  • After having ran the F3 torps for a good while I have no plans whatsoever to switch back to the 12km ones. The sheer speed, damage and reload of these make them incredibly strong and make the Shima one of the most enjoyable DDs to play in my eyes. As usual you can find my recommended build at the end.

    Also, WG needs to buckle up their balls and just remove the stock 20km torps; it's a t10 elite ship; it should get the best torps sooner and not behind more grind.

  • @snowthemegaabsol6819
    @snowthemegaabsol6819 Před 7 lety +8

    The reason people developed a natural reluctance to use IJN destroyer guns is because:
    When you fire, you give away your position. Any torpedo runs or stealth anything you're trying to do is ruined. Everyone shoots at you because you're squishy and grant a lot of exp
    Even if you're using the terrain to your advantage, you can't always do that. There are far more scenarios where russian and US destroyers have the advantage in a gunfight, and in a matchup of equally competent destroyer captains, the IJN destroyer will lose every time. Especially with the russians. They're faster, their guns work better, they're easier to hit with, and they hit harder.
    The point of the IJN destroyers isn't to go getting in gunfights, because way more often than not, you're gonna be outgunned and at a huge disadvantage. Are there times for it? Yes. Is it something you can turn into a reliable tactic? No. Absolutely not. The Gearing in particular you showed was a complete potato. Any competent US destroyer would not have let themselves lose that much HP to begin with, on top of not actively trying to engage you at a closer range fight where they have an insane DPS advantage. It's easier to deal with those people like that in a Shima more than any other IJN destroyer currently in the game, and that's why they've pretty much dropped out of the meta ever since the russians got into the game. They still generally have the best stealth, but you're relinquishing that by shooting. You have to keep what little advantages you have, especially in high tier games. I myself have been able to make ridiculous plays because an IJN destroyer decided to fire, giving away his/her position and allowing me to take immediate action. It works every time

    • @corsaireduroythinderchief9876
      @corsaireduroythinderchief9876 Před 6 lety

      There are several reasons why you should use your gun too, 1) provide support for a team mate, 2) deter an attempt to flank when your side can't fire at the target for a while, 3) finish a target you just torped 4) distract the same target from spotting your torps. Obviously you wont win a gunfight against a Gearing or a Khabarovsk although i have killed more than a few of them, mainly the US DD but the Shima guns aren't that bad at all and i use them quiet a bit. Survive the onslaught for 20 sec once you stop firing and you're gone.

    • @PjodII
      @PjodII Před 7 lety +1

      Guess this is hard to do since you rely so much on your team. I had games in my DD where i had my flank totally under control, torped one after another and BBs still went far behind me, taking the most distance route so they could neither defend nor cap anything and we lost by points.
      Look for key positions in flamus videos, remember them and get them with the right ship. Dont camp, dont snipe, kite the enemies if necessary, use your HP, prioritize targets the correct way. Thats all I can say.

  • @FevnorTheWolf
    @FevnorTheWolf Před 7 lety +4

    I know TA is useless but apparently if you used that on the Shimakaze, if i recall you can get the speed on those torpedoes up to 82 Knots/6.5km with 5.9 detection range you have almost no room for error. but damn. 82 knot torpedoes.
    My highest tier ship is T7 so i cant really say much in the relm of T10s. I tinkered with this loadout on the PTS when it was live. it was fun, albeit somewhat suicidal in certain circumstances.

    • @juhunbaek7330
      @juhunbaek7330 Před 7 lety +2

      Official SWolf its 81. 76+5= 81. Those torps are useless. Ive tried them and they are way too short. Also since it's so fast, it has such huge activation range (Higher the speed, the further it has to go to be active and do damage.)

    @scheimong Před 7 lety

    Great video Flamu, as always. =)
    Btw I just got to the Benson on the Asia server for my US DD line. I know it's an incredibly strong DD but I'm wavering between the B hull and the C hull. B hull has an extra gun but the C hull has much better AA and significantly improved rudder shift. Given that high tier CVs are basically extinct on the Asia server I'm not too concerned with the AA. But the rudder shift improvement from 4 to 2.4 seconds is really significant. Flamu please advise me, thanks!

    • @scheimong
      @scheimong Před 7 lety

      Also some information about my play style and my captain: I really enjoy hunting opponent DDs, but I'm not very good when it comes to using torpedoes. For my Benson captain I have BFT, last stand, vigilance, survivability, and concealment. Thought this extra info might help with your advice.

  • @Lemmiatem78
    @Lemmiatem78 Před 7 lety

    So two questions. First is it possible to replicate that gun performance on lower tiers like the Hatsuharu and Fubuki? Second, what was the piano music that was playing in the background for most of the video?

    • @rudolfj2662
      @rudolfj2662 Před 7 lety

      You can do the same gun-stuff on the Fubuki, she has almost the same guns as the Shima (slightly higher reload).
      Hatsu lacks the 3rd turret to be truly effective.

    • @morbvsclz
      @morbvsclz Před 7 lety

      The Fubuki is the first IJN DD that actually has really good guns. Especially if you don't use the pointless C hull (which removes a Turret in exchange for better AA).
      Reload is slow, turret traverse is slow... But the guns are super accurate and your great concealment often gives you the time to turn all guns before opening fire. Also Fubuki has excellent rudder shift. You can pretty much drive away from a Benson and "shake your ass". He will struggle to get many hits on you with his american shell arcs, while your guns are accurate enough to land almost every shell.

  • @garethfairclough8715
    @garethfairclough8715 Před 7 lety +5

    Perhaps the 20km torps should be removed, only to be re-added with periodic "LOLTORPS" events where torpwalls are encouraged, everyone gets a free event shima* with 10 second torp reload, 20km/silly range and high speed but lowlowlow damage. Really, just a fun event where people can work on their torpedo beats :P
    *that is only usable in a special "LOLTORPS" game mode and is taken away at the end of the event.

  • @human7331654
    @human7331654 Před 7 lety +1

    Flamu what do you think of using the Type 93 torps with the Torp Acceleration captain's perk? I know you're probably using your build as is because you want both vigilance and superintendent, but what if you sacked one of them for the Torp acceleration and went with the longer range? You only really need smoke in the beginning of the match when firing on other dd's. Also if you're using your hit from range and run strategy against US/Russian dd's like you mentioned in the video, you should be long gone by the time his torps ever show up so vigilance isn't quite so important I would think as long as you make sure to keep that range.

    • @lancejacobs5596
      @lancejacobs5596 Před 7 lety

      That is what I do with my Shimakaze. I use the Torpedo Acceleration skill with the 12km range torpedoes. Doing that turns them into having a fast speed of 72 knots, but with a longer 9.6km range. Plus, those torpedoes are harder hitting than the F3 torps too.
      That extra range gives you a much better window of being able to fire torpedoes, yet still remain undetected.
      It is the easier option to work with, in my opinion. And 72 knot torpedoes are still difficult for battleships to dodge. Especially with the big torpedo patterns that the Shimakaze can lay down.

  • @symbs
    @symbs Před 7 lety +2

    You could have easily died when you hit 15k damage, if the Bismark or Zao had better aim. Would have made for a very short video. It's been hard to stay consistent with F3 torps on my end. You can do a lot of damage but it's a bit more suicidal than I would care for.
    Great advice on gun usage and ability. There are so many people afraid to get their paint scratched that they skip doing their job altogether and don't play the objective. Used a Fubuki exclusively season 3 to get rank 1. Using your guns is a major part of any DD's role including the japanese line.

  • @jacobliefeld9248
    @jacobliefeld9248 Před 6 lety

    What about putting torpedo acceleration on the 12 km torpedos? That bumps them up to 72 kts (only 4 kts less than the F3 torps), you get 1.6 km more breathing room/range, and you still have the best torp concealment for that DD.

    • @YYZFTW
      @YYZFTW Před 7 lety

      Exactly. Tried it. Your torp and vis range are less than 2 km apart combining that with the turning radius means you have to take right or obtuse attack angles or you basically hand your target a close quarters award. It doesn't help enough with the 12 km torps enouigh to make it worth it (imho).

    • @lancejacobs5596
      @lancejacobs5596 Před 7 lety

      You are totally wrong there. Torpedo Acceleration turns the 12km range Type 93 Mod 3 torpedoes into torps that have a 9.6k range, and a speed of 72 knots. That is a very viable setup on the Shimakaze. I would rather have that extra 1.6km cushion of range to work with, so that I can be sure that I am undetected, together with the extra damage potential those torps have.

  • @Esmith4422
    @Esmith4422 Před 7 lety

    My win rate has gone from 48% to 57% and my avg dmg has gone up 6k since swapping to F3 torps. I'm with you, flamu.

  • @lancejacobs5596
    @lancejacobs5596 Před 7 lety

    Actually, there is another very viable Torpedo option to use with the Shimakaze. And that is to use the 12km range Type 93 Mod 3 torps, but combine doing that with having the Torpedo Acceleration Commander skill. Do that, and you end up with torpedoes that have a nice fast speed of 72 knots, but also have a longer 9.6km range, and also have 2,400 more in damage potential. Say you land 5 torps on target, and that will then give you another 12,000 in potential damage.
    Yes, the reload speed is a little longer by doing this, and the torpedo speed is only 72 knots, compared to 76 knots with the F3 Torps. But I like having that additional cushion of 1.6km more range to work with, along with the higher damage potential.
    To my thinking, this is a good tradeoff in capabilities, and thus another very viable configuration for this ship's torpedoes.

    IMO the Fletch torps with the speed upgrade are the best in game, 71ish kts and a sub-100 sec reload, makes for some very angry Yamatos calling for more DD nerfs. LOL

    • @StrikeFromTheSkies
      @StrikeFromTheSkies Před 7 lety +1

      They're a little short in terms of range then imo.
      I'd vouch for base Fletcher torps being one the best in the game. And by that I mean upgraded ones.

    • @lancejacobs5596
      @lancejacobs5596 Před 7 lety

      Your statement here is not at all true. Doing that on the Fletcher gives you torps with only a 8.4km range. And the Fletcher does not have the low 5.9km detection range the Shimakaze has. its lowest possible detection range is 6.4km
      Put torpedo acceleration on the Shima's 12km range torps, and you have torpedoes with a range of 9.6km ( 1.2km better than the Fletcher ), and a speed of 72km ( 1 knot faster ). And when using Torpedo Acceleration the Shimakaze's margin between its detection and torpedo range is 3.7km, compared to only 2km with the Fletcher. That is a much more comfortable window to work with, in stealth firing torpedoes.
      Not to mention the fact that the Shimakaze can fire 15 torpedoes, compared to only 10 on the Fletcher. Plus each of the Shima's 12km Type 93 Torpedoes are much more powerful than the Fletcher's best torpedoes, with a potential damage rating of 23,767, compared to 19,033 on the Fletcher. So a broadside of 15 torps from the Shimakaze has a total potential damage of 356,505, while a torpedo broadside from a Fletcher has a potential damage of 190,330.
      That works out to only having 54% of the firepower that the Shimakaze has.
      Sorry dude, but the Fletcher loses out by a wide margin when one does a proper comparison.

    • @srir.5282
      @srir.5282 Před 7 lety

      That's what I do. Torpedo acceleration is outstanding the 12km torps because they become practically perfect.

    • @repaleonhalo9754
      @repaleonhalo9754 Před 7 lety

      sounds like good torps.. but id prefer vigilence and super intendent :)
      and its only 5 knots for 2,4km range drop, and you use up a captain perk..
      i think just the 12km are good enough or 8km even,, just put them real tight like a carpet..
      even though i use expert marksman and turret traverse speed upgrade haha,, makes the guns pretty good actually, but i gave up vigilence so seeing torps last second can be a pain

    • @krostouin
      @krostouin Před 7 lety

  • @Platinumsniper

    Another problem is that the 20km torps are the first torps that are on the Shima

  • @britishknightakaminininja1123

    The real moment of greed was using that smoke to try to kill-steal the Zao that you saw one salvo from death, of which you'd done none of the 99% of damage to him to that point. :) The Yamato at the end was understandable. But you *knew* not to use the smoke.

    • @juhunbaek7330
      @juhunbaek7330 Před 7 lety +3

      Jerico Joaquin gearing 16.5km has much smaller detection than shimakaze 20km torps to the point where with torpedo acceleration, its pretty useable with 71knots.

    • @JericoLeslie
      @JericoLeslie Před 7 lety

      Ho Jun Baek i don't know why WG nerf Shima's torp but not gearing's 16 kms

    • @juhunbaek7330
      @juhunbaek7330 Před 7 lety +5

      Jerico Joaquin because it's damage is so low compared to shima. Those torps do such low damage. It has about 6k listed damage lower than shima's 12km torps (it has 2k lower listed damage than fletcher torps too, which is why some people think it's a downgrade along with longer reload leading to lower dpm), and unlike shima who has 15, gearing has 10. (356490 alpha torpedo salvo vs 179000).

    • @StrikeFromTheSkies
      @StrikeFromTheSkies Před 7 lety +1

      Gearing torps are garbage solely because of their enormously long reload. Fletcher torps are imo better in every way imaginable, that 90 sec reload is just amazing, while Gearing's range is excessive and gives you absolutely no benefits.

    • @juhunbaek7330
      @juhunbaek7330 Před 7 lety

      Dungeon Master not really. I prefer gearing torps over fletcher torps (well gearing over fletcher in general). It does a half decent amount of damage, has decent range with torpedo acceleration unlike fletcher (who has garbage torp range with torpedo acceleration), and it's reload isn't that bad (its slower than fletcher but it doesn't feel that different to be honest). It's range enables some kills that fletcher torp range would never enable, and I use full reload build so I don't really need the torps up close combat because of 2.4s reload and 130s smoke.

  • @mikegrant8031

  • @IconProduction01
    @IconProduction01 Před 6 lety

    With the current campy tier 10 meta where no one wants to go out first, I've actually been able to make the 20km shima torps work. You have 15 of them so you can simply clog a choke area with them or use them as general cap/area denial torps. Really it's only usefull in a game where the enemy team won't leave the "safety" of their spawn.

  • @ofi1238
    @ofi1238 Před 7 lety

    20km torps are useful when you use a Last Stand captain and in a div to get your health to 10% or less. Since you can't be in the front being a 1 hit pinata :P

    • @rrm2305
      @rrm2305 Před 7 lety

      whats your average damage in a game with F3 on the Kagero?
      Personally I never liked Kagero and it didn't get any better with the nerf and when i tried the 8 km torps was getting good damage in some games but radar made it very risky so i switched back to longer range torps which to me were not great my win rate rate dropped way down so did damage. Some people get good results in Kagero unfortunately i never had the skill to make it work

  • @Pilvenuga
    @Pilvenuga Před 7 lety +2

    As a player who has played all classes somewhat mediocre and whose only T10 atm is a Shimakaze, i so, so much wanted to disagree with you. But i realized that our experiences are different and where i might allow for the enemy to have a chance to dodge (with the 12km torps), your mentality of fighting is different. I realized you do not allow the enemy any chance and instead of making yourself into a force the enemy has to deal with or die (with the 12km torps, with or without the torpedo speed upgrade), you instead always decide you are the person to kill them and - thus decide to opt the 8km torps on the Shimakaze.
    Hubris?
    We all have it.
    Experience?
    You may have it better.

  • @Angrymuscles
    @Angrymuscles Před 7 lety +1

    Videos like this remind me of why battleships are underpowered and destroyers are overpowered. It's a real shame that all Tier 8+ battleships don't have radar and sonar as standard. Although, nerfing all torpedoes to deal no more than 6,000 damage maximum would be acceptable too. Or increasing the hitpoints of all battleships by 100% to compensate for the damage they can't avoid taking.

    • @Alighierian
      @Alighierian Před 7 lety

      That's a bit very b&w there.
      Destroyers can be very overpowered, but at the same time they get countered hard by stuff like radar and carrier planes. Nerfing torp damage or buffing bb hitpoints doesn't fix anything, it just makes different stuff more annoying. If anything it would simply dumb down the game because the only viable tactics would be BB vs BB spam or burning everything down from smoke or behind islands.
      Some of the most reliable counters to DD's are radar (which only the RU and US ships have for whatever reason) and CV's, but with the most recent change to repair costs (always active, set cost) carriers have become less common, and as a result DD spam picks up.
      Sadly the only real counter to dd spam is implementing a hard limit like CVs have, and I say that as DD player.

    • @Angrymuscles
      @Angrymuscles Před 7 lety

      I agree. Thanks for not being too harsh about it. I do play destroyers and enjoy them, but it's always with a bit of sadness when battleships are that easy to kill. Tier 10 battleships dying in a few seconds just doesn't seem right, especially when there's nothing they can do about it.
      It's worse because destroyers don't even have to damage anything, just be in the battle and somewhere close enough to spot them. Then battleships will stay passive for fear of being on someone's CZcams highlight video. Fear of embarrassment and online shame are powerful motivators.

    • @lancejacobs5596
      @lancejacobs5596 Před 7 lety

      If you think that the game is unrealistic, you need to read some WWII history. In particular, read the accounts of the Battle of Surigao Strait, which was one of the actions that comprised the Battle for Leyte Gulf, which is by far the largest naval battle ever fought.
      The Southern Japanese Task Force was led by the Battleships Fuso and Yamashiro. Both were totally destroyed in the battle, with tremendous loss of life. The Fuso had only 10 survivors, and suffered 1,620 dead. The Yamashiro, which was the flagship of this fleet, had only 11 survivors, with the loss of 1,625 lives, including the Admiral that commanded the force.
      You may ask how were these huge ships so utterly destroyed? The reason is because there were 3 squadrons of Fletcher Class Destroyers in the battle. They fired massive salvos of torpedoes at the two Battleships, striking them repeatedly. The Fuso actually was split in two, by the repeated torpedo hits. The Yamashiro suffered so many hits on one of her sides, that she then turned over and capsized.

  • @exaltdragon
    @exaltdragon Před 7 lety +1

    Gonna outright say, I don't like 8km torpedoes. It's way too easy to get into a CV match and never ever get a chance to get within anywhere near 8km for 20 minutes of gameplay with some stupid dive bomber or fighter hovering over you the whole game, and your nonexistent AA failing to shoot any down, threatening to hit you with seven 10,000 damage bombs. At least with 10-20km torpedoes you can launch them, let them disappear after leaving the plane's torp spotting range, and there's still a chance someone will forget about them, think they timed out, or not notice them, etc and blunder into them. With Torpedo Acceleration they are still pretty good at getting 1-2s hits even if the opponent starts turning immediately upon sight. Of course with hydro and catapult fighters it's a different story but it's actually not your job to hunt enemy DDs. The only reason it worked this game was that the gearing and fubuki both didn't have concealment expert(or maybe commander was retraining), which is very rare in general for high tier DD-on-DD engagements. If not, the gearing would usually get the first shot off at Shimakaze because of better turret rotation. If you can oneshot or twoshot the guy, sure, go for it, but any more than that is risky to say the least.
    Consider what would happen if the Gearing went north east instead of west, had concealment expert. You would have probably died or be forced to smoke and trade unfavourably because you'd be only able bring 1 set of guns to bear at the start while he brought all of his and at 5-6km it's practically impossible to miss even with the slower USN shells. It took you over 8 salvos to take out 1/4 of his HP with all 3 of your turrets, and he removed over half of your HP despite your smoke.
    With the Fubuki, he could have just turned away while spotting you for his team. If you turn, he also can turn.

    The new player looks at the rating... of a T10. I really dont think someone who reaches T10 will be a new player. At lower tiers that's usually the case. But it's true, the 20 km torps are awful. Its like a bait. People choose it and they become pretty much irrelevant to the battle. Nice vid though, the montana kill was just cure a to the cancer.

    flamu, ur argumentation is flawed by the fact, that the F3 torps have a higher visibility, equals to the SAME REACTION TIME for the target as the 12km torps have! so WHEN they are spotted, its FOR THE TARGET the same! both torps offer 9.6 seconds reaction time! that makes the 12 km torps with TA BETTER than the F3 torps! only advantage of F3 is: faster reload and that the targets moves less until he spots them! furthermore the argument that a hydro-ship cannot evade it is also flawed! german hydro = 5.9 km! 12 km torps have then 33 seconds reaction time while the 8km offer still 29! not really a mentionable difference!

  • @corsaireduroythinderchief9876

    Sorry but i disagree totally. Now that players knows the rules of the future clan war, there are even MORE radars in Random than before and for the past few month, the multiplicated like rabbits. Plus i dont mind playing vs the team you had in this video any time. Type93 (20km) torps are more than a valid proposition considering the actual trend, it's way too easy for players to park themselves behind a rock, pop radar and get hopeless DDs deleted by the rest of the team. How many time have you been spotted and focused this way during this game? As for the torps themselves, once in a cap between rocks, good luck avoiding them even if you spot them earlier, and that's providing you are not camping into a smoke bubble. So no surprise there that players doesn't agree with you and for once W.G was spot-on not giving in your demand to take them out of the game. I'll use F3 torps when radars are gone. Little reminder: Their range are between 8.49km and 11.70km, they last between 25 seconds to 180 seconds. Good luck getting anywhere near a cap or even trying to spot for your team with 2/3 radar ships in the opposite team. Enters Type93 and counter-tactics. For your info i have the same hit ratio with those torps than the Type90 mod. 1 of the Akatsuki in tVII but with a much higher Average Damage, 57.091, perhaps not as high as you but Average for the type is 48,519, and my maxi with this type is 281 145k.

    and ijn cruiser should have acces to the 12km because it is bullshit that RN cruiser can stealth fire their torp and IJN cant (bullshit) while they were all equiped with type 93 which had a minimal range of 20km range (faster than 10km us or rn torp) 12km on them isn't op and way more realistic
