Never really cared much for the burst gimmick personally. Not going to say whether its objectively good or not, just not for me personally.

Normally I would agree. Most times the burst mode is a more or less useless gimmick as with most ships it is more a disadvantage after firing as an advantage. But in the Johnston it is something else. Here the best thing you can do is turn it on at the beginning of the match and then forget that it exists. Why? That's very easy. The reload time of the Johnston is 4,5s. The burst mode fires three salvos with 1,4s reload time. So that means for the normal firing mode: 3 * 4,5s = 13,5s And for the burst firing mode: 3 * 1,4s = 4,2s 4,2s + 9s = 13,2s So you overall reload time for the same amount of shells fired goes down by 0,3s. The pause is no problem at all, it is just the same with all DDs with a slower firing rate. But in this case it gives you a better DPM and a faster overall reload time. I have no idea what WG had taken when they invented that. It must have been good stuff. ;)

@captain_loeffel it's completely broken, which is great if you are the one pulling the trigger. For example I caught a Black at close range last night with 8.2k hp, he died in aboit 4 seconds with 14 sap pens poor bugger had no chance.

@@bigbloodaxe I think WG would say, "Works as designed."
