Dear Spartan, if you haven't read I could offer from Herman Wouk: The Caine mutiny court-martial novel from 1951. It plays on an american destroyer/mine seeker in the WWII. At least the first part of the novel. It shows how was the duty for the crew for months out there on the endless open water. When the whole body of the ship and the steel walls radiate the heat all day long and you can't escape from it, the sudden japanese planeattacks from the dazzling sunring, etc. I read it when I was around 18 but I still remember a lot of things. Just give a try...

Hey Spartan, I'd really like to see a video where you go over all of the tier 6 american destroyers, and give your recommendation on which one you think are the best. Awesome video by the way!

LOL, I got a clear sky medal the other day in the first 5 minutes in a Le Fantasque! Parseval (In a Starscream skin no less) spotted me right away, and to his credit, he kept me lit up and prevented me from capping because I was torp dodging and trying to avoid his team’s support fire. He finally left me alone after I medaled, but while he was focused on me, my team pushed and we won. He was the last to die. FWIW, French WWII destroyers are pretty decent at shooting down F-15s apparently.

It has more AA, but, yeah, it's a Benson. I suppose if you didn't have a USN T6 DD and were looking for one, this one might get the nod if you really like torpedoes that have warheads bigger than a cherry bomb and don't care about heals. Otherwise, it's a bit of an also-ran.

I must have missed it, but the Monaghan has pretty good AA guns. Shot down 25 planes and got a medal for it. It may have also just been down to the fact that the carrier player was not as good at the game, or solely RNG. I can safely say, I do not think I will be able to replicate a game like I had in the Monaghan.. P.S. I love your videos Spartan, hopefully one day I'll be lucky enough to get Dev. Struck by you in game lol

Hi Spartan, T6 destroyers start to get interesting for me because they now have the upgrade that I find hard to decide which to choose and that’s the RGA upgrade that helps my team because it helps spotting or should I choose the concealment upgrade to help me hide and ambush. I hate destroyer players who don’t do their job and I don’t want to be the guy who would do the same. This is hard for me because I suck at destroyers and is more than a complete potato when playing destroyers. So videos like these are very helpful.
@SpartanElite433 жыл бұрын
RGA only helps when proxy detecting enemy in smoke or behind hard cover. So concealment is likely your best bet

@@SpartanElite43 thanx for the prompt reply. Ever since I started playing this game, I’ve always been playing battleships. Up to now I only play destroyers if I have to (e.g. bureau tasks). Anyhow, most of my strategy has been influenced by what I’ve learned from your videos so I wish there was a way other than leaving comments on your videos where I could pick your brain. More power to you!!

Hey Saprtan. Unrelated to this particular vid, but I just surpassed 750K global XP. I started this game to get the Alabama (because I have been on that ship many times), but after watching your review of the Massachusetts, I wonder if the Alabama is the best option. What are your thoughts for buying your first "Free XP" ship? What are your top three options? If anyone else reads this, what do you guys think? I don't want to have buyers regret!!!

5th (!)

I see those 150k GXP, so, after some time what do you think of Stalingrad ? People say you're bias but American ships are the best in design for me too, not all of course
