You Need to get this Ship | Groningen & Friesland

Gunboat Destroyers are some of the most powerful ships in the game, also some of the most difficult to play. Learning the playstyle is difficult and often easier to rely on stealth/torpedoes that most DD's have. Friesland/Groningen is different, it forces you to learn the playstyle with a great set of tools to make playing the ship relatively comfortable even though it doesn't have torpedoes.

[@NotTheRookie]

Groningen has the advantage on starting fires because of the Special Dutch commanders improved Demo Expert skill (whatever it's called nowadays). It's only an extra 0.5% but with the volume of shells you put out it's a significant DPM bonus.

[@matthewmcconaughey2012]

but u also have the improved AR with pan eu commander

[@CCM1199]

@@matthewmcconaughey2012 You have Improved DE with a special Pan Asian Commander. I got that commander when I got the Irian.

[@mcgee9777]

It's really down to +0.5% fire chance or +0.05% AR boost. Overall at 50% hp Friesland will have a .25% faster reload than gron at 50% hp, all in all its up to the player. I'd take either but since I have groningen and not Friesland I don't really have a choice in the matter lol. Both improved skills are incredible for the ship's in different ways and to me are equally as useful.

[@uwuthanizeme5462]

Dont forget to mention that both turrets can rotate 360 degrees. This is extremely valuable as it allows you to react to anything that suddenly shows up, no matter what side of your ship they appear on.

[@alexh8402]

I bought mine because I love gun boats like the Russian DDs use to be and love it. I went with the long range and gun reload build and got the reload down to 1.7 seconds and range of 17 and half kilometers. I average 100k damage per round easily and use it as a free XP ship to grind some tier 9 lines. Love the ship so far and great money making ship too!

I recommend using Klaas Janssen as captain because Pyrotechnician skill has +1.5% fire chance. (It was free from mission but you can get in the armory)

[@robertshaver4432]

Dude thank you for that: I've got him in my reserve and didn't realize it lol. Been dreading bringing up a new commander for Groningen (when I get it). A 10 point commander is the beginnings of a commander being adequate. I get about 1/3rd of my caused damage via fires: didn't know he added a 1.5% fire chance: now I'm jazzed! Thank You! BTW: Pan Euro Jerzy Swirsky is also a beneficial (worth it) commander for his 25% increase in Adrenalin rush as well as his other attributes. 0.05 is indeed 25% of .20 I don't think people see that when they see the "seemingly puny" 0.05% increase number. Cheers!

[@DeteCT0R]

@@robertshaver4432 I dont recommend Jerzy Ṡwirski for non torp boat. If you put on Friesland you are wasting the best skill for the captain which is the torp reload. Jerzy Ṡwirski the best in the Halland because Halland has torps and good AA so you can use all of her unique skills. The enhanced Adrenaline Rush and the Torpedo Armament Expert is the best combo for Halland because of the fast reloading torps getting more faster so you can spam every 50 sec almost. I totally forgote Jerzy is also good for Smaland. Smaland has gun dpm so enhanced Adrenaline rush can help it. And also has torps.

@@Julian-gj8si Its works well im not saying its bad for thoose ships for use Jerzy but you still get the more if you have torps on your boat.

Ragnar has lover DPM but has bigger gun for compensation. Other then free feel to use everyone where want its their captain not mine.

[@dany1441]

I'm a cruiser main and so I got Agir with FXP a few weeks ago. My next FXP ship will be Groningen. I don't really like the idea of a DD with no torps, but in Marceau I don't use them all that much, so it should be fine. ;) When I was little we had a Friesland class destroyer in Amsterdam, at the Maritime History Museum. It may well have been the ship that first sparked my interest in all things Navy.

[@tobiastime4066]

I'd say you should switch the gun reload upgrades for concealment and super intendent. That's at least how I find the most succes in the Groningen!😊

[@deeznoots6241]

Sounds boring, MORE DAKKA

[@kevin9795]

I just got the Groningen after watching this video from a Santa Container. Big thanks Potato Quality! I learned how to play this ship even before using it. Now I just broke my account record, 3k base exp and 135k damage dealt on the first game with only a 10 pt commander. This thing is ridiculously strong and fun to play!

[@treeherder42]

Just gonna note while EU dds and groningen are essentially no fly zones for CVs you still need to play smart, going to use halland as an example but all the t9/10 dds in that tree/groningen are essentially the same in this. I've seen hallands with AA permanently on - you get spotted and die, long range AA is not as scary as close up. Hallands with AA off who don't switch it on - well this is how I kill hallands in lexington. Enough said there, its like a yammy refusing to snipe, it's one of your strengths and needs proper use. Those who pop DFAA with planes at max range - your AA goes red when you do, any CV with a brain turns round or recalls and you wasted that AA. Those who make AA traps - these guys are the ones you want to be, no AA until spotted (about 2.5k iirc, in year range anyway) , DFAA when you know planes have a good amount of time before they can escape, basically when spotted activate AA and hit DFAA, when they pass activate priority sector - using that order makes your instant AA damage from priority get the DFAA boost and maximises the time planes spend in your AA aura. You still want to avoid CVs where possible, but can be a damn menace to them when needed.

[@ashleighelizabeth5916]

I just picked up Groningen a short while ago. Haven't even fitted it out properly yet so I haven't played many matches in it. But I can see that this might be a playstyle that I could really enjoy...

[@billwalker9509]

With the dpm of these DDs, I wouldn't think the slight delay in switching shell types would be a concern. If it really is, hit the 2 key once and your next Salvo is AP without missing a beat. Also, what are your thoughts about taking Survivability Expert in light of recent information on its effect on saturation?

[@Gundolf300]

In tier 7mm ,yes this ship is pretty annoying to deal with. However in tier 9-10mm it's pretty much a moving target practice. Shell speed i hilariously bad, hp pool, concealment, maneuverability and survivability over all also pretty much a joke. It has amazing reload but you can basically only utilize it IF you are in cover, have spotting and people push in to you. If spotting dd:s suicide or enemy team just doesn't push in (which to be fair, really is the more common meta of the game today) Friesland is a pure migraine to play. Honestly I've had more success play gunboating with the Swedish line the Friesland which allways have been and probably allways will be a gimmick ship. If the match plays in the favor of that gimmick well, fine. Mostly it doesn't.

[@aoberry8814]

One thing I like to do with friesland is max out the smoke and hydro. You get to crawl for 50sec.

[@Panocek]

Primary reason I won't get Grony anytime soon - I don't have any NL captain nor I have any interest in grinding NL cruisers. Friesland/Smaland are sadly missed opportunity to get them.

[@tobiastime4066]

I grinded out the free xp as a free to play player! Took a long while, but this ship was worth it!😊

[@ashleighelizabeth5916]

If I'm just playing at a regular pace without really piling on the flags (maybe just running an FXP camo and a Papa Papa flag mostly) it takes me about 5 to 6 months or so to bank the million XP needed for a ship like this. I cant complain. This year starting in January I picked up Alaska (I got that grind done in less than 3 months starting at around 250K FXP), Nelson, Agir and Groningen. A couple of more cycles and I will have all the FXP ships available unless they add something. I'll probably bank it for research bureau resets or to more of my commanders to 21 points at that point.

[@travelwell8098]

I'm curious to hear your take on the "bug" that reduces survivability when running Survivability Expert on a DD. Don't know if the bug is limited to Kleber or French DDs per se.... but would be interesting to explore. Apparently it messes with the saturation mechanic... in that it takes about 4 or fives times as long for a part of the ship to become saturated, resulting in eating a ton more damage than you would with SE.

[@siriusczech]

Depends hugely on your playstyle and favourite ship type. Also consider the fact that the coupon is both for steel and coal ships, so if you are about to get some steel from ranked/cla wars/dockyard (2000 steel there in the end), you better save you pennies. Also depends if you want to get a ship to earn credits, use in T10 ranked, have fun in random meta or what exactly are you expecting from it. From T10 Ships you have Max Immelmann - strong CV, easy to fit Lutjens on, pretty strong, little gimmicky Yoshino - long range HE spamming cruiser with an option to fire 20 km torps from both sides Moskva - ultimate RU HE spamming cruiser, easy to fit Kuznecov or other light cruiser captain Salem - Des Moines with super heal and shorter range radar. Marceau - superfast French DD, great DPM, bad concealment. Good for captain training of French captains, unstoppable with rpf. Napoli - great pushing IT heavy cruiser, quite tanky, great SAP secondaries. From lower tiers IX Pommern is a good brawler with torps and earns more credits IX Kearsarge - Montana guns, flight deck, ugly as hell, but earns a lot, too. VII Duke of Yorck - good BB with cruiser-like dispersion and improved pen angles. Good in Narai VII Lazo - king of long range HE spam in its tier. III Charleston - if you are looking for low tier fun or a source of "how many hits per battle can I get in US cruiser", this is your pick. Great for Naval battle or for relaxing playstyle. Just slap any captain you wish on it and go wild :)

You can get ~ 16km range by taking all the range skills and upgrades, with insane rainbow arcs you can bombard ships behind ANY Island. Yes, dispersions is pretty wide - but it's 2 shells every 2 seconds - so many players will get fed up dying the death of a thousand cuts when not detected, they will literally charge out into the open to be farmed. Plus, there's something super troll about bombarding ships across two brothers... If you have both, really really recommend trying the bombardier build for the memes! All range, all fire chance!

Mr.Potato what are your thoughts about Hayate? I'm sitting here at 3M FXP...I'm thinking of buying Groningen and Hayate.

[@siriusczech]

Not a PQ, but Hayate is sh*t. It combines the worse from both IJN lines. It gets more guns and less torps than Shima, but less guns and more torps than Harugumo. It has terrible concealment of 6,1 with all skills and modules, with which you cannot do much. I don´t know how many ships you have, but I would use those FXP to regrind a line with 2x the bonus is now, maybe even doing it three times in a row getting you on 4x the bonus (2x+1x+1x) and doing it on Harugumo line would cost you around 2,5mil fxp only (cheapest line to research). Then just collect and buy some specials from RB (ships, legendary modules...). Other option is to get to Khaba and GK (at least fxp it, no need to buy), cause it will go out of research soon. In the end, it you have all the ships you want, go for them and buy them if you like. I just don´t seem them to be played often and similar to Flambass, who tells the Hayate is ... not worth it, my clanmate took it twice to ranked, too, and got his ass handed to him pretty quickly by everyone. Outspotted by Shima, focused down quickly.

[@sardaukerlegion]

Got this one after the Marceau, not finding the right way to use it.

[@Sporting1210]

i kinda agree and disagree. It can be a fun ship to play, but I would not recommend the Groningen for learning dd gameplay. It is a very awkward ship to play due to the bad concealment, the fact that german dds out-hydro you, the clumsy handling of the ship and the very light shells, that have the worst air dragg i know in the game making it not a lot of fun to shoot at anything that moves over 10km. I d say it is a unique dd and there for worth a try, but i wont teach you a lot regarding general dd play that any other dd cant teach you. The only similar dd i know would be the Vampyre II. The way i see these two is, that they are suposed to be cap contesters/anti-dd destroyers (not a dd hunter though due to the bad top speed) , but the ultra radar heavy meta + the lack of a heal makes the knife fighting a tad iffy, since you have to pick ur fights extra carefull. When the mm is on your side though, it is a ton of fun. It plays a bit like a mini-smollensk: can be fun and very strong, but also can be counter-played out of the amtch easy by players, who know what they are doing.

I'm now scared of what PQ could do with a Daring which is one heck of a gunboat (probably is better than Kléber right now due to the bug on the Kléber)

[@gearnep5821]

it's not recommand to solo players, in fact not at all..........

[@nacho71ar]

both ships up for grabs thru Xmas boxes... you can save yourself a lot of free xp that way as I did

[@yhormthemidget]

Yeah... about that. The biggest boxes have 1% chance to get a ship from that category. And that bracket is pretty big, so randomly getting a Friesland/Groningen is slim. Really slim. But hey, you can gamble for it I guess. WG needs the extra money.

[@DrSid42]

There will be whole DD like this soon. So why waste the XP.

[@nechastivi3187]

I just got Agir and im feeling disappointed

[@brett76544]

The Agir really taught me to wait for a time to move in, but HE the BBs and try AP the cruisers. Still I am spoiled with the Alaska. The interesting thing the battle cruiser line plays really close to the Agir. And yes I do have a few double torp kills in, I just could not resist.

[@onaucc9899]

I have both and have to say i prefer the Groningen. It's just more unique. Ägir on the other hand is just the most basic version of the "Big Cruiser" playstyle, because it has nothing really unique / special, like Alaska's Radar + Hydro for example. However Ägir is still a lot of fun tough. Slapping the shit out of BBs and Cruisers equally with 12k + AP Salvos simply doesn't get old.

[@nechastivi3187]

I put on reload mod and the turrets feel way to slow, maybe I should go instead for range, because guns are relatively accurate.

it got no torps, no thanks, playing that paper boat just for its guns is a bad idea, mite aswell play a cruiser then
