Just started playing this game less than a week ago. Thanks to YT videos, particularly THIS one, where you talked about the “not being seen” etc, made my game better. As fun as a DD can be. Super fast and all, our natural tendency is to go straight forward and go as close as possible to the ennemy 👉🏼 WRONG!!! Here, you simply demonstrated how to properly operate a DD. Thanks alot!!!
Hi spartan another fun video. Just a few things 1)It might be better to see you ship build + ship stats at beginning of the game. 2) When playing destroyer if is imperative to open up the player list and check the enemy team to see what destroyers you are facing, that gives you so much info it should help you plan your strategy for that round.
If you mess with your commander perks you can get your reload times down a bit more. I'm at 66 seconds, you'll have to give up the extra distance but I find faster sets comes in handy for me. Also keeps the torp screen up to more easily track what enemy ships are doing and their closest point of approach. That way you can more easily tell if you'll be spotted.
Spartan i got my second ever kraken today in the konigsberg. And I also killed a new Mexico with one full salvo from my Colorado with my brand new commander that is ment to be the battleship commander.
I think you need to say "Banzai" when making those runs...it will add to everyone's excitement xD. You need to get mayhem your navigator recalculated because he keeps running you into island ....
You’re right about this ship, it is insane. Just got it last night not fully upgraded yet with Tanaka at level 9. I did 139k damage on my second match 😎
Agh! Sorry for not being early this time around. Akatsuki is my favorite ship in the game after all. *GO IJN DDs!!!* Edit: 360p squad lol 3:41 wha were you trying to say? 9:04 I call it a banzai charge, others, a kamikaze, although it's not a plane.
Spartan what do you think about the gneisenau because I recently got every German bb and I tried the gneisenau and it is slow it takes forever to get moving and turn the HE was pretty good but I was getting destroyed by a iron Duke in the thing apparently when I play German bbs and go broadside I get penetrated but the enemys in German bbs are invincible
@@magnificumdominum4229 It can out bow-tank any ship in the game. Use steering gear build. I cant remember my commander but its a torpedo commander and gives extra heal. When you tank and get close enough, turn n give em the fish. Patience and staying covered at first is the key
A Maass or Z-23 may survive but barely, Maass has 17,500 Health. Max Torpedo Damage is 17,750 HP. Upgraded a Z-23 has 19,500 Health but loses 4,800 HP when not Upgraded.
@@SpartanElite43 wait just wait.. theres 2 actually. its my favorite ship, you just gotta use it a certain way. gimme 1 hour, infact you should commentate my vids while still maintaining its not a good ship! 😂😂
High tier Japanese destroyers are bs. I feel like they're too good to be fair. If you wanted to you could just spam torps the entire game without being spotted, and you can't even see them until they're too close to avoid, and you know your cruisers aren't have the wherewithal to use their sonar when there's a destroyer nearby. They don't even have to be nearby either. It's just annoying to deal with them when every game you're in, there's a tier five plus japanese dd, and your cruisers decide that their designated role in the game as a torpedo scout is better served by a battleship, and in most games I play, the people on my battleship are just completely blind.
I know it's a run-on sentence. Also, you probably shouldn't rush high tier German battleships because they basically have Omaha's strapped to their sides
Well then it's me I'm the absolute worst player you can think of to use torpedoes I miss at 2km 3km I also never hit 4 km absolutely impossible? Why am I so terrible with torpedoes I don't get it.
@@SpartanElite43 that's why I said he didn't have a secondary build because no matter where you approach from those things hit you. I can't wait until croos platform play
I’m sorry but I’ll have to disagree the 6 is better because u loose the 3rd tube my Commander is 16 level 3 now u want to have some fun get the kamikaze when it comes up for sale Torpedo reload 37 seconds no Engine boost 71 knots it is deadly
i freaking hate IJN DD's i don't like DD's in general yes, they're cool and i like their playstyle but it's unfair! because you can't see the damn thing until it's way too close and aiming and succesfully hitting torpedo's at point blank is as easy as stealing candy from a baby you're done for if it's too close there's literally nothing you can do but hope for the best i'm a battleship captain, so it's natural that i have some problems with destroyers but this is just stupid HOW can i not see a ship when it's 2 nautical miles from my portside? there is nothing! not even a trail in the water! that's BS and it's annoying as hell😂 they must have some active camouflage or something also! Cruiser Captains!! when there's Destroyers in the match stay close to your Battleships They need your support against Destroyers
High end rn dds with sonar and right perks absolutely wreck ijn dds. There’s a counter for almost everything. Jervis and lightning are two of the most well rounded ships in the game
Go get a ship with sonar/radar and hunt them down. Don’t rely on teammate unless in a division and don’t play the victim. Hunt them down like dogs and eliminate them first priority.
@@Bohdisattva326 true bro but the problem is that it takes one smart DD player and i'm dead there's almost nothing i can do when they're far away it's no problem from mid range i can eat DD's like breakfast so i'm practically f*cked unless i have some cruisers with me correct me if i'm wrong but battleships don't have sonar i sometimes play cruisers but i'm definitely more of a battleship captain I'm currently maining USS Colorado until i get USS Iowa and i know i need cruisers with me because Iowa doesn't turn for days USS Colorado is actually pretty manouvrable, so when i know there is a DD around i can handle myself by predicting it's actions and dodge torpedos based on that but you also have ninja DD players, and no matter how good you are in a battleship, you're gonna take torps from ninja DD's you rarely see then during the match, only when it's too late to take action against them i just hate that you can't detect them even when they're very close sometimes that's why i rely on my team mates i usually stick around cruisers but sometimes they just leave me behind and then i'm f*cked if a destroyer is near
CheesyPnut98 I feel your pain homie I get torped in bbs all the time because support ships run off like roaches when u turn on the lights 🙏 been playing with my bro in a division He plays bb and I play dd to keep him alive. Works out well!

Welcome to the game and The Spartan Army/Navy hope you enjoy for a long time
You're a destroyer Captain, now! Oooh first kill...I bet the Fletcher got salty, lol! I enjoyed that game play! GG, Mighty Spartan!
Lol yeah he probably was
This is the video i been waiting fot i play as that ship and is awesome when you get to grips with it , great work spartan
Nice it is a very good sneaky devil
If you like this one, kagero is a blast. Get Tanaka to L2 and it's 4.6 detection with 11.3 km torps...

So glad to see you sailing my most played ship! IJN DD for the W!
Lol it's a good ship for sure

Counter to ijn are cruisers with radar and British dds with sonar - rn jervis with the right set up is up to task to hunt ijn
Just watched this older video nice job! I actually just got this ship
Spartan i got my second ever kraken today in the konigsberg. And I also killed a new Mexico with one full salvo from my Colorado with my brand new commander that is ment to be the battleship commander.
Very nice! Congrats
2 years later and I'm just finding out how good this IJN line is, coming from a BB/CL/CA main person lol
Akatsuki is my favorite DD in the game. I've presently got it's detectability down to 5.2km and she is a beast!
spartan is the true bb main. He became thy enemy to understand they enemy.
Best way to know how the enemy thinks!
Punched that like button so hard it broke my screen
Lol oops!
Well look at that Spartan. You're a regular dd captain now lol great vid man
Lol just takes patience
I don't remember a Japanese Destroyer hastily chasing down the Tirpitz in "The Hunt for Tirpitz"...
Great job!! Again, great stealth game and patience!
As a DD main on the PC version world of warships... Yoloing against a bb for a full torp spread on them is quite entertaining late game lol
Yes it is
You have done better in this one game than I have my entire destroyer career
Just keep practicing
I think you need to say "Banzai" when making those runs...it will add to everyone's excitement xD. You need to get mayhem your navigator recalculated because he keeps running you into island ....
I know right I'm gonna need him to lay off the Sake
generally a totp will take most of a dds health but 2 torps plus are a definitate kill
Don't have to wait for stupid torp launch animation. Spam trigger it will fire 2 sets together in an incredibly tight spread. Perfect for yolo runs.
I thought you had to wait
@@SpartanElite43 for the third launcher yes. first two go instantly. good for bow shots also.
Very nice, I have the same problem with destroyers, I’m impatient. Just got the fubuki but not fully upgraded yet
You’re right about this ship, it is insane. Just got it last night not fully upgraded yet with Tanaka at level 9. I did 139k damage on my second match 😎
Awesome!!!
Thanks to your video.. I got me a new Akatsuki.. :-)
The Iowa is starting to feel like a jilted lover me thinks.
Lol dont worry I took her out and had some fun last night
Love that destroyer
It is good
Agh! Sorry for not being early this time around. Akatsuki is my favorite ship in the game after all.
*GO IJN DDs!!!*
Edit: 360p squad lol
3:41 wha were you trying to say?
9:04 I call it a banzai charge, others, a kamikaze, although it's not a plane.
Notification squad!
i have fubuki right now but with only one upgrade so my torp range is only 6km. pain in the a**
Keep at it. Upgraded Torps are god like, Stock Fubuki, i felt like an Early American/British Destroyer and died a lot.
Lol 6km isn't too bad but it is less than idel
At 08.00, why are you not spotted when there is 6.5 km between you and your target?
You can reduce your concealment to 5km or less in destroyers
@@SpartanElite43 oh, then i need the right commander right?
Spartan what do you think about the gneisenau because I recently got every German bb and I tried the gneisenau and it is slow it takes forever to get moving and turn the HE was pretty good but I was getting destroyed by a iron Duke in the thing apparently when I play German bbs and go broadside I get penetrated but the enemys in German bbs are invincible
I think it is not as good ship
BLASPHEMY!
don't go broadside btw, n forget you even have a third turret. I love that ship, look at my vids. they might show a diff way 2 play it
@@krazeek7958 look man I have to admit you did pretty good in it in your videos but I cannot accept that is is nothing more than garbage

Yeah but still ouch
Yep, unlocked Kagero today, Not far off Researching the Z-23 too but spent like 23M on Kagero so Z-23 will take some time.
All ur health is belong to me! Lmao...
Yep
You’re really getting through all these tech trees huh
Yeah it doesn't take too long 5,6,7 are the rough ones
Hi spartan love your vids
Hello thank you and welcome to the Spartan army
He has become too powerful we need to nerf Spartan!
I'm glad you are learning Destroyers though.
The poi goddess is pleased shes given her blessing
Lol
@Hec III I have too mate
Hey Spartan, what level is your Tanaka at?
12 I think
Hm, your merch store front doesn't take me to any of your merch.
Really? Let me check
Both the tirpiz and the Fletcher were salty.
Hey man what’s you Xbox name I’m new to the game and would love to play with u
Anyone get the double strike medal yet? I just got it when 2 dds were hiding in the same smoke. I was playing the mahan.
Hey Spartan, what your favorite DD so far? GG
Love my Americans for their general purpose nature.
That being said IJN torps and concealment is amazing
3 triple torpedo launchers and 3 twin turrets. Just yikes.
Yeah it can be nasty
I have a replay to PROVE once n for all the OP'dness of the Gneisenau. Will upload later today for you. There will b no dispute 😎
Lol but it isn't! It's not a good ship..
@@SpartanElite43 wait just wait.. theres 2 actually. its my favorite ship, you just gotta use it a certain way. gimme 1 hour, infact you should commentate my vids while still maintaining its not a good ship! 😂😂

It can be a pain, if you're having trouble maybe get a buddy to run cruiser escort for you
That guy didn't have a secondary set up ..if he had you would of need ded lol
As I approached from front his secondaries didnt make much difference
@@SpartanElite43 that's why I said he didn't have a secondary build because no matter where you approach from those things hit you. I can't wait until croos platform play
Hi
HE ANSWEREDDDDD
Hello
If I’m in my Kidd and I see you in that you are not gonna have a very good day
Doesnt the Tirpitz have torps😒😣
Yes
Well if he had brains he could have fired them at you. Might have got you.
I’m sorry but I’ll have to disagree the 6 is better because u loose the 3rd tube my Commander is 16 level 3 now u want to have some fun get the kamikaze when it comes up for sale Torpedo reload 37 seconds no Engine boost 71 knots it is deadly
I have the kami already
Hi
Hello
i freaking hate IJN DD's
i don't like DD's in general
yes, they're cool and i like their playstyle
but it's unfair! because you can't see the damn thing until it's way too close
and aiming and succesfully hitting torpedo's at point blank is as easy as stealing candy from a baby
you're done for if it's too close
there's literally nothing you can do but hope for the best
i'm a battleship captain, so it's natural that i have some problems with destroyers
but this is just stupid
HOW can i not see a ship when it's 2 nautical miles from my portside?
there is nothing! not even a trail in the water!
that's BS and it's annoying as hell😂
they must have some active camouflage or something
also! Cruiser Captains!! when there's Destroyers in the match
stay close to your Battleships
They need your support against Destroyers
You hit the nail on the head cruisers are the answer to dd
High end rn dds with sonar and right perks absolutely wreck ijn dds. There’s a counter for almost everything. Jervis and lightning are two of the most well rounded ships in the game

and i'm dead
there's almost nothing i can do
when they're far away it's no problem
from mid range i can eat DD's like breakfast
so i'm practically f*cked unless i have some cruisers with me
correct me if i'm wrong but battleships don't have sonar
i sometimes play cruisers but i'm definitely more of a battleship captain
I'm currently maining USS Colorado until i get USS Iowa
and i know i need cruisers with me because Iowa doesn't turn for days
USS Colorado is actually pretty manouvrable, so when i know there is a DD around i can handle myself by predicting it's actions and dodge torpedos based on that
but you also have ninja DD players, and no matter how good you are in a battleship, you're gonna take torps from ninja DD's
you rarely see then during the match, only when it's too late to take action against them
i just hate that you can't detect them even when they're very close sometimes
that's why i rely on my team mates
i usually stick around cruisers
but sometimes they just leave me behind and then i'm f*cked if a destroyer is near
CheesyPnut98 I feel your pain homie I get torped in bbs all the time because support ships run off like roaches when u turn on the lights 🙏 been playing with my bro in a division He plays bb and I play dd to keep him alive. Works out well!
