How to be a better Destroyer player in World of Warships Legends

[@wire_chaser1694]

I love when you have the reds spotted and keep pinging the cruiser thats coming down the lane but your team decides to focus on the BB in the distance. If you have a dd on your side, you eliminate the radar\sonar threat to your dd so they can do their job more efficiently.

[@whereruaaron]

Yup, then complain about the spam and DDs...gotta love it

[@G19Jeeper]

Yep, they will literally shoot over top of a radar cruiser to hit an angled battleship in the back of the map. Gotta love it

[@camerondawnpeterson5100]

Love the game I hate the people that play it. So many people are only out for themselves and the only time they shoot is when they see that you've gotten an enemies health down to like 10% HP and they'll shoot from across the map and completely avoid the enemies directly in front of them to steal the kill, or my favorite you'll have an enemy dying by flood damage and is about to die and then of course your teammate wastes a shot to steal the kill instead of once again dealing with their own enemy that's in their face.

[@MrBillUp]

Really appreciate this video Aaron. I'm really struggling against other destroyers at the moment, especially in my Smaland, and the Pan European destroyers in general. I always seem to get outgunned. And nearly every battle I enter atm has 4 destroyers on each side, so no rest bite. I really want to get better. 👍👍

[@somebloke3869]

Try not to outrun your support. The best way to win a gunfight against another DD is to have teammates help you. If your support is more than 10km away they are unlikely to score hits on the DD you have spotted.

[@HMAlaska]

It’s ridiculous how many people claim you aren’t doing enough when you’re one of the few doing anything at all.

[@whereruaaron]

To be fair others have but not at the same frequency. The unfortunate truth is these videos tend to get less views and are often not viewed by the people that need the lessons explained in them.

[@whereruaaron]

Eh it wasn't but 2 caps, 2 dead shims 3K XP...I don't think anyone is complaining. Thanks brudda

[@camrsr5463]

My DD play was really bad 2 years ago. I think I am doing much better these days. practice helps. setting smoke and spotting for you team is very important. getting into caps is the most important. I know sometimes it looks as if a DD is throwing themselves away but I can tell you form experiance that it can all go wrong very quickly from some unexpected stuff like Radar, sonar, plane spot, or just a better DD spotting you first or out DPMing you (fetcher Akizuki or the French DDs.. As long as you trade a DD for a DD then you have done something right.

[@whereruaaron]

Very good points, definitely trying to trade and making sure to get those capture points and spots is key

[@Scoupe400]

I thought this was informative as a new player. I liked the stop to question the map point, what to not do.

[@sapphire163]

Great video. I've been playing about a month. With destroyers, I get too tempted to go for caps early. I need to be more patient, get a few early detects, and get out. Something I haven't seen in "how to" videos, is what to do when both sides have a lot of ships eliminated. I've won a few games as the last ship (destroyer), against 1 or 2 bigger ships. I move around the map at full speed getting caps, move away from other ships (DON'T SHOOT AT THEM) and win on points.

[@ghats883]

Great video! I like these videos just so I can better myself. I’ve mostly become a cruiser player but here lately I’m trying to play DD’s more

[@lindsoalbrown4609]

I have been playing this since launch and almost never play dd, after watching this video i play dd way more often and almost never lose with them..thank u!

[@whereruaaron]

Love to hear that

[@beautiful_muse]

Gg and this is so sorely needed right night. Taking out a BB has been nightmarish lately with the blue DD play. Thank you.

[@lonniebeal6032]

I'm new, I don't even know how you got that other ships screen. It takes forever to build up a boat, it'd be nice to know which items to pick first for Commander skills.

[@asmodeusasmodeus7591]

New to wow, and recently began playing "Random Battles". Dang! I like the speed and maneuverability of the destroyers but keep getting killed in the first few minutes, usually by other destroyers. I drive a tier III G-101. Any tips? Thanks for the channel.

[@slugo915]

Also it being on gamepass there's always gonna be new players coming into games not knowing anything. They just jump to next ship higher when they can and that's a huge mistake I made 4 years ago. Save the camouflage and blue n green xp for later. So many also leave the flank and what I call, go have a circle jer..k just happened to myself playing the Pensacola I had to retreat back right away as I was almost 1 shot killed as they came after me. Luckily I had a destroyer come to my rescue. So frustrating at times. As long as your gun is still up keep spamming the hit points to help the team even if you know your gonna die. I miss the good ol days playing WOT on the 360, everyone talked and communicated and made game so much more fun.

@@whereruaaron that's awesome, they seem more complex and nuanced than both DD and BB, to a meathead like me anyway.

[@cheese5719]

That Shima had some crazy low concealment

[@wastelander89]

I have to learn to be more patient and not rush Into caps and be more careful i have it in my head that i have to rush in to spot enemiesand that gets me killed somtimes.specially when going into caps as a dd I should back in and not sit broadside so torps have less of a chance to hit me .and so I can escape the cap faster by backing into it.

[@jakecrulcich1049]

Great Vid! I tend to get a little too aggressive in gunboats, working on bailing out sooner. With recent shimapacolypse, what would your advice be if you get ganged up on by mutliple dd's? Thanks!

[@whereruaaron]

Honestly there's not a one size fits all approach, try to separate from your teammates and always turn "into" torps or the last known of DDs (meaning don't be broadside in your smoke)

[@gregcavender7798]

I know what kind of teammate I have when he pops his sub detection in the spawn point. Good advice all the way around

The games iv been having in the last week makes me feel like the people that should be watching this video aren't seeing it, the best record this week been 3 dd's on my team dead before 2 mins in the game leaving my "team" at the mercy of 3 shimas, iv been playing for well over 3 years now and I still feel like there's a functional problem somewhere in the matrix with how dd's are implemented, I'm not saying change it because I can't think of a better way but I'd definitely like to be part of a debate about it if there was one.

Hello sir. I recently got the Ostergotland and have been struggling with it. This is surprising since I used to do so well in the Skane. Any tips, especially on how to deal with CVs?

CVs can be really difficult to deal with unfortunately...I will try to do a video on them

[@literallyjustthings9227]

Thanks man

[@TheLoops73]

I mark every radar cruiser I see..battleship commanders always ignore it so they can shoot at a bb that's 20 km away..this infuriates me as a dd main.

[@joelmaust1691]

Tip for DDs is sit just inside radar range so you know when they use it, but are still able to escape. IE 11.5/6 for Russians.

[@whereruaaron]

That is a great tip as well but more on the "advanced" side of things. Especially when DD players don't even know the basics its harder to push those advanced tactics

@@whereruaaron they are impossible to stop with a slow battleship. 3km is so unrealistic in game dimensions. There are not enough countermeasures to stop them, also in reality it would take between 15-45 minutes for dad to reload torpedos not every 60-90 seconds. Have you ever seen a dd carry 50 + torpedo. What’s the point of a spotter or a tall battleship of it can see anything. It ruins the game. People defend dd all the time. Also too many islands. No ship would be able to be so close to a island in real life and not be seen
