destroyer captains will likely be used to. However, at medium to long-range, her shells tend to have high arcs and long flight times, a phenomenon that U.S. At short range, her guns will shred most other destroyers, and her armor-piercing (AP) rounds are capable of inflicting serious harm to the aforementioned armored destroyers. Accordingly, Somers is best played somewhat conservatively, with focus given to her ability to launch up to twelve long-range torpedoes from concealment.Īlthough Somers may not win in an even gunfight against armored destroyers such as Harugumo or Khabarovsk, her main guns are still capable of dealing significant damage due to their fast reload time. She has a decent health (HP) pool, but her lack of armor makes her extremely susceptible to enemy fire in a gunfight, especially high-explosive (HE) from destroyers.

The data presented in the AA Defense sidebar section may be incorrect.įor a graphic summary of ships Tiers VIII thru XI see LittleWhiteMouse's "Actual AA DPS". Relative skill will still be measurable with existing stats. I just meant that since most of the stat sites track stats in different times. They would also have been playing in different metas, etc. Someone who started playing in the past few months, for instance, would have 100% of their Furutaka stats from the latest version that many people believe is overpowered, while someone who climbed that tech tree path in Beta would have 100% of their Furutaka stats from the craptastic version that didn't even have a C hull. Because people started playing at different times, they all have different proportions of their stats affected. It would be better if the API were improved with the ability to get stats within certain time windows, similar to the way the old Warships.today site used to (it's borked beyond trustworthiness now).
