Those tier lists and the dev blogs are by far my favorite content. Love it!

Never had the chance to say it, but here it goes: thank you for your Tier lists! These are my all time favorites :)

More lists please @flamu. Your tech breakdowns are S tier

I feel Flamu heavily underrates ballistics, except for the random cases where he doesn't. At 9:26 someone in chat says Sherman has the same HE DPM as Gearing, and Flamu brings up the ballistic advantage, not to mention the SAP DPM. Yet then discussing ships like Alvaro de Bazan, he says it does no damage, yet it has higher sustained HE DPM than Kleber. Like yeah, it doesn't have as much raw gunpower like something like a Daring, but you go try and hit a DD or cruiser outside 8-9km and the effective DPM will be closer, or even have Alvaro de Bazan overtake. It's why ships like Gdansk and Sherman are so devastating, excellent raw DPM and good ballistics to boot. I'd move Marceau down to A just because of how absolutely terrible its ballistics are, it just gets zoned so hard by cruisers with any decent shell velocity. Kleber has the ballistics to effectively farm cruisers, or opt to run AFT to comfortably farm from out of effective range, so that's a deserved S. Delny is literally an uptiered Tashkent, so that's a deserved D tier. AvB has a discount reload booster, just one that it prefers to close fights with instead of opening, so it can pump out a surprising amount of damage. I say it deserves B tier. If Elbing can fit as a weak C because it's more of a cruiser than a DD, existing just to farm damage, then Khaba should at least be a similarly weak C since it does the same thing.

I must say i had the same opinion with Regolo, but after the buffs where you can slot the smoke mod and range mod on her you get a pretty comfy farmer with 52 seconds smoke duration and 13.5km range. I recommend you experiment with that set up and see a bit more. In general I would love to see more Tier A-B dd gameplay that are never seen these days.

Objectively I can't disagree with you on Gearing, but I think the secret sauce to making it decent in today's meta is using the 10.5 km torps and going full torpedo boat with it. You can get the torp reload down to something like 70 seconds, which allows you to spam salvos out and do a lot of damage against bigger ships (and catch a lot of enemy DDs by surprise). Definitely needs a survivability buff though.

Kiitos palju Flamu. Very usefull video

A good list. Plying games in the Halland is quite painful now - I need to get better with my Sherman and Marceau (and get better captains!).

Love the tier lists my dude!

TLDR: gunboat good torpboat bad

I run a radar YY and look at the pre-match line up for smoke dds, they are my prey. Anything else is a threat, in particular Lushun. Nasty guns!

One underrated thing with -42 is that its AP arms on DDs so you typically get massive chunks off of them. Sadly, doesn't have improved angles.

I really like your videos. You present good, accurate och interesting facts about ships and playstyle. Your analyzes and opinions feels for me mostly spot on. I would love to see you play and analyze Lüshun. I might think you would place it higher. Right played I think this ship can impact most games and turn tight games around. Great arcs, concealment and heal. With extra range on the guns, the arcs does that it's easier to land shells and not get hit that hard. With the "super"(?)heal you cen go dark if you need to heal up. You will get a lot of fires on ships and they will try to hit you and that saves other ships in the team. With right captain you get 20% reload buff if you get combat scout and then you can do real magic. Since I started to play it right (I think), I love it... @flamu

If I made a tier list it would be very similar to yours, however I'd make some small changes. I'd add another tier above S or make an E tier, whatever but definitely would put Smaland, Gdánsk and Kléber above the rest. The single reason is because, the other DDs at S are capable of either farming bigger ships or killing DDs but not exactly both with high performance. Marceau problem is the shell arcs, she is good in DD duels, even better than Kléber due to concealment but the shell arcs can make farming some ships harder, plus Kléber gets some good AP performance on cruisers and the torpedos have a very long reload time. Sherman is too slow and despite having the smoke/hydro gimmick, any good radar ship is going to displace her hard, I really like my Sherman but building for range is necessary and she hates getting pushed by cruisers and BBs. Finally Ragnar problems are her being clunky and lack of torps, which forces her to play kitting or dodging shots, being careful about incoming cruiser volleys, plus the concealment can allow some fast DDs that are already kitting to just avoid her completely, she is better in competitive but in randoms with more ships to shot at her it can be annoying to play her. Smaland DPM is ridiculous and despite having only 8 torps, these reload fast and are fast as heck, Kléber has better yolo potential, better torpedo power when getting chased by BBs/cruisers and that powerful AP and Gdánsk smoke+radar+DPM combo is really powerful no matter the circumstances. I'd also swap Alvaro and Regolo places, imo Alvaro when played well can just dominate the DD duels, yeah she has poor performance in every area but the burst is an easy 10-13k on an enemy DD, specially when broadside which actually cuts most DDs HP if she can pen when the burst is used correctly, ending DD duels early. On the other side Regolo biggest flaw is that DDs can actually angle to SAP and unlike Sherman, that really hurts Regolo SAP DPM, plus there is also the smoke, it's a double edged sword because it reloads fast but it sucks when you want to leave smoke to spot or avoid radar and you are still constantly emitting it at full speed (Unlike Vampire II which past 1/2 Engine power she can continue spotting)

It's way better than Gearing when it comes to guns, and it's better than Grozovoi and Harugumo too because it's not as clunky so it eats less damage and torps, and all you have to do to dumpster a Harugumo in a gunfight is just kite. Honestly I am not sure why he rates Harugumo so high, all it does is HE farm from smoke but then it blows up if anyone torps it's smoke.

Kleber is probably better in comp, you need massive firepower in a short amount of time for killing enemy DDS or even light cruisers and Kleb reload booster burst potential is still better than Marceau insane DPM. Also Kleber torps are much better for yolo purposes, you need to rush and kill someone? You can. Marceau torps are more versatile but lack that quick punch. Marceau I'd say is a fantastic farmer in randoms and super strong in ranked ofc, but overall Kleber is better for comp.

Shima is my guilty pleasure.

Bazan is an A if played right. Everything about it is ok. Nothing about it is actually bad. The torps and AP are above average, not amazing. The burst fire is what makes her powerful. Strong suprise damage to broadside cruisers, instant win in DD knife fight and setting fires on BBs quickly. If you don't play it around burst fire ambushes you're gimping yourself though. The access to burst fire makes it strong in ranked.

Yes please keep telling everyone Khaba is shit! People will believe you, and I love it when enemy DD just underestimates me and gets killed. But seriously, Khaba's biggest strength is that it is seen as crap. I've got frickin Hallands open up on me for no good reason at 7 km all the time (I guess they think their better gun DPM is going to win it), and they barely get a dent on me while they melt. The gun arcs are great with decent DPM, heal is great, and while in theory the 50 mm plate would be somewhat of a a trade-off, most enemies have no idea how to take advantage of it and I usually just end up taking way less damage than I should. The potential damage numbers I get with this ship are easily higher than on Kleber or Marceau, and it is noticeable in battle.

@@sozetsukokai9327 A boat is as good as the metagame allows it to be. If people like to start gunfights with you and lose, your perceived weakness makes your ship better. If the 50 mm plate makes your survivability better because people don't know how to deal with it, it is an upside. There are many ships that would be way worse if your enemies played perfectly, for example Slava works well only because all of the playerbase will never learn to not show broadside. Besides, I think the downsides of the Khaba plate are often heavily exaggerated. Most DD's don't have that much better AP damage over HE, and forcing them to use AP will lead to some overpens and bounces even if they choose their shells perfectly, so the plate is almost always an upside in DD fights, save for some exceptions like Elbing. Against BB's and superheavy cruisers, the plate is always an upside because their AP is hard coded to do overpen damage, but the plate can bounce shells occasionally. Cruisers are a bit trickier in the cases where they know how to hurt you, but angling properly will mitigate a lot of AP damage and make their shell choice hard (which also applies to playing agaist DD's), and I find I'm way more often mitigating damage by using the plate to my advantage than taking more damage. Some specific ships are again harder to deal with, like DM and Petro with their improved pen angles, and Hindenburg as it doesn't care about your plate when shooting HE and can do massive damage with AP when you can't angle enough. Mino kinda belongs to the pen angle group as well, but the plate doesn't really matter since Mino would full pen you even without it. Same goes for Venezia's SAP. The point is, like with many upsides, you have to use the plating right to take full advantage of it. Just ignoring it makes you take some unnecessary damage, but by using it right, you often come out on top.

I wanted to flame you for putting the khaba so low, then I saw on wows stats that the average damage for this ship is 56k. Like what? I have 111k average and I'm sure you could get a lot more out of it. But it seems for the average player this thing actually sucks.

Too many DDs are way too strong and should be nerfed. The problem is that the majority of them are much more powerful than the almost majority of cruisers.

Well bro i get wht u r saying but really it comes down to the player with dds...dds r really difficult to play mostly cause of the multiple tasks needed to be done in a limited time so too strong might be correct but player skill really just balances them out cause many players cant play them correctly or well enough i think

about halland in russian kots recently.almost killed a single BB but they still lost

Please apologize to nozoupforyou.

hahaha my man looks like wolverine 🤣🤣

Actually I have way more fun playing torpedo spammers over gunboats. Halland and Yueyang are my Tier X DD's of choice. Playing F.Sherman was the probably the most painful expirience in DD gameplay ever 😆 Under no circumstances would I put him on my S list.

again a personal rating for ship , khaba should be in tier A or B , everyone underestimate the khaba , its the best gunboat of the game , you can deal with absolutly all DD and BB , even cruiser . Khaba is an old ship and no one want play it because its not easy to play like a marceau or kleber when you only need to full speed and shoot or a shima who use the wall of skill. I dont understand why he put all the time ship that he dont like ( or he cant play well with it ) in C or D tier

Druid A xD

Klébstoff in the super category?! C'mon!!! Maybe in 60% unicum hands...occasionally! The ship depends very much on the team, cannot turn matches, cannot cap, nor torp so cannot deny freedem of movement of the enemy team really. U have to be spotted all match long by gunboating from safe distances. U rarely get to ambush DDs in real random battles. 5 minutes of constant gunning and hitting is worth of 2 shima torp hits of DMG! Being spotted from cruiser distances Klébstoff really just accupies the DD slot from the team, just like the FUK'd up german Felix. Speed is no longer a plus since everyone knows by now where to aim. The 7 secs reload is a joke, just like the AA. I always kill Klébstoff with my shima when confront, I use the 8km F3 torps. Shima guns are 6 sec reload and if Klébstoff is in cooldown he is screwed. And a nother thing: Klébstoff mostly farms enemy ships by burning and harrassing them, which can be healed back almost entirely, and you get Urself having 200k DMG dealt but no enemy killed. Which is not useful for the team! Sherman, Gdansk are a complete other league than FRA DDs. If U see the overall stats of the ship, U can see how mediocre it is.

Yep but he is that 60+% unicum...so thats why he has it in that list so high. For normal player its not so good.

Gearing is definitely B tier, those torps get the job done

I definitely don't agree with half of these choices and thier reasons
