In regards to your shells landing low compared to your aim point.........BFK on his stream had the same issue. He was in a Vermont shooting a broadside BB at medium range and the shells fell short despite the aim cursor's position. It's not just you. Someone call Flamu and have him investigate xD I really like Ragnar. Awesome video!

Great stuff thanks Kiro. Generally finding Ragnar strong, but the trick is definitely to survive the fire from the team-mates of the DD you're hunting.

I'm amazed at how you handled this chat-wise. I would have gone ballistic seeing a lemming train of 6v4 throw their ships away like that and actually end up losing that flank. Your zen is admirable.
@destroyerkuroshiokai2 жыл бұрын
It’s something I’ve just learned to deal with. There can be benefits like the lemming train mostly will win that flank and if I can delay enough and live it puts us up on points.

Thanks for the vid/detailed explanation of your gameplay with the Ragnar, Kuro. She's a beast for sure. I definitely need to work on my gunboats skills as I seem to have an easier time in randoms with the conceal build. Maybe I need to take a "juking clinic". Lol

In random battles I would probably just run AFT instead of CE and play to kill BBs and CAs first then push in to remove any DDs that didn’t flee. Consider taking IFA to help improve your awareness the moment a ship shoots at you. The game has about a second render delay from when the shot happens and when it renders in your screen. That second can be a big help in evading fire successfully.

Great video. I only found your channel only some time ago, and it's a hidden gem where you explain all your decision-making in matches and help the viewer to get better at playing the game. Still one question (didn't find a video name on that topic), do you also have a specific video guide about how to correctly use AP shells on a DD? I sometimes struggle to make the right decision. Should I use it against slightly angled DDs and hope for a pen? Should I use it only on BB superstructures? Which broadsides can I pen at closer ranges? And so on.

It’s a really old video but my suggestion is to hit the training room and see what angles you can be effective and what doesn’t. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/lZdzibJzmp-ogGw.html

One thing I have done is used Radio Location. I have found it Extremely useful. Say I have a BB spotted, but the RDF is pointing in another direction tells me a good chance another DD is sneaking up, and thinking Evil thoughts. Much better than concealment. with the Ragnar I just assume I'm gonna be spotted, going in.
@destroyerkuroshiokai2 жыл бұрын
With concealment build even I get spotted I can just radar to counter spot them. I’d rather have the DPM instead of knowing the beating to the closest enemy ship. I can solve that problem often times just by my positioning.

The Ragnar is a Beast. Good game, thought I was the only one in ranked who's team all go the other way. I cannot figure how that Gearing was spotted at range, unless he wasn't running any concealment of any kind?? Most of my encounters vs Ragnars have ended badly, quickly. Other than running or hoping for cruiser support (good luck), I see no counter to it with my usual group of ranked DD's (Gearing, Shima, Z52, Halland). It's a DD assassin. I can see I need to get the Ragnar in order to figure it out.
@destroyerkuroshiokai2 жыл бұрын
You touched on a key, support. If you can scout just far enough ahead that your support remains undetected you can pop a nasty surprise for the enemy DD. Also plan on the Ragnar radar. If you quickly move out of radar range out into cover you force it on the defensive because you can bait them into a fight where you can smoke farm them. It’s an interesting fight for sure.

Great vid, as usual. What are your thoughts on IFHE on the Ragnar? I've seen some people recommend it for BB farming, as it gets you past 32mm HE pen.
@destroyerkuroshiokai2 жыл бұрын
It could work but in the end what an I giving up for IFHE? I think I’d rather rely on fires even though RNG can pose issues. Configuring this ship to best the snot out of DDs and CAs is a lot of impact on the game.

I have not done well in Ranked with Ragnar. Smaland has worked better for me - the torps are really useful when trying to slow down a push.

Smaland is the better option for most situations this ranked season. However trying to take out that DM in my Smaland would be quite difficult.

How would you configure her for Clan battles? She was such a beast in KOTS this year, especially when she was teamed with a Vampire II. That combo was incredibly strong.

Probably with concealment to be able to stay closer to the vampire. I’d lean towards the build linked in the description.

hello there right from Brazil! Congrats on your great job on this Channel! I'm a rookie in Wow, but I'm already a DD lover, specialy the gunners. Recently got it the Tashkent ( or trashcan as they like to say). I did't see eny video of you about it. what do you think about this ship? is it good? thanks for the atention, cheers for the job maden.
@destroyerkuroshiokai2 жыл бұрын
Welcome! Tashkent is better than it used to be. I’ll add it to my list to get a video done soon because it’s been a while. It still plays more like a CL than a DD, but that’s the whole line. I had fun in Tashkent but definitely prefer Khaba as it’s far more interesting due to the shorter gun range, armor, etc. If you push and finish the grind before the next patch you can get Khaba and it’s replacement. Just an fyi.

@destroyerkuroshiokai2 жыл бұрын
They do have distinct differences. Smaland is like the half way point between an EU tech tree DD and Ragnar. The key difference is in the ease Ragnar can shoot up CAs compared to Smaland that mostly will rely on its torps to chunk down CAs. If the meta is CA heavy expect Raganr to be stronger than Smaland, but DD/BB MMing Smaland is a bit better.

How do you compare it to other DDs. Is it OP, good, average? IMO you are one of the best dd players in the world, I want to hear more thoughts on where it fits it for you as a DD. Fun, dd hunter, farmer, etc. Love to see a vid of you playing in a random game. Thanks Kuro I have been waiting for you to get it.
@destroyerkuroshiokai2 жыл бұрын
About as strong as Smaland it just works differently. Very strong IMO. The build I used was more for executing DDs. In random I’d swap CE for AFT and prioritize CAs and BBs first then push in once the DDs support has been removed.
