Once during a game, some player was yelling at me to use my smoke and complaining about if I put down smoke, he wouldn’t die. Once I killed the people around me, I told him French destroyers don’t have smoke and called him a dim Witt for not actually taking the time to study these new ships.

What's your opinion of IFHE for the FR DDs? Aside from that, I actually like them a lot, I currently have Jag, Guepard, and Vaquelin, and I like the last two, and I'm definitely planning on Grinding to Le Fantasque. There have been many times where I have had to say the illustrious motto of the French DDs, "I have no idea how I survived that, but I'll take it." None of the games I have had in the FR DDs have been boring in the slightest, until I decided to knife fight. Nothing more boring than spectating when your ship is at the bottom of the ocean.

[@Blackskies64]

[@notmenotme614]

French DD are good for hit and run ambushes. Hide amongst the islands and then run in for a torpedo attack. But don’t sit there and slug it out as they’re a bit of a glass cannon.

[@WorldofWarshipsOfficialChannel]

Don't forget about their powerful guns, you will usually be able to win engagements against enemy DDs!

[@machinist8492]

Out of the DDs I've played the Benson anf Fletcher are still the best

[@hond654]

Skip up to T6 is the best advise. These boats are actually pretty slow at low tiers and the rudder shift, turning circle is just average. Once you are focused then hard to dodge when they shoot back. Guns are good but the turret traverse is just slightly better than japanese...

So far the matches with these on my team have been bad! Basically have them sitting back behind islands, No spotting, No capturing,No smoke makes them pretty crap in my opinion, Will have to wait and see. Maybe those who have these ships are still working out how to play it.

[@hansheden]

Thing is that they can't be played as a regular DD so the team will have to stop demanding that kind of behavior from them.

[@rorybyrne86]

Build them for concealment, so it's easier to get into advantageous positions quickly. Like other French ships they should be used as a flanker, but a concealment build means you can use the fast torp reload for very effective area denial from stealth.

[@TheSupreme117]

cool any advice on how to counter them .... all i heard was "these new ships are good at killing cruisers battleships and hunting down destroyers" guess im gonna need to do some testing with daring or shes quickly going to be sold from my port.

add smoke, so we can hide like every other dd, eve, the shira 2nd line of IJN gets a choice between rapid torps or smoke. Here there is no choice, As they count as DD's people have to rely on them to Cap bases with smoke, but without smoke its useless. Sure its fast from T8 in fact so fast that you will cap the flag 8 times out of 10 before an enemy gets close, as ive been @ 55knots in a Le Fantasque, it just doesnt excel at anything. If you want Light cruiser Pick a light cruiser, If u want a dd, u got the gunboat or Torp variety, basically everyone will grind it, then never use it, as its useless as most russian ships with paper thin armour. I at 1st got the T7 vaquelin, didnt think id get anything higher so used my coins on camo, then got the T8 Le Fantasque, now dont expect the T9 Mogador, so spent the next lot of coins on camo again, you cant even Buy boxes to top up your credits balance, like you did with the WAY OP T9 Benham, which i got also. But screw Boxes for winning a task, give me coins. Dont need 50k credits and a few flags, when u got RANKED AND CLAN WARS Running at the exact same time.

[@hansheden]

They will not be easy to play. Mostly because most people don't know about the limitations and will demand that the french DDs will preform the same dutys as any other DD.
