A SE equipped Z-52 is at a significant advantage over one that is not. These factors impact how I approach each match like none other. I think one would be foolish to not run it on the Z-46 or Z-52 though.įor example.when in the Z-52, the primary things I look for at the start of each match is radar ships, CV's, and other Z-52's. It's a strong skill.although one could argue that other skills might be more beneficial if one does not intend to play the ship as the cap monster that it can be. The key importance of SE is to be able to win HP trades. It is not a reflection of the viability of SE. The survival rates for KM DD's reflects the inherent dangers in their greatest strength. Accordingly, SE is a vitally important skill for any capper to take. In fact, the ability to dominate DD caps increases proportionally with each tier culminating in the Z-52's dominance. But, that's another subject entirely) are jack-of-all-trades boats. She'll probably get a hydro, so will be good at capping.Įvery mid tier and up KM DD (with perhaps the exception of the Gaede and Z-23, but not really if you play them correctly. Looks quite balanced to me, not OP by any stretch of imagination. She has awful German smoke and she can be chased down by a Furutaka with speed flag. But then she really needs it, because she can't compare to Farragut in dpm, only if you get a broadside target that you can shoot AP at. So, it has some good points like god-tier concealment and torp reload. She will also have torpedo DPM 10k lower than Shinonome and 20k lower than Fubuki, but better than Hatsuharu, a ship that certainly needs a lot of love from WG

Also probably the standard awful German fire chance of 6% for this caliber so with DE it will have the same fire chance as Gnevny without DE 22.5k lower HE dpm than Leberech Maass, so your argument of "T7 firepower" is invalid 1k lower HE dpm compared to Gnevny, but awful arcs so actual dpm will be significantly less Crap turret traverse, HE alpha and shell velocity She's fat and will eat a lot of full AP pens Assuming it doesn't change in stats, I'll be buying this monster! It has Tier 8 levels of concealment, Tier 7 gun reload, Tier 9/10 torpedo reload built in without commander skills as is. So unless something changes dramatically with the upcoming Tier 6 Premium Ship T-61, I see this being an absolute super ship more than capable of handling a Tier 8 uptier.
