit about how I play the game. Thanks for watching.
If you want to know how I mod my game to look the way it does here is a video: • A Video on the Mods I ...

Remember when stealth firing was a thing, Pepperidge Zao remembers.
Nice Gearing vid !!!! You should make a Shimakaze video !!! Would like to see your perspective on it !!!
Agree on this
He already has
I think DDs are still the highest skill cap ships in the game. You have insane damage potential, but your HP pool is limited by radar CLs and CVs
That is why I like to play DDs, the entire match is a live or die adrenaline rush. Perfection results in huge benefits for the team and any mistake is death. I play Farragut a lot and you can actually ruin a CVs day if you know how to ambush planes.
Not just insane damage potential, but massive control over the game's outcome. Whether your team makes or breaks the game is heavily influenced by DDs and their ability to cap and zone out the enemy team.
@@SoldierOfFate Also if you're the last standing player against several ships, you have the best chances in a dd to still win the game (and get a precious Solo Warrior). Especially if all enemy dds have been sunk.
Man it’s so cool to see you play some of the older ships, I never see any videos on them anymore
I was a tin can sailor on a Gearing Class Destroyer USS Steinaker DD-863 1971-74. Fun times.
i only watched like, 3 of your vids and the only thing i can say i really learned is that you are god damn amazing at this game and that i still suck after 5 years of playing this
He has like 30k in games. After 6 years i have maybe 3k
More superb analysis and advice. Thanks! Key takeaway: use DD to stop the strength of the enemy push. P.S. Really like Gearing too.
I'd say the Daring is the best JOAT DD in the game right now. The smokes are worse, but access to hydro and a heal is extremely valuable for a DD, especially with the reload speeds Daring has. You can comfortably spec it out to anything you want it to be, and since every turret 360s you can switch targets or kite far more effectively than a Gearing.
The Daring has pretty mediocre torpedoes and incredibly strong guns do I'd definitely say the Daring leads harder into the gunboat role.
@@iiiiii_2212 daring torps are not the best but they do some good dmg and the guns are great for fire starting and the AP dpm broadsiding targets is very good but the whole line is fun to play but in my opinion the tier 8 lighting is where the fun starts
@@iiiiii_2212 Think of it more like the Daring is slightly more to the gunboat side of hybrid than the Gearing, and the Z-52 is more to the torpboat side of the spectrum.
@@atpyro7920 I think the Z-46/52 are more gunboats than anything else at this point. Their whole gimmick of fast torps has been taken over by Pan-EU DDs while the recent buff to their HE pen has made them pretty formidable gunboats. I'm sure they still work as torpedoboats, but I think a full gunboat build will generally get you better results at this point.
I used to think the short smokes were worse too, but I actually like them better now, for a couple of reasons: 1) You rarely actually sit in smoke for 2 minutes, and if you do it without hydro it's not a great idea anyway, and 2) You're much more likely to use a smoke to hide from aircraft temporarily when spotted int he open with a short smoke, as you tend to be stingier with using the american smokes just to hide for a few seconds.
As a Caps fan I approve of your captain.
"Jerry! They love to throw Jerry!"
"Whaddya mean they love to throw?"
"They're obsessed with it! They live for it! They were born to throw!"
"They were *born* to throw?"
"Yes! They're thoroughbreds at throwing!"
"George, you're being unreasonable."
"They're the Secretariats of throwing! Throwin' thoroughbreds!!"

Gearing is one of my favorite ships. Ran mine with a concealment focused torp build. With the legendary mod, I was on par with Shimas for concealment
Gearing was my first T10 ship. Still enjoy her a lot!
Lucky mine was Worcester
@@theno.1violakid820 lucky mine was des moines
@@rudrakshmishra2761 haha
@@rudrakshmishra2761 I prefer Desmoine
Feels like Maltese needs to watch this to better his torp hit ratio
Love this old fossil of a ship.
Daring has entered a the chat
Daring is a great ship, overall probably better than Gearing, but it is no replacement. The torps are worse in pretty much every way, and while IMO its smoke is better, it is a very selfish smoke unlike Gearing smoke, which is the best teamplay smoke in the game.
Kinda eager to hear your thoughts on the Z-52 post patch
Gearing, at least to me, will always be the best hybrid dd at tier 10. Being good at generally everything is poggers, yeah some outgun you but you have that sweet unique upgrade to drop your concealment to 5.6km for basically no penalty.
I’d say the dpm penalty is quite significant. Personally prefer playing gearing without leg mod unless it’s comp.
I think Halland and Daring are both better for randoms and ranked (which is just 7v7 randoms). Halland’s torp spreads, heal, and better AA are just so nice. Daring has better DPM and much more useful smokes especially in CV matches. Plus the hydro and heal is really nice. In CB’s, the long gearing smoke is MUCH more useful though.
Daring heal + better HP pool also helps with daring being overall better than gearing too.
Daring and halland can't pen gearing's midsection, it's 21mm
@@antoniohagopian213 That doesn't matter a huge amount. They can both pen the nose/ss and if gearing exposes that 21mm section then daring especially can punish it hard with the AP.
@ANUBHAV SHARMA I agree. Good base hp + heal makes for quite the package.
Nice video.
And I really love the English/American pronounciation of Öland. Only about half right but stills stick 😂
Nice. This is exactly how I set up my Gearing, except I got special upgrade for the speedboost, because DefAA is a lie.
Just a suggestion, you should zoom out 1x or 2x while playing ships with slow shells. Like Gearing, Daring, Mino etc. Much easier to land shells successfully. Even Ohio becomes super easy to play if zoomed out 1x.
Been finding the two torpedo "upgrades" which add 90% combined to incapacitation risk are resulting in destruction of tubes far more than prior to Cptn skills rework...
can we get a harugumo game please?
May i recommend you zoom out (1notch for soviets, 2 notches for the rest)when you play destroyers?
You emphasize gearings torp power. With the somers though, you have the same torps, but more of them and able to tripple stack. Gearing obviously has the edge in terms of gunpower.
In what kind of situation/lineup would you prefer a gearing over a somers? Is there any?
Whenever i go against a Gearing in ranked or sometimes CB i feel like its a very versitile useful ship. But when it comes to me picking, i basicly always end up with somers over gearing. whats your take on that?
How You feel about all the Bot CV's in Ranked ? Very nice MM Money per Min Map
But torpedo mod 2 takes out my tubes when i use it everytime?
guess I'll have to give gearing another try. usually die really quick. my favorite dd is the ognivoi maybe because of the 3 heals it has
you'd have to change the captain build bro. not enough points to add that skill in that config. It's 3 points and you only get 21 so 1 point short. But AWESOME video my friend (as usual) Love the FireFly Gearing my fav
The only T10 I had before I quit 3 years ago , remember stealth firing ? I 'member
I'd love to see a similar video about Holland, that would be sick!
Great vid do you have a clan or discord that people could join ?
How do you shoot behind mountains and islands? Like you curve the shells over. When i try that they just hit said mountain. - new
Player
The angle needs to be correct. Typically you need to be back away from the island a bit to let the shells arc over.
I suck at 'Jack of all trades' boating. Its either full gunnery or full torp stealth builds for me.
Done ranked in Gearing, great fun, Smalands, Halands, Darings and Japanese gunboats are a bit hard work in gunfights but the torps are excellent. Isn't Vampire a tier 3?
Their are 2 vampires the tier 3 one, then the tier 10 Vampire 2. Australian Daring class that only has 1 torpedo tube, and no heal but with a better reload, sonar and concealment
I keep thinking , how some of the DDs now would do stealth firing in the open. No smoke, no islands, just out in the open making BBs and cruisers cry.
And with dazzel and ap/he/sap nerf they are basically unhittable and if you do hit them they do no damage. The amount of dds that sail up to me and fire torps at point blank is frustrating. 5 16 inch ap rounds, tis but a scratch.
@@jebes909090 This is back in the day when you could fire, but have your detection range less than your firing range. SAP would be a night mare. Now, when I seal club at tier 5 with the TX or Italian CG it is death to DDs with those two ships. I just have an idea when they are around and may be fire one turret and they appear. Now the Mass at tier 8 I still blap the DDs, but also have secondaries and yes I have detinated DDs with secondaries a few times. The lowest number of hits was 3. Now 9 and 10 BBs it is harder to get out of the close torp spread, and the only way to blap them is by having HE loaded. Now as to have I just strolled up to a BB and dumped my torps, yep. Especially if they are stopped with guns in the wrong direction. Remember max disrespect.
how to build detectability by sea with 5.8km?
For the life of me I cannot remember how to fire at locked ships while zoomed out. For reference 8:40 - 9:00. What is the button for that?
right click :)
@@PotatoQuality *face palm*
was this video before SAP rounds cause i feel as a DD captain those scare me more then anything =0
Vampire doesnt get heal though, it trades surviviability and torpedos for longer range hydro, guns and a situational smoke screen. Its a Daring that will die quicker when spotted.
Why not lose 5% torp speed with Swift fish and add the spare capt skill you have to get Superintendent?
DD - Masterrace
G e a r g i o n g .
My first love in the game and my most played boat. Altho I'm only around 4k total random battles into the game. I'm an experienced noob
Wait ... I went to check and Gearing's raw HE DPM is higher than Kitakaze's??
maybe higer alpha? also kita can pen 32 with ifhe which means in reality kita has higher dpm
@@tommasobey8003 yup higher alpha but also same reload with modules (2.6s). Yes with the 32mm pen, but the fact that Gearing has a higher raw HE DPM is going to make me reevaluate engaging a Gearing in a DD vs DD gunfight at least!
@@poopsie117 kita has a whole other turret though does it not? but gearings alpha is that much higher that it doesnt matter?
might i ask why no legendary update on it to reduce camo ?
Outspoting enemy Dd's has little to no use in randoms. It also reduces your dpm, both guns and torpedoes.
@@lukasvtipil9951 so legendary good for clan/ranked but not for random games? thanks !
@@bzycior Exactly, you're welcome
i don't ever increase the range of my DD's. i can isolate the fight to fewer ships and vanish sooner that way
4:19 gearing thicc
You are not wrong about it's torpedo. Gearing's torp damage is the third highest damage from tier 10 tech tree destroyer only khabarovsk and shimakaze have superior damage output than gearing
Then you have crazy Battleships players like me. Who have American and French ships with full on 9+km secondary and run Torpedo Lookout system and Vigilance. I love deleting destroyers and cruisers with one salvo. Dead Eye is for chickens.
Of course, the Vampire will get released as it is, just as Smolensk and all other BS ships before. Then nerf will come to Vampire in about 3-4 month after its released when the sales starts to dip (and WG makes up some BS excuse regarding spreadsheets). Then WG will make it just like a Daring but as a Premium.
So, I would be very cautious to buying this overpriced Premium, just talk to anyone that bought Atlanta.
PQ, how do you get the Navigator mod to the left?
Good sound advice, thanks.
my guess would be press ctrl to bring up your mouse and just drag and drop
Though obviously powercreeped overall, Gearing is still a terror in the right hands because you can pretty much do everything. Torps? Of course. AA cover? Got that too. Smoke? It's USN quality. Spotting? You only get outspotted by Shimas at equal tier.
Gunfighting is where it somewhat drops off because it has to rely on someone's overconfidence into chasing it, and you certainly won't win against Klebers, Darings, and Hallands as they can easily out-DPM you and/or have heals to compensate.
Is a very good ship, but i prefer Fletcher.
Regards
Very good vid! the Only thing I didn't enjoy is the sounds of your guns.
I dont think Gearing is bad but (and not including CV games) here are my issues.
- its a big target sitting higher than a petro, and its a slow goofy boi
- shells rarely ever reach its full range, or if they do reach the ship it doesnt reach the super structure which is the only thing on BBs and cruisers you can he pen. This range puts you square into radar coverage.
- shell speed and arcs. They are really slow, nearly 1 second to cover 1km. And you will see shells constantly clip through towers and not hit or fall on secondaries and not pen.
- the torps are great but i constantly have a torp pod perma knocked out on the first salvo i take. Even with the protection skills and equipment no other ship gets perma breaks like this. Youre now a torp boat with 5 torps
I play my gearing daily and i enjoy it but most games im just hoping my spotting supports enough and i hit torps to contribute to damage, and not everything is god gaped. New captain rework required 21 points to get what i used to have with 19 and yet i still cant get all torp skills unless i drop radio location. Other DDs detection range is equal or close enough with better guns (see z-52 video). It may be "good" but it needs a small tweak here or there to be back on par.
With a FULL concealment build, you should not have been spotted til around ~8.5km when firing! FFS Zao Full Conceal did not get spotted til 13.8km when firing!
So I THINK Gearing is far better than JUST 10km! 203mm guns on Zao with a 9.1 km detection, versus 127mm guns with a 5.9 km detection!
IIRC Gun Caliber DID play a role in whether or not you could "Stealth Fire" - but maybe not, the game was so much more simple back then...
Mostly in GOOD ways!
I love DD, sometimes CV is annoying to deal with. But luckily, most CV players in this game is very bad. You can outplayed them
My favorite thing to do with a DD is hang out by some friendly BBs and watch torp planes come over to hit the BBs. Keep your AA off until they are right over you then suddenly throw on AA guns, priority target and Defensive AA. The CV player will panic and try to wheel the squad around to hit you and by that time you have most of them burned down.
Daring anytime soon?
In my opinion haland is just better then gearing cuz you have almost the same gunpower and better torps
Vampire II got a buff the guns got buffed from 4 ish sec to 2.3 and the smoke was nerfed to 120sec.... BALANS blyat!
Okay
Am focusing the Shima line because am tired of seeing so many shima potatoes and is honestly annoying to watch them in the team. A couple of shima guides and am gold.
gearing should be nerfed!
I hate gearing
Content would be great, but video quality sucks big time.
