Kitakaze will be Nerfed, At last!

[Adorable_Arona]

Finally, Kitakaze will be batted.

Also Harugumo will be back as a viable T10 now, somewhat.

Thoughts?

Good because that would be one less effective HE spammer infesting the high tier games. Bad because Kitakaze players would be less motivated to contest the cap, or countering enemy DD (especially if the concealment nerf would be more than what they said).

Harugumo would be good until a BB shoots HE at it,;namely Thunderer, Conqueror, or my Alsace Harugumo would still turn like a bus anyway..

I don't have a kitakaze.

[Thyaliad]

Players: Did you nerf her?

WG: Kitakaze ... is out of the way.

Players: Congratulations WG! With Kitakaze removed -

WG: Time will tell. Sooner or later ... time will tell.

Well just tell me, for fairness sake , where is a working viable tech tree DD that can consistently effectively efficiently do their damage dealing at these tiers with equal ease as Cruiser CV BB of the same tier .... Do not talk to me about DD suppose to do that or that , the game do not reward and the game penalize them for going out and doing that ..

So Kita is nerfed cause it's remain viable , tell Udaloy players about it , WG's sin is making almost all tech tree DD irrelevant and instead of making the class relevant and viable they want to made one of the few remaining relevant and viable one irrelevant 

No it will not stop the HE Spamming, in fact it promotes it. Cause no longer having stealth and not really speedy more Kita player will be driven to go range HE spamming . It at least brings in the much needed damage dealing. Do not bother even to mention all those so call DD play needed, for the risk and danger and lack of return it's not worth it. 

And you guys are right that fewer chance Kita will go out and contest a cap , it's high workload, high skill demand, highly dangerous, and low return , especially when such are usually not accompanied by close support from team . A living Kita is better than a brave dead Kita.

You should not fear one , Kita is able to fight on equal term against peers of the tier and that include fighting BB, CA CL but it had its limitation too. Play DD against it is a match between plays, not spec. And it's still just a DD . All DD player should know as of today on high tier or even mid tier games DD's priority is survival and that mean not getting into un willed brawl, skirmish, or so. And that apply to Kita and all the other DD. And as for all the BB and cruisers, I shall give them this ... when they themselves do not battle line, group and formation with their own light force CL and DD they open themselves to enemy light force, an invitation. So they really had no rights to complain. If ever they actually formation they would find that mutual support the best defence against any threat but today how often do you see them doing that for real in a fight. No they would only formation and group when already tactical superiority well established, usually at the cost of the team's light force. Wager why DD CL of all tree are ever less present today.
