Build a wall of torps and make the battleships pay for it !

You forgot the first rule of torpedos. don't fire them behind allies :)

Little note: fullscreen game fram would be beneficial a bit more (in the mobile sreen's world especially...)

Two that you missed are to let players know that while in torpedo mode it does not show as a target lock on an enemy ship. This can come in handy if the idea is to sneak up on a vessel but not necessarily let them know you are there. This is especially true if the player knows they are not in range of enemy ships. The likely hood that they have the target capt skill is extremely high and will know if an enemy is targeting them. it is also a factor that I use sometimes to know if an enemy is close, I will shoot my guns to see if a target has locked onto me but has not been able to detect me. This is a key stealth tactic that should not have been left out of the tutorial. Another tactic that should have been included is the idea that in torpedo mode it is very easy to identify the travel direction and speed of a ship at range. Even if the intent is not to fire torpedoes this is a fantastic way to identify direction of travel or how fast an enemy ship is moving.

something that i do as a DD sailor is i aim ahead of the marker. BBs have a tendency to stay in straight lines..aiming ahead ensures that most of your fish will find a new home with a BB captain. If they are making turns..watch them..wait until they are almost done with their turns..they will be at their slowest point and won't be able to WASD hax their way out of a set of 3-5 fish coming their way. Torps can also be used for AoD..Area of Denial; got a DD or CL trying to move into your freshly flipped cap? let loose a set on wide. He might dodge them but he will think twice;he'll bug out...don't want to wait for that follow up set. Of course NEVER EVER launch your fish behind friendlies! thats the fastest way to the pink hat of shame or bannedville.If your knife fighting with another DD one of my clanmates taught me to use wide spread instead of narrow; wide spread means greater chance of hit and sink..at that range the torps spread just enough to cover him. Each nation of course has their own flavor of fish; USN - Slow as hell,low yield,decent concealment. IJN- very very fast torps,very hard hitting,but they can be seen from a long ways off. KM - Meh speed,meh damage,Meh concealment middle of the road. Pan-Asia - good speed,great damage and cloaked torpedos;800 meters from your boat is too late to dodge. French torps- decent speed,moderate yield,ok concealment. RN- Slow like americans,hits like german fish with french levels of concealment..discount baguettes pretty much.

Another side note about guns...don't fire them if you haven't been spotted...When I play DDs I usually hold my guns until I have been spotted, or I can fire on targets without being detected, like in cover. I think the best mid-tier DD is the Fujin/Kamikaze once you get a 10pt commander on her with concealment, then you have a larger buffer to stay hidden but still be able to sneak, shoot, and scoot. Oh, and watch out for the BBs with Torps too, they can be a nasty surprise if you aren't paying attention...

Thank you very much. My only advice, skip over the destroyers and go straight to a cruiser. Much easier to learn with, driving skills wise on something simpler. Then, go back with a much better understanding of how destroyers are used against you, tactics, and how to drive somewhat.

wait and see an advance video for launching torp and tell you to unlearn things you learnt in this vid. Fire you guns to bait people into the torps, don't line them up to the grey line to compensate maneuvers use island to block line of sight and get well within spotting range without getting spotted etc. imo, launching torp in this game alone is a form of art.....those calculation behind each successful launch is not as easy as people think.

appreciate the video, but DD players are better off releasing torpedoes as close as possible. Without giving up detection ie. Shimikaze is 5.4 detection with 12Km (or faster 8KM) torps. The sweet spot would be 6Km this allows movement distance to break contact. The closer you are to your target, the higher your chance of hits.

Dear Zoup, I've managed to get these basics down, and am fairly successful against targets that run in a straight line and don't change speed. I am having a lot of problems with players whom my friends describe as using "WASD hax", how do I overcome this and get the same success I do against those big dumb battleships??

This game is fun on iPhone and fun on PS4 and don’t care for it on pc I play as DD and got some cool videos of my torpedos doing good damage and sinking

You forgot step 4. Pray to RNJesus.

Nice vid Zoup

i give this tutorial 10/10.

Thank you

Thanks

Torpedoes are the reason why i am not able to complete any of the campaigns..... i have been playing this game on and off for two years and i have zero kills recorded in random for torpedoes! ..... There is always an excuse.... oh he was torpedo savy, oh they got him first, oh i died, oh he was torpedo savy, oh that idiot blocked my torps, oh that other guy got him first, oh he was torpedo savy, oh i died..... and so on and so forth over and over forever and ever..... Mostly though, the rare opportunities that i get are spoiled by someone else killing it first. Eventually you simply have to say enough is enough, i stopped doing my destroyer line, mothballed it, mothballed the campaigns.... i am a happy player now, even accidentally got my first random battle torp kill the other day in my Gaff spee!!! F miracle!!!!

Yo, where are the results of the last ship give away and when is the next one?

First. Sup Zoup.
