or was my Des Moines shooting blanks? (like me) HE 2590/72 = 36 damage per shot AP 6675/51 = 130 damage per shot

If you get torped by an Aoba, Myoko, Zao it's your own fault - everyone, especially IJN DDs, know not to get between one of them and the enemy (strangely Mogami and Ibuki aren't so bad)

I've noticed there is a very strong correlation between the number of planes shot down and XP.

I just played a game in my Cleveland. In the old days I could get 50 planes, but this game after being continually targeted by the CV and eventually dying from torpedo bombers I got 5 plane kills. Sad

It's never occured to you that there are things happening that you are unaware of, such as radar ships keeping them out of caps, another DD that keeps spotting them, a CA with radio location that turns to chase them whenever they approach, a wall of torpedos that forces them to turn away.

But it's just how far too many BBs think. It's alway DDs that get criticised in chat for not doing what everyone else thinks they should be doing and mostly they're responding to things the other ships aren't aware of. I just had a game where 3 BBs wouldn't push out the 1 CA blocking the cap because they were shooting at something on the other side of the map but it was my fault for not capping. Got my revenge the next game with 3 T10 BB kills.

Either give a massive buff to older T8 and T9 BBs or keep us out of T10 games. Try playing an Iowa these days.

She's more than welcome on the HMAS Perth, as best mate, coxswain or something like that.

So I'm the only DD being shouted at by everyone noob DD! cap! cap! cap! Great idea, how come I didn't think of that? You didn't notice my 10% health? You didn't notice me approaching the caps but then turning away? You didn't notice me trying to flank to get my 12km torps on to CAs behind the islands? So now I'm playing my Derpitz and shredding Cleverlands by the dozen.

Having played over 1000 games in old Cleverland it saddens me to see what's happening - but now I have a radar ship, I can hide behind islands until our DDs are dead and then get killed by the unstoppable BBs capping.

Having played over 1000 games in old Cleverland it saddens me to see all the new ones hiding behind islands and spamming.

Me? DD players don't have time to get into long discussions in chat.
