How to Counter Torpedo Boats! (World of Warships Legends)

[@sunquestenergyhomesolution96]

How to counter a gun boat. Keep them spotted. A spotted destroyer is a dead destroyer.

[@SrZyrkon]

I've been using the Småland to hunt down torp dds. 5.4k detection, rapid fire guns, and 2 heals means that I can engage, destroy, go dark, and recover quickly. Gotta love it.

[@south_eagle1403]

I agree with you completely Spartan, a well played gunboat or radar cruiser can help turn the tide of a battle. I tend to play these two classes of ship as I can rely on myself to play the objective and help win. For that reason I tend not to play many games in battleships anymore since I cant rely on randoms to do their job and they end up dying before the halfway mark during the match.

[@baofc2609]

I swear this game has the WORST teams. Players either die doing nothing or runaway from the action leaving u 5-1 and dead😅

[@south_eagle1403]

@@baofc2609 100% right

[@MrOEFVeteran]

My favorite destroyer hunter is the Duca D'Aosta.... The sap is just nasty agaisnt everything. Fast reload. Deacent concealment at the tier. And its shifty. Plus, with uts long range torps, its freat for zoning and cutting off enemy DDs from their cruiser support

[@theww2enthusiast]

What i love about gun boats is the fact that they go brrrt

[@blastmasta75]

LOVE my gun boats. shredding an enemy torp boat while taking minimal damage is the best feeling

[@SpartanElite43]

Feels Good

[@kyleleuthe6367]

Damage taken during a match has no impact on service costs. When you press the play button you pay the full service cost of the ship whether you took 1% damage or 99% percent damage. Just a FYI for anyone who didn't know this.

[@SpartanElite43]

Im pretty sure they also have some dynamic service costs that do go up based on things like consumables etc So yes the base service cost gets charged as soon as you go into battle but it isn't always the same price

[@kyleleuthe6367]

@@SpartanElite43 the only service cost variable to my knowledge is a small cost for shell usage with no crossover to anything else. It's really hardly noticeable at all unless you're playing a spammy CA or maybe gunboat that puts multiple hundreds of rounds downrange per match.

[@SpartanElite43]

@@kyleleuthe6367 not sure I just know that service cost varies even if you're in the same ship

[@AtomicSneeze1]

@@SpartanElite43 nope, does not vary. it is the same regardless. that is directly from princeblip at wargamming

[@RepThomasBeach]

I honestly love these types of vids. Great advice and they make me a better player. I can't wait to jump in a gun boat and try this out. Thank you!

[@jacobbradford7229]

I have been using a different method to counter them so far. The Edinburgh with a six second rutter shift time. I torpedo beat a MAASS from 1.5 KM who fired all his torpedoes at once. Moments later, me and my team rained Hell-Fire down upon him.

[@SpartanElite43]

😄

[@tom45m1le]

My Edinburgh have 2.9 rudder and its not maxed yet , good choice

[@1navyguy423]

I've had this ship unlocked for a while now but just haven't bought it. I'll be getting it later today when I log on. Thanks for all the tips Spartan. I pretty much always search your videos on KZbin for tips and tricks before I buy a ship. If you say it isn't worth it i save the silver/gold and move on to something else.

[@tonepilot]

It’s not the over abundance of torp boats, it’s the over abundance of torps! Sometimes, half the map is just covered in torps.

[@ognscully5331]

[@IronsGiants]

Spartan I'm tellin' ya, try the Gadjah Mada for hunting DDs. Ding Ruchang gives you good reload speed, and the rear turret rotates 360 degrees, allowing you to change sides and get all 3 turrets on target quickly.

[@Anubis_F0X]

I'm gonna work towards this boat next

[@Sharkattack__]

Great vid spartan thx for playing Sumner! I love playing sumner and have pretty good stats in it. Murdering shimas is always fun😊

[@SpartanElite43]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@joelaw1191]

My favorite DD killer is Friesland! Great AA too

[@oOFoof-wo1vd]

My favorite dds to play have too be gunboats, the gameplay is much more engaging and interactive than launching torps and crossing your fingers that you guessed right, the best all around gunboat imo is the Kidd.

[@OLd_One-eyeguy]

The A-10 Warthog of the sea.

[@jaquigreenlees]

dakka dakka is good, I get compliments when I take a dd and go gunning for dds. oddly, one of my recent dd gunning battles I didn't sink any dds, damaged them but didn't get them sunk myself, I sunk the 2 bbs the other team had, gunning and torping them away.

[@unsealednardo9965]

Ive been using an oland. Its been fun.

[@auntyskoden924]

being some what of a teaboo a.m.summner is a little guilty pleasure.

[@ACErob-me9ss]

Yep I been here since game dropped in can't lie gun boats the one thing I'm the worst at cause I know nothing about them and there builds time to learn. Also happy Thanksgiving to all

[@michaelbodily734]

Sad to say it only works when your team actually helps

T4 USS Farragut is my favorite

[@mdabdale]

Would you consider playing non-meta ships as a series? The likes of the G-wagon

[@SpartanElite43]

I do play a little bit of everything and even have a wheel spin where I could end up in any ship from my tier 5 to legendary tier

[@danieldoherty5695]

Spartan for president 😂😊

[@animegamesmoviesandotherst3037]

Hey Spartan what are the Gun boats for each tier I do not have Tier 8 on DD, also could the Atlanta be used as one if needed?

[@franzfogens7804]

I prefer them. I lack patience to run away for 15 minutes. a bit of action helps playing dd's :)

[@zelofn9370]

Can you do a video with the best commenders on ships and inspiration pls ?

[@lurkingedge]

How does it it compare to the Kitakaze? Xarkun mentioned US gunboats in his Kitakaze vid. So, what about this Kaba and when can we expect a gameplay video including a vebal comparison to Kitakazi and Sumner? Also, how does the Gearing and Daring compare?

[@SpartanElite43]

Haven't used Kitakaze yet

[@stephenpaxman6180]

imagine if you could shoot torpedos before you get hit with them

[@jeremiasdrumond7457]

I don't run perceptive or twist&track cause I don't want anyone to know I'm around.

[@Scar_tisseu-86]

I always go for the torp turds first😂 no matter the ship type. To be honost the us heavy cruisers or the bb constalation, tirpitz b and the von spee realy do the trick, and give them a beat down they won't forget. Working now on my last t5 german bb the mackensen, but I don't like that one that much😅 the game I just played I felt lucky yo get a first blood and devastating strike with it, one Salvo and the nurnberg was annihilated with pure dumb luck. And then the north Carolina blasted me out of the water.😂😂😂

[@blmareterrorists]

Willy wonka reference!

[@pinkyskeleton5410]

How to counter DDs: Play cruiser. This playerbase: No.

[@SpartanElite43]

Every Cruiser player: let's burn the BBs

[@pinkyskeleton5410]

@SpartanElite43 ya I do agree. Anyone who plays cruiser seems to only kite and spam HE at BBs but at the same time, BB mains create this meta themselves. When you are the one or 2 cruisers in game always facing 5 BBs its not easy to always push in to counter DDs. The game is rock, paper, scissors. When you know you are going to be facing Rock 55 percent of the time it makes sense to que up to play paper instead of scissors. Seems like every match now is 5 BBs being chased by 4 DDs.

[@dkp2674]

Bruh I killed in a schimakaze an gering and Summner ce in range of 3 km lol

[@DeiversonSilveira]

So if you could make a video about armor, I never really understood how it works, if I can change the configuration or if this information is just informative, and I have more than 3 thousand battles and more than a thousand hours, but I never cared or noticed differences when I change those armor settings

[@SpartanElite43]

You can't modify armor but learning what your strengths and weaknesses are is key. Check out my playlists for "Path to" series' I have most battleships and cruisers done and go over armor, overmatching, angling etc

[@DeiversonSilveira]

@@SpartanElite43 Thank you for this information, I always found this part very confusing

[@gerwinspijker8119]

[@realFUGAR]

Spartan does heroic 3k base exp with ease

[@AtomicSneeze1]

Spartan, you stated that if you take less damage you spend less on maintenance. Thats not true. Maintenance is the same regardless of damage taken. It costs you the same amount every battle regardless if you get sunk or come back undamaged. Thats why it pisses me off to see people run for the boarder just to keep from getting sunk on a waffle stomp. All it does is drag out the game for no reason.

[@SpartanElite43]

The base service cost doesn't change but the service cost does go up depending on how your game goes

[@baofc2609]

I've never had a good destroyer in my team. I'm a battleship player (who isnt) but i got my t-61 out and played better than 50% of the destroyer I've ever played with. It isnt that hard, why do others just die within 2 minutes while taking out no destroyers????

[@Monte1970SS]

Kidd does this job the best. She uses extreme prejudice against other dd's lol.
