There are some cruisers that can actually stealth torp, like some IJN ones. Situational awareness in general is a hugely important skill.

@@FunandGameswithTerry i stealth torped a Seattle earlier in a Z46 and wiped him off the map. This may be for newer players but apparently even veterans need to be re-educated

Oh hell yeah. Scouting DDs should be a primary task for a CV, just out of self-preservation. Unless you're in a German CV, then DDs are just food.

I'm one of such dd, it's frustrating when you circle half the map avoiding detection by planes and ships only for cv to send all it's planes in your general direction thus trapping me

@@Titan-fk2fi I know that felling being spotted and then bombed to death by planes and cruisers... it’s frustrating especially in tier 8 with Shokaku as an enemy carrier. As I was a DD main ( now I play pretty much every class regularly ) I used to go away from the flight path of planes as quickly as possible at the start of the game,this not only provided my much needed stealth but helped also my teammates. However I didn’t go for the cv I stayed in range of my teammates to support them or get a cap, I only went for the cv when the game is really under control other wise it’s just useless ( you maybe get the cv but then ? What are going to do ? )

You're welcome :) I have some beginner-friendly videos in the same playlist, and also an older "tier 4 tips & tricks" one.

Binge watch this channel, he has some great educational videos.

@@FunandGameswithTerry will check them out! thank you!

I need to make them more often, you may have noticed my "target practice" account, took me a day to get that to lvl for the training room.

They take a bit more time to make, but I'm planning more in that direction, yes.

Teach a man how to fish, and you'll end up having to dodge their torpedoes ;)

doesnt the white aiming cone take all factors like torp speed into account?

The aiming cone should take all factors into consideration, the only thing it seems to sometimes struggle with is if the target has an engine boost active

Thanks guys, I must just need more practice playing dds haha

Your torps are so slow that by the time they get there, a slight course change from the target can make them all miss.

See today's announcement for next week

Awsome

When stealth torping, I find the most important factor is to observe the target. What are they shooting at? Where are they heading? Once the torps are spotted, is there something that can hunt you? Radars nearby? Lots of factors.
