even with dd support it's really hard to deal with cause it's tied for best concealment in the game, other than subs. it's also pretty fast, so it's hard to catch them. when you try to chase them you get torped.
@JohnsRandomVids_US21 күн бұрын
Another thing about the Jager a lot of people don't think about is the psychological impact. If you're on a flank where you can out spot everyone else, most players run from it. Even DD players tend to be weary of chasing it down. When I play mine, sometimes I'll let myself be lit briefly on purpose so the enemy team knows a Jager is on their flank. 9 times out of 10, they'll immediately turn around and start running. A risky strategy but it works pretty often. This allows me to map control, or cap control more like, without even using torps. It's truly a menace to deal with if left alone to run amock against your team. A definite high priority kill, in my opinion.

This is my favorite ship in the game. I love the stealthy play style and I feel that the Jager is more consistent than other torp DDs because it can spam much more reliable low damage torps and getblots of hits rather than relying on high damage, but slow reload and easy to dodge torps. This ship has farmed me SO many credits and free xp.

Hey Potato: get the Halland research mod. 42.3 knots in a Halland is incredible, it accelerates like a UK ship and at those speeds it's not rudder lethargic. You also basically get a super heal, it fits in slot 6 so you don't lose its low detect, you lose the slot 6 torp reload BUT you also get an additional consumable SOOO I take the commander torp reload instead of superintendent and thereby only lose 5% torp reload for the above attributes. SOOO worth the trade! I don't need 5 super heals nor do I need five (still 2-minute duration) super engine boosts. Not only does it heal more but I've yet to take "any" un-healable damage. Halland "reprints itself" with this mod. If you don't have this for your Halland you are missing out Big time!
@lucidnonsense94221 күн бұрын
Not worth the dpm loss. You always run torp reload skill on Haland cpts anyway, so it's a very "meh" mod. If you got all the RB ships you want AND all the better RB mods, sure - why not? But it's a side grade at best.

@@lucidnonsense942 Halland and other ships in the line are my most played ships, and the line is really not one that relies on torpedo dpm at all, so I barely notice the loss. It allows you to play a LOT more aggressively even against radars, makes it much easier to win vs meta gunboat DDs, and a lot less risky lighting perma fires after someone damage controls torp flooding.

From my experience blaying BB's, the dpm of the torps does not matter. What matters is that there are torps in the water in general. You just don't want to get hit by torps, period. So the more often torps are launched, the more demoralized I feel.

I am a regular jäger player, this ship is not for DPM or kills. It is a map control and spotting king. If i can’t get in the cap, i can keep the enemy team off it, especially if they dont have any RPF. The sheer volume of torps keeps most opponents waiting outside caps, or slow rolling. And of course, you are keeping them all spotted for your team. If you get a surprise dd around a corner, your fast torpedoes can easily kill them before they can gun you down. Not unbeatable though, if your team is full of potatoes you are gonna be frustrated.

I think you misunderstand Jäger. I have over 1100 games in it. It gets very little damage from floods. It has the lowest flood chance per torpedo of any at T8+ (119%). The vast majority of my damage is alpha. The key to doing well in Jäger is first speed, 95knots is critical, then understanding the shots she can make and stacking or spreading your torps optimally.

6:27 That is an element of DDs vs anything that doesn't out spot them or have radar. A cruiser would have been just as screwed and had just as few options because it still has to get stupidly close to you while in open water and you'd basically have to LET them do that. I know this isn't a popular take, but more ships need radar. Just the same as more ships need sub surveillance, more ships and lines could really do with having radar. Even short range radars could make a huge difference. Imagine if that Izumo had a 40 second 9km radar. You would have had to play from much farther back to remain safe from the potential radar, and that would have lead to you being far less oppressive. Sure that might put the American CLs out of a job, but lets be real, they could really use having their radar range nerf undone because 9km is really just not enough range for a radar on a Cruiser at T9/10/11. Cleveland can keep her 9km radar though, it's basically a stealth radar already. Or alternatively they could give all the American CLs the ability to stealth radar with their 9km radars. That would be just as good.
