Siliwangi - Rarity Is A Strength

The Siliwangi is one of the rarest ships in high tier, for a good reason, on paper the HE DPM is depressing and nothing about the ship really stands out. However Pan Asian smokes combined with a Lo Yang hydro gives it some surprising flexibility, even if the damage output can be frustrating.

Man you know this ship is a rare bird when I forgot the actual stats on it while reviewing it, even though I just played it. That is however an advantage, ships that are played by few people are also harder to counter, as most people will be meeting it for the first time.

That RPF was so confusing. I thought it's the Mogami behind the island in the middle because otherwise it would've been spotted in the north. But then i realized the RPF was from the Izumo because it ended instantly when Izumo died at 16:40 … Izumo with RPF, not something you see all too often 😂😂

[@TheExecutorr]

yeah, my money was on the Mogami as well until I realized it had to be the Izumo since the Mogami was still alive and down in the south so he would still have spotted Flamu with RPF if it was him

[@livnick8354]

I was also believing it was the Mogami, till the Izumo died. Rather "interesting" captain spec.

[@tijmen131]

If he had rpf pointing to a close ship that isn't spotted, you know it's a dd. How in hell did he manage to still eat 5 torpedoes lol.

However, Mr. Siliwangi has chosen a very obvious piece of cover. A conveniently placed bit of smoke right in the middle of open waters. If we just put some torpedoes in the middle of it, maybe?? Well, we still got to see someone explode.

[@coralski9373]

Definitely agree, even when I'm in uncommon ships, players panic when I use that ship's gimmick.

Ships that dont need patience: CV

When bottom tier, you need to be patient playing as CV, till at least ships start to spread out and you can start working on individual targets. Not saying that CVs are balanced, but even they require patience.

Yes, it took a long time to land a single torp, but after only 3.5 minutes you already had 9 "Defends". That's a nice bit of XP by itself.

[@ringowunderlich2241]

DD is a class, where the players skill is more important, than the hard stats of the ship. Comparing DD's to each other is kinda pointless, since you pitch them against BB's. If you do your job right, meaning spotting first to provide intel for the team, contest caps at the right moment and then start picking juicy targets (sailing straight for a long time, parking behind islands) you can prevail even in a DD that is considered weak by it's stats. Priorities of course may shift if an opportunity opens. Sure you can have bad luck running into one of those silly gunboats and get gunned down instantly, but one should never think of it too much.

Rarity is a strength, really, and that’s exactly why I play ships such as the Kii and Ashitaka so much cause a lot of people don’t even know what they are and give all that broadside to punish.

[@icecrack4579]

(m a potato) they should not give broadside to anything.

[@seiken_8940]

Amadeo komnenus Also one of the best T8 credit earners alongside with the beer can if you have the Kobayashi Camo :)

[@seiken_8940]

THE BORED GAMER Agreed, it’s more of the characteristics of the Ashitaka, because of her really punchy guns and consistent accuracy, it’s easy to farm those citadels at max gun range just at the beginning of the match when everyone just starts to spread out toward both flanks. Not a lot of people expect to get citadeled at the start of the Mach, multiple times.

[@icecrack4579]

@@seiken_8940 So the ship has good vertical dispersion?

[@seiken_8940]

THE BORED GAMER Well not as good as Slava, but at least from my experience it’s pretty good. You occasionally get those few stray shells going nowhere, but other than that they concentrate pretty well along a horizontal axis.

This was rare? I got one quite some time ago randomly. Dont recall how, just was in my port one day. Its a tier 8 free premium so I kept it. Didnt even want it or knew it existed before I got it. I dont really like or dislike it, thats mostly cause Im really not good with dds. Not my prefered ships, 98% the time I use CC / BB. No matter the DD I try using, I always just end up doing suicidal charges at the enemy n dumping torps at point blank range. Got a pommern to, really like that one. I guess somethin happened between this video and when I got those 2 premiums, cause I just figured everyone got em.
