I finally got my hands on the USS Halford and decided to dive right in with it.
In this video you will see my captain and recommendations for one, modules and my first impression of the ship.
I will say, my initial impressions are a bit different than my later impressions but there will be more videos on Halford so do not worry ;)
Enjoy and have fun watching ;)

@thegreenfather1978 17 күн бұрын

Benham with a bit worse conceal and less torps, but with planes. Being able to scout an area for DDs and radar cruisers seems like a good strength. Do that, send your planes to a nearby ship for additional damage and move in with safety. Or sail away from danger. I hate planes with a passion, but I could see people enjoying this ship. And remember when people said ships like Hyuuga, Harekaze II or Minegumo were going to be thrash ? As long as you don't throw away 75% of your HP to a radar cruiser you knew was there, in the first 2 minutes of the game, to try to get your torpedoes away...

@MagicKamek 15 күн бұрын

ive been playing the halford intensively for some months now and i actually like to play it a lot. Yes it is kinda weak when it comes to raw damage but its very fun for its strategic posibilities. Yes you go back and forth between torps an planes but you can actually hold planes and you can have "saved" an squadron just after you launched one, so you dont have to use planes ASAP, you can wait and you wont be wasting time. i speced my halford with a captain that has torps and the extra aa + fire rate to be less usless defending my self against dds and cvs, and i use the aa consumable too, and actually shoot planes down, specially if you "ambush" the planes. The planes are really good at finishing bbs and cruisers, the torps are 13.5 km so you can play "safe" most of the time and as you saw, you can have 1 hp and still be effective

@neometallX 17 күн бұрын

Halford. Has the funny 12km torps, slow but really rocking damage. You can launch F8F bearcats only if you find cover. You can spot the carrier for carrier sniping.

@edwardmackey747 17 күн бұрын

Crazy. But it does open up an additional method for DDs to help with spotting. Might be useful in battles where it comes down to maintaining caps to win with the ability to spot ships 3 caps away trying to flip a capture point and being able to reset them with plane rockets. It's certainly not a brawling DD and needs to stay in the shadows to be effective and survive.

@elchito3 17 күн бұрын

I’ve had pretty good games with this thing in ranked. Longer range fast reloading torps and planes has more Impact in those smaller games. Otherwise in randoms, it’s allot stronger late game when you can use the planes to finish off low health ships.

@zicongwu5064 17 күн бұрын

This ship sacrifice everything for the planes. Funny enough, she's quite balance because plane spotting and plane damage both unavoidable.

@elliottbriggs3385 16 күн бұрын

To be fair, this ship is not entirely made up. In real life, the USS Halford was fitted with a plane that is used for weather scouting, but not for attacking. Just like in game, it lost a gun and torpedo rack. It proved ineffective and was later removed, with the guns and torpedo rack being put back on.

Just wish they had put an ACTUAL spotter plane on it like the real metal ship. Yes I know it was a failure and was converted back, but with new CV rework one of the new spotter planes might work.

@GeneralCox 17 күн бұрын

the plane spotting is annoying, that's really what is going for it. Seen quite a few players sit in smoke and 'fly' which isn't a great move because smokes are torp magnets, and I've killed quite a few like that. Otherwise underpowered, but given how important spotting is and how quickly the planes come back up I imagine it would be good in a div, or ranked perhaps if for some reason you aren't allowed radar.

What did you expect from WG? If there is a way to screw up something they WILL find a way. 85 seconds to reload one torpedo launcher when it's faster to reload three on other destroyers is nuts as well. But the question is, Are you surprised? Nope, didn't think so.

worst thing about this ship is that gameplay is incredibly boring. at least CVs you almost constantly have planes in the air for the early part of the battle, this you need to wait between plane reload and torp reload. Flambass in a DD should NEVER be boring

Ah yes WoWs solution to OP airplanes and aircraft carriers is to just give aircraft to all player types so everyone can enjoy the fun. If they haven’t already I’d put money on them doing this to the Japanese sub line in the near future. Clearly this is easier than just fixing the game.

Its probably for the best you cant hit DDs with the planes. Being able to spot them, for free, while keeping yourself safe, completely slams the scales in your favor.

She's a weak ship, can confirm. Good games in that ship requires finely balanced MM (in your own favour ofc lol), and that shit lines up perfectly for your rotation. Poor concealment, low HP and only 4 pea shooters... Why play that DD when you have other, superior DDs to choose from?

I was looking forward to this review but after 10+ minutes of nonstop bitching about how bad it is while making misplay after misplay it was no longer a review just a whine festival. You want it to be exactly like every other DD in the game how mundane, play to its strengths instead same as every other ship in the game man. Just because it doesn’t suit your play style isn’t the dole meta yo define a review by. 🤦🏼‍♂
