Johnston with a burst gimmick was stupid. IT was a fighter, that refused to die easy. It returned to the fight after significant damage. It should have heals, british heals, or super fast recovery or fast heal reload. etc.

When you have time, more of this please.

It doesn't have to cost 30000 doubloons! $83 in the premium shop.

test it against cruisers

Thanks Zoup!!!! I was about to try to spend the money for containers!!!!

Here’s the thought. You fight during the burst and juke during the cooldown. Burst blast right before you go behind islands. It’s safer.

they should made johnston a T10 with op stuff, like a super heal, sap with normal reload. But i don't expect much from GW anymore, best of 2024 is winsconsin

Thank you Zoup, this brigs back memories of when we all trusted our CC's.

Thank you for the info. Will definitely save my money

I get the concerns with it, and I would have really loved a heal, but Johnston's burst fire makes it pretty dangerous in the opening stages of a battle, especially when challenging caps. Certain HP thresholds are in insta-kill range for Johnston's burst, where it would take 10-ish seconds for Fletcher to kill the same target. I've binged Johnston since she released. It's a fun ship that really is only held back by the match maker. In her own tier, she's very good as a gunship, and only struggles badly against Friesland/Groningen and Mogador/Kleber/Marceau, but Fletcher can't deal with them either. IMO, it's good in it's favorable scenarios, but definitely could have been more.

The Johnston is good for close range clutch situations against other DDs. I had a Kitakaze sneak around an island and wiped it off the seas with alternate mode. But that lack of heal meant for the rest of the match i was solely spotting.

It should have a built in heal of +150 every 2 seconds on top of British repair. Just to start.

Hey… at least you also got ur WV ‘44

I agree it´s not worth it since the SAP with either the burst fire mode on or off is not OP. Thus, there is no reason for the torp reload to be so long! If the Johnston had a torp reload somewhere between the reload of the Fletcher and the KIdd it would be worth it for me. But not as is.

So sad. Wanted this ship so bad. Historic and my mother was a Johnston.

And Johnston wins by 6 seconds!

i wish you'd done the fletcher 1 more time with AP.

And that DD you killed was a complete muppet,lol.

Easy pass...smells of "Pay-to-Rico" to me!

I Wanted To Get the Johnston...until I saw the price. No Thanks. Also they would have been better off just taking a Fletcher, an giving it a super heal (as others have said)

I just can't agree with you dude. I've had amazing results in Johnston - she's so good at playing her part to win games. I've done a video of clips of my games in her for the last 3 days - you should have a look. She is excellent as a DD hunter, a team supporter and a cap contester.

That test mean nothing. You are too far away to hit all shells. So in first case you can hit less than in next one with fletcher. Cos in my test I kill him in 3x burst and you have to use 4x. And of course with Fletcher you have fire on Harugumo and when he will get out of fight like run or smoke up he will DCP that fire and just dont let it burn full time. Only thing that matter is DPM and ability to tranfer that into demage. And thats what SAP and burst fire is all about. To have that moment when you spot each other and shot and turn away. You will not stand near him for 40 seconds shooting. Base DPM on Johnston burst with SAP is like 26% more than fletcher with HE and thats all that matters. Johston with gun reload module has +- same gun power as Gearing without guns reload mode and thats not bad. You woudnt normally say oh thats not much difference between that and fletcher. Yeah its big difference like one tier difference.

Johnston doesn't fit in the current meta, which is stealthy torpedo boats. Ships with 5'/38 guns have not been viable gunboats for a long time. They're for close range defense only. A Plan B if you happen to stumble upon another DD. If you try to gunboat with them, Montana's and cruisers are just gonna bitch slap you until you learn to not do that. Sure I've seen them sometimes do very well. I've also seen them take so much damage that they are irrelevant for the rest of the game.

Russsian developers wanting to get RICHER. 🤑

Anyone who spends that amount of money on this ship is stupid, i mean completely stupid. So many good silver DD's out there, like the daring with hard hitting auto bounce AP AND a heal and hydro to fish this thing out of smoke. Would play that any day over this for and you will 90% win...and it's Free. That's to name just one ship .
