Destroyer Álvaro de Bazán Review Tier X Spanish Destoyer, the burst fire DD,

[@oneangrycanadian6205]

I got this for free along with the hayate. I like this ship a lot. Have fun with it. Hayate don’t play much

[@RIPPERDD]

Thank you!

Good vid. Another ship I picked up because I had the coal and the other ships I wanted, but haven't even played on game in it. But, it's a completely "meh" ship. It's about middle of the pack in every way; it's not bad, it's just not good. It's guns just lack accuracy to make it special like Elbing, lack the dpm of Kleber, lack punch of Kleber, too. I think a buff is in order here.

[@RIPPERDD]

ikr! i think the guns are mediocre, the burst fire is the gimmick, Thank you!

[@deaninchina01]

Don’t forget you got a bonus to dispersion with burst fire with the last buff. There is no penalty to DPM for using burst either. It didn’t seem like you used the burst nearly enough and lurked out at the edge of the map too much where you could not spam torps or have multiple targets. This ship is by far the best late game cleanup ship in the game. Prints krakens. Torps are insanely good spam on cool-down torps, long range with some of the shortest reaction time torps in the game. Lost count of the number of DDs hit with these fantastic fish. I swapped out RPF for the range skill. It’s one of the few DDs I don’t run RPF.

[@RIPPERDD]

oh yeah that's right, i think that's what flamu said was a bug if you switch back and forth to increase your buff temporarily, Thank you!

[@gblowe62]

Long range is a game changer.

[@RIPPERDD]

yeah i'll get it Thank you!

[@ArmorPiercing11]

I was trying to decide between this or Black. I’m probably gonna go Black and get this after.

[@RIPPERDD]

yeah black is way better

[@crossbow_v3nom]

Would love to see ripper revisite the Elbing in randoms

[@RIPPERDD]

ok wilco!

[@crossbow_v3nom]

@@RIPPERDD would be 🔥 love the Elbing but it’s difficult to play, becaus dd has a little identity crisis, plays like a small cruiser becaus every gunboat dd will smoke it, but it’s marked in the dd line🤷

[@crossbow_v3nom]

@@RIPPERDD can you do a review on the z52 aswel in randoms?? Wanne see if it’s still good in 2024 grinding the line my self right now for research points but would be legend if you do a review

[@gblowe62]

Your playing it like a traditional destroyer. My best game in her was 190k+. I got on the flanks of back row battleships and farmed 4 kills. Torping the flanks and setting permanent fires, while providing spoting for the team is her niche. Try playing it like a Khabba or Kleber...

[@RIPPERDD]

ah ok i will, need the range

[@simongodfrey3765]

It looked to me like the shells are slow - even a battleship could dodge a long range salvo

[@RIPPERDD]

yeah all about aiming, Thank you!

[@robertshaver4432]

Yep was considering it but It looks bland/nothing-special. thanks for the confirmation!

[@RIPPERDD]

Thank you!

[@pauloakwood9208]

Very difficult ship to play well. I am not a fan.

[@RIPPERDD]

Yeah something about it just doesn’t feel right

[@mletrout7942]

This boat disappointed me. There are too many much better, and more enjoyable, options at tier ten.

[@RIPPERDD]

Thank you!
