I personally feel that stealth radar is one of the only counters to DDs that can think and breath at the same time. Unlike a DDs ability to torp undetected an entire game, you only get a couple of radars to spot them, and the further the range the shorter the duration. It seems entirely fair to me to be able to counter a DDs stealth for at least a few seconds.

Excellent content. What makes me hesitate about upgrading from the Gearing is that the Gearing gets the legendary hull, which drops the concealment down to 5.6 km. It doesn't seem like much, but having that little bit of advanced warning before a super ship is able to see you can be decisive. Especially if the opponent doesn't have RPF to help find you. On paper, I can see why some would favor Daring over Gearing. In a 1v1 match, I think Daring should win most of the time. But I think the real strength of a Gearing is that it plays well with other ships. Daring's gimmicks mostly benefit only itself, but a Gearing smoke can hide supporting ships for minutes at a time, allowing them to reach advantageous positions or fire with concealment. If you put a smokescreen down for a Worcester, they can easily follow behind you, support you with sonar, radar, and defensive fire. An enemy DD might charge the smoke, thinking that he's about to get into a 1v1 with an inferior destroyer, only to find himself within 7 km of a Worcester and a Gearing. If you're a USN destroyer captain, you try to create these sorts of opportunities for unfair fights.

nvm ignore what I said

I beg to differ, the stealth mino radar is alright because the ship will blow up if not positioned correctly, and even if it is positioned correctly, it will take a fair chunk of damage anyway.

I'm sure this as been asked a million times, but how do you get your screen to look like that with these beautiful ultrawide vistas? Is it some kind of fish eye mod? I play on max settings 2540x1440 and it still dosen't look anything like this.

I'm absolutely wrecking in the gearing, not because of the guns but because of the damn torps, 90 sec reload with 16,5km range, 70kts AND 1,4 concealment is just insane. Now imagine this in a platform that also has just more HP and burst fire to keep those screeners at bay, yummy!

I think in order to show a fair representation of the fun&engaging (tm) experience created by Wargambling, you would also need to show a game where you get dumpstered and spotted to death by a super CV and your AA does nothing which is about 50% of games.

No it's not worth it. The problem with tech tree destroyers is that they are completely powerless when they come across the likes of Smaland or Marceau, both of which are very common. Additionally, Humphreys is essentially a bigger and clumsier Gearing with an F key, that is to say it's more of a side grade to Gearing than an upgrade like the other 3 destroyers at tier 11. If you really want a super destroyer, Yamagiri, Dalarna, and Zorkiy are all significantly better than Humphreys

@slip6699

The tier 11 SHOULD be this good. You are top tier with some substantial advantages over lower tier ships. The US DD line is very good. It's a hybrid line. Good at a lot but not the "best". If you understand that the low tiers are more gun boats you will do well. Tier 7, you can actually play as a torp boat but you should be using both styles from there on up. Past tier 6, you need to understand that you don't get a heal like most of the other DD's. So you really need to pick your fights and adapt your play to your opponents capabilities. Don't ignore your guns. They are very good, especially up close where the trajectory stays flat. Long range does not favor you, but you certainly can pick your opportunities to use your guns at range to get fires after a flood, chip damage and just being really opportunistic.

@@slip6699 It seems that some people don't fully understand or appreciate the benefit of the USN DD line, which is balance. They are good at both guns and torps. Guns can save you in a brawl, the torps can sink everything from BBs to DDs.

balti is the only us ship that can stelth radar and not very well as the wit full stelth 9.9km with 10km radar but its good to know

thought somers has the best torpedoes in the USA tech tree?

the ghost radar, or stealth radar, is honestly just a gimmick like all the other gimmicks. I personally find it very annoying when I'm in a cruiser being spotted by a DD or worse yet, sub, and there's nothing I can do about it because he's outside my radar detect range yet can still detect me. I think we could have them have the same value or similar at least. the plymouth is a good example where the detect is 9.3km but the radar is 9.0. you wait a couple seconds after your detected and hit that radar

if they remove stealth radar ...radar mino is obsolete as a built. as a matter of fact they should give wuster its 10km back now that it is so hard power crept

The problem with this ship is, much like gearing and the rest of the USN DD line, is lack of utility in the current meta game. It may do good occasionally, but it’s not a great gun boat or torp boat. Z-52, harugumo, kleber, Marceau, and Halland are still far better ships a tier lower due to their better capabilities in one way or another. This ship demonstrates in my play, why the USN non-premium DDs(and some of the premiums too) are still mechanically obsolete in the meta and need to be rebalanced.

​@@LoanwordEggcorn By balance, I assume you mean the jack of all trades, master of none mentality. The reality is that there are branches that are better jack of all trades. The German 12.8cm branch has significantly better guns and solid torps with more utility in the consumable department. The european DD line is better overall as a jack of all trades in terms of guns and torps. The IJN gunboat line(Aki and onwards) also do basically the same thing but with far superior gunnery. You could even argue the russian Grozovoi line is also objectively better as a jack of all trades. Outside of the IJN torp branch, and the mid-low british, winning gun fights is pretty much a pipe dream(assuming head to head at full). The USN DD line falls largely into the master of none half of the above sentiment. They do everything adequately, but they excel at nothing and better jack of all trades have surpassed them since their release. The game has changed since 2016 and the meta-game is vastly different now.

@@LoanwordEggcorn your comment is really contradictory. I’m not sure what your trying to decipher about my comment(s). You have to keep in mind that the IJN gunboats have torp reload booster, which gives them a wall when they need it or the ability to get a close in dev strike. But ultimately you rely on your guns 80% of the time cause your guns are really, really good. However your torps are pretty good as well so you can be flexible in how you approach things as the game state changes. No dd captain worth their salt would choose a fletcher over a kitakaze in ranked for example. Not if you want to win or progress your rank without being carried anyway.

OP gimmics :/ Legit why can't this be a T11 gearing but you can change the gun modes to short and fast shells and normal USA DD shells, not super magic uranium HE shells 🙄
