yeah that's that kitakaze firing torpedoes into a melee of ships, stupid move.

i like this "stop and explain the situation"-thing. keep on doing it! That was very helpfull, i cought myself so often smoking up in so many stupid situations, not having a single smoke left when its needed

Preemptive torping only works if they enemy is predictable. Predictable as in they play the most logical choice, unlike the musashi at the end.

"everyday is weekend nowadays"...........yeah pretty much

OMG FLAMU PLS DO MORE OF THESE VIDS!!! You TEACH players how to position, which many suck at including myself. The freeze framing with explanation of what’s going on, your positioning, and what you will do next is a great method. Keep up the good work m8!

Thanks for going over your strategy in how you are using your Kitakaze! That teaches me a lot! I find it interesting how you are sitting back and analyzing everything as you do it. I also like how you are calling the ships are your team "Your Missouri" and "Your Atlanta". Good teamwork philosophy!

Well, at the moment it's a f@ckfight. The Daring with mediocre AA, no speed boost, large size, short smokes, no defensive fire in carrier heavy games with often 2 carriers in tier 8 upwards, with guns which are balanced around their AP with terrible HE.... it's horrible. I enjoy the ship as someone who's a British main, but all the British lines are in a crap place.

Step one to having a good game in any ship, but most particularly DD's NO CV's

Yeah well, Free Xp'ed this thing for ranked, worked very well. Just switched to the build you just showed. Bam, T10 mm, 4 kills, 231k dmg. i love it :D

Kitakaze is only overpowered because it has 1/4 pen HE and can pen 32mm armor with IFHE. adjust its pen to 1/5th and it will solve a lot of whats wrong with it. It wont solve what it can do to lightly armored cruisers, but as far as farming BB's with ~32mm armor and less it will require a lot more work

Today I've unlocked Kitty-Kaze! so far I've enjoyed a lot from Poi to Akizuki these are my favorite DDs so far followed by USN DDs. :3

BBQ in February. Nice.

The control points on that map looks a bit phallic

Last sentence most important!

Hallo, Flamu! Can you show the master of carry on the Roon in current meta please??? Thanks a lot for the effort anyway!

Kitakaze - carry, no flamu you mean club. I have noticed that Kitakaze has a magical ability where once it is spotted on a flank all the bbs sail in the other direction. It's pretty neat though how the bbs do move in herds.

Would you say the Harugumo fits this same playstyle considering its manoeuvrability and concealment is a little eh?

Set them up for torpedo bombers or dive bombers, and get plane health on your captain as fast as possible.

Oh they remade the map, moving that terrible D spot. Good stuff.

I don't think that sequential fire reduces your overall DPM, it only does for the first salvo. Because when you get to the second cycle the guns fire immediately after they reload. The only case when your DPM is reduced is when the time required to cycle the guns is more than your gun reload time, which, I think, only happens in the Harugumo with a slight AR buff. Please do correct me if my math is wrong.

@cbangm

5 жыл бұрын

I was thinking the same. In fact, sequential fire might even increase DPM (by a very small factor) because the guns fire the millisecond they are ready, where salvo fire requires you to double-click the instant the guns are reloaded. The difference may be negligible though. And we should of course not forget the fun rainbow of shells the sequential fire makes xD

I find sequential fire more accurate against bow on ships, in full salvo half of the shells falls to water

How would a Cleveland handle a Kitakaze? Or a Seattle for that matter, which is mostly a recycled Cleveland with more HP and no secondaries? I was in a Tier 10 Random Battle in a Seattle. The battle was turning against us as A cap was getting overrun Our Musashi was out by himself coming under fire from an enemy battleship and a smoked up Kitakaze. There were other enemy ships behind an island. I was pulling out of the area but decided to go back to help the Musashi get away. The Kita turned its attention to me and I got wrecked by it as well as fire coming in from all over the map. I could see the Kita without radar a lot of the time too. After he was done with me, he finished off the Musashi. The only thing I can take aware from it is I should have kept retreating and left the Musashi to his fate.

You have to be inside 10km, preferably 6-8km in the Clevelan/et al. That way you can score 6-8 pens per salvo. Two salvo will kill a wounded Kit, and four a full health one. Don't try to rush from outside 8km unless the Kit is severely wounded and you only need to score a half dozen hits total to kill.

If I get it right 16:14 cruisers beyond 10km cant hit agile fast neptunes. Noted with question mark

I'd Give Akizuki, Kitakaze, and Harugumo all pretty terrible concealment, in the 6.3-6.5 range. Then I'd completely remove the torpedo reload booster. They are amazing gunboats, and being able to pump out 12 Japanese torpedos at a time sounds like a mainline Japanese DD with crappy guns. I'd also give them the option of Def AA instead of spood beest.

@trims2u

Massively worth it. You go from 24mm to 32mm of penetration. Which basically means you increase the percentage of pens on cruisers and battleships from about 15% to close to 75%. It easily triples your average damage.

By the time I grind up to the Kitakaze Wargaming will probably nerf it.

The Devils Ship! Thing is Evil!

They'll probably nerf it to hell by the time I get one.

One of my favorite moments in WoWS was ambushing a Kitakaze in his own smoke with my Neptune. I snuck up on him and hydroed him before he knew what was happening. Unfortunately his buddy in the Yamato finished me off.

It sacrifices so little for so much. The only downsides of the ship are manueverability. It has a large turning circle and is slow (still has speed boost though, so even that is a questionable weakness.) In return, it gets 8 guns that fire under 3 seconds that can penetrate 32mm. Its hard to put into words how much damage that is. T\Its average concealment (despite it having amazing guns) will absolutely destroy enemy DDs, which makes it the king of T9 DDs. The only things I think that could beat it at the tier are the Black and maybe the Z46, simply because they can spot it and damage it without it damaging them. Its AA is also pretty good. Its torpedoes are Japanese, which means that they deal a ton of damage, plus it can fire 12 at the same time! The only downside to the torps is that they have a very, very long reload. It also has a ton of HP, top 3 in the tier. To summarize, it just deals such incredible amounts of damage to every ship class that there is not much counter play against it.

Conqueror is terrible tho. Oh, it causes fires, but it's a shotgun that excels in short range fights.. but doesn't have the armour for it and with the slow heals you get focussed down by DPM. Only way to play the ship is to sit at range and pray for those HE hits, but I've gone games with 70 main battery hits and 3 fires, because RNG. If they want to fix the ship, they need to make it like the Vanguard, make it a laser with a big citadel and give it historically strong British deck armour instead of the pathetic levels wargaming gave it.

These type of ships need big nerf. It is redicolous that some cheap light destroyer is sloughtering super heavy battleships like nothing happens. Destroyers decide battles, and big ships just supporting is redicolous. and now thay also will be best at sub hunting. Come on

Nooooooo!!! Sssshhhh! Don’t give WG anymore stupid ideas! Like they don’t have enough of their own LOL Remember the Yueyang...

Why do you keep firing sequentually even at BBs?! You can't argue that it's to "get more hits", it's a bloody battleship! You're sacrificing DPM for no reason. (besides perhaps your finger) Highly questionable EDIT: Also, you argue that sequential fire helps you get guaranteed damage against juking BB's... but one thing about sequential firing is that it gives you less good accuracy feedback, since it's harder to track which shots hit, and which don't. double click firing actually guarantees more accurate fire than sequential even then.

I'm not impressed in a positive way by the completely OP/broken, one dimensional Kitakaze. I'm not impressed by players who choose to play the completely OP/broken, one dimensional Kitakaze. I'm not impressed by players who "carry" with the completely OP/broken, one dimensional Kitakaze. I'm not impressed by Kitakaze players teamed up USS Black players in ranked "carrying". Big. Fucking.
