Time to be John Wick

Yes unfortunately Unless u r playing for fun in ranked, it's fine. Otherwise, in random battles are not a fun experience for her

As per above post, they used to be decent until it was completely power creeped. Even personally, I can't remember when was the last time I've touched IJN CA's. I wouldn't call it as a starter ship to play, nor I would recommend them to play it. The line just get slapped by everything and everyone else. (BB's love u due to high citadels (Thunderer, Conqueror HE 1 salvo 12K easy), Cruisers can out-dpm you if you try to do a fight head on (Henri, Venezia, hell even the Goliath out survives u due to super-heal), Even till to a point where a Kleber, Marceau can outright bully the ship if played correctly. Don't get me started on CV's Long story short. Do not touch the line, ever As for Yoshino, save your coal for something else. She's not even worth the coal

I taught Mino have SAP? What on earth are u smoking?

Serious note wise, Higher tiers are even worse than low tiers. Only way is for you not to get burnt down in 5-10 minutes is constantly pay attention to the minimap (where you placed urself, but of course don't stray too far away as you won't hit anything)

Literally my advice

Oh god, I'm so late to the party

Playing DD's in high tiers now is more "roll of a dice". You can have one monster game (dealing dmg, capping etc) to doing absolutely nothing (can't cap because radars, cv deny), torps missing because reasons. Solution: Is there even one? Probably not. If CV is determined to kill/deny you, he can and he will kill/deny you unless he is a donkey. Let's not forget about divisions who will deny your attempt to actually try. Only thing I can advice is look heavily at the mini map: Ship placements (how many radar ships are coming towards your side, etc) Your team placements(are they lemming one side or coming towards ur side) Planes movement (was it rocket, db, torpedo planes) Enemy dd movement(what type of dd are u facing, does he have better stealth than you, etc) Division movements. (Are they going towards your cap?) (List actually goes on) Playing DD as of now is purely on your experience in decision making (That's why you see at least 7 out of 10 DD players are horribly bad) I am only hoping that the announced air detect changes on the DD goes through as it will help slightly. (Unfortunately it's a slight nerf to Halland)

I'm back
