Hi! If you use Space Fishy alongside Atago as Inspirations, your torpedo speed will be 51kts (only 4 kts slower than Fletcher) and of course you will have the 0.5km detectability. The most interesting in this that the reaction time will go down to 3.7seconds! That's deep water torpedo characteristics.
It’s a fantastic boat, if your tired of sticking to the concealment meta and want to run a powerful open water gun dd that can contest caps comfortably the black is awesome, running Halsey with bay and sims the mortar perk has never been more usable for a cap contestor as the long smoke and 7.5 radar make any engagement a competitive one. It’s up there with loyang as one of the best cap denial dds I’m the game
I absolutely adore the Fletcher so I’ll have something to look forward to in five weeks time. Should give me something to chew on while saving up gxp for either Friesland or Loyang.
@@DerkaGames derka i have a question to Ask at you now i’m in holiday, i play a little bit before i go at the sea, because i want so much the black, i go from 27000 dobluoons if i buy the full campaign to 15250, I have the doubloons do you recommend me to buy 15250 doubloons of the full campaign or buy the kidd (which is still a premium fletcher that i love a lot) for like 12000 doubloons or less if the put sale on the premium ships?Thank you
Derka I fought you yesterday on two brothers ! You and your div mates ( both on Black ) destroyed me , I was in Flandre trying to support my dd ( an Akatsuki ) who got radared and died . I tried to run away but hit an island ... ooof that was embarrassing . Then I was asking an Iowa to come closer to me for will to rebuild but he kept running away from me loool We ended up winning because the other flank did really well . GG mate.
A great ship. Looking forward to gunboating with her. I will leave the torpedoing for Somers. I had a pretty good practice game with Orkan the other day, solo. May publish that.
Great video sir thank you...I especially love the comparisons to the other lines and Fletcher...you made a note earlier of Orkhan also having similar playstyle and difficulty in playing...might you consider a fresh video on it? I am intrigued by it and would consider purchasing it..Thanks!
I chose the Black over the Independence as I don't have any of the CV's by choice at least for now. It's not a style of play that I can get into. So far, I'm liking the Black and it's radar but those torps are slower than a floating corpse in a river of maple syrup. I really wish they had not chosen another American DD so soon after the Somers. Between this & that Belfast '43, the campaign ships have been underwhelming lately, in my opinion. If this campaign had to have another DD I think another British or French DD at Tier 7 would have been much more exciting considering those two nations are the only two out of the Big-7 with just one DD at that particularTier. I don't count Italy just yet (no DD Tech Tree) as they have as many available DD's (2) as they have DD commanders (2) which is another thing that makes no sense, but thats just me. Great video as usual!
Hey Derka, Do doubloons ever go on sale? Is now the best time to buy premium time? I'm new to the game so I have no perspective on these sorts of things. Thanks!
I'll definitely use George Dewey! 2%more fire chance, more speed and range. Probably gonna use Blue Floriora for 4% more speed so I am gonna hunt those DDs. And of course fully packed, 4 radar lol
I can already see the damage output a triple Black div can have on other DDs 👀 I wonder if it'll be as good as Loyang I have a little suggestion for videos too, why not make a ranking of your personal favorite ship of each class and the ones you think are the best and the worst ?
I'll have to compare more to Loyang, but it's a close competition. Loyang torps are better imo. And tbh her sonar might be the better consumable as well with it's protection from torps and longer duration. Black has the better DPM and health
I love my American dds so this is the first campaign out of the last three that I’m looking forward to but I definitely don’t think it’s the best t7 dd. I give the nod to Loyang there and I think Fletcher, Lightning and probably a couple others are arguably stronger. I would personally rather have a good long range sonar than the 13 second radar but I can see the argument either way. I think you give up too much dpm and torpedo wise but at least it is unique for the time being.
They nerfed this one kind of bad. They nerfed the reload by 0.5 seconds which is annoying because the black and fletcher have the same DPM on pc. The radar is only 13 seconds, I’d rather have a z35 style sonar which you can use offensively and defensively for more than 60 seconds. That radar duration with the reduced reload and US shell arcs means you won’t get a lot of kills on full health Destroyers. Maybe a wounded Japanese or pan-euro DD.
They ahould have saved the independence for a shop carrier or a bundle idk,its just not self explanatiry, like why would you pick a carrier in first place, and it's lower tier lol
The biggest reason they added her in the campaign was to test CVS in a campaign for future ones aka Graf zeppelin and enterprise and because her name is independence
I would say it depends on what range. Tashkent has a slower reload and less damage output. But more health. Tashkent also has way better shell ballistics and will score more hits at longer ranges

Derka, yes Fletcher got buffs in an update.
Grenade damage +100 HE/AP
And better muzzle velocity.
Firing arc is unchanged.
Hope that could help :P
Thanks Derka. Glad you commented on the Orkan. I was curious how they would compare. Awesome job.👍
🙏

I'll test with mortar, usually never use that perk. I'll check it out!
T7s as a whole have become a lot more appealing in this update, and Black looks like a very powerful ship - might have to grind this out.
The addition of T8 is going to improve T7 soooo much
I absolutely adore the Fletcher so I’ll have something to look forward to in five weeks time. Should give me something to chew on while saving up gxp for either Friesland or Loyang.
Perfect boat for you then!

I love how you can explain stuff and make it easy to understand,nice vid👍🏻
Glad its helpful!
@@DerkaGames Heyas Derka . . . any thoughts on the Black B? Nobody is posting any thoughts or videos on it. None! 😢
Good review, thank you sir. Looking forward to getting her.
I think everyone will enjoy her, great boat
Thanks for the update was helpful.
👍🏻👍🏻
Derka I fought you yesterday on two brothers !
You and your div mates ( both on Black ) destroyed me , I was in Flandre trying to support my dd ( an Akatsuki ) who got radared and died .
I tried to run away but hit an island ... ooof that was embarrassing .
Then I was asking an Iowa to come closer to me for will to rebuild but he kept running away from me loool
We ended up winning because the other flank did really well . GG mate.
GG yeah we ended up losing. Our team abandon middle and their team sent two DDs right through middle. It's a simple thing like that that loses games.
nice review. I suspect in Divisions this DD with Radar will be most effective when your Div mates also shoot the same targets.
Super strong div ship for sure!
Albert Gleaves, with cloak and dagger and atago inspiration is brutal, that -400m of torp detection
That's my Sommers build. Its terrifying to play against lol
Awesome match always enjoy watching have a great night 🙋👻
Thank you 🙏
A great ship. Looking forward to gunboating with her. I will leave the torpedoing for Somers.
I had a pretty good practice game with Orkan the other day, solo. May publish that.
I still like Orkan, but just so many other DDs I'd rather play
@@DerkaGames Can you make an updated top 5 destroyers best destroyers?
Definitely will get the Black instead of the Independence. I have tried the carriers but prefer dd game play. Thanks for the video.
🙏
Space fishy gives 4 knots to torpedoes so add that to subsurface venture and that’s 8 knots so 43 plus 8 is 51 knots for Black’s torpedoes
Nice vid 👍
🙏
good stuff.
Great video sir thank you...I especially love the comparisons to the other lines and Fletcher...you made a note earlier of Orkhan also having similar playstyle and difficulty in playing...might you consider a fresh video on it? I am intrigued by it and would consider purchasing it..Thanks!
I'll put it on the list lol I feel like she hasn't aged well, no smoke, bad AA and CVs everywhere
Only time you see a ship like this Is when its been power crept and for sail even after its nerfs.
I chose the Black over the Independence as I don't have any of the CV's by choice at least for now. It's not a style of play that I can get into.

2 years later I pulled this out of a Santa 3 crate from a champion crate
I CANNOT say I am a fan of this ship's numerical designation. (666).
I'll definitely use George Dewey! 2%more fire chance, more speed and range. Probably gonna use Blue Floriora for 4% more speed so I am gonna hunt those DDs. And of course fully packed, 4 radar lol
My Dewey is like a level 6 or I would've tested him lol
Hmn... Good idea. 🤔 I'll definitely check out Dewey, too. 👍
@@altbier-king4783 you can put will to rebuild on the black with dewey which help a lot to restore a little part of your hp
What use dewey as commander?
I can already see the damage output a triple Black div can have on other DDs 👀
I wonder if it'll be as good as Loyang
I have a little suggestion for videos too, why not make a ranking of your personal favorite ship of each class and the ones you think are the best and the worst ?

@@DerkaGames yeah Loyang sonar sure is strong xD, i think its the better choice

Did you Mention that you can add atago inspiration to gleaves reducing torps concealment at 0,5 km?
2:20
Yeah
What do you think the best choice is for the season ?
Black, but also, I dont enjoy CVs
They ahould have saved the independence for a shop carrier or a bundle idk,its just not self explanatiry, like why would you pick a carrier in first place, and it's lower tier lol
Could not agree more
The biggest reason they added her in the campaign was to test CVS in a campaign for future ones aka Graf zeppelin and enterprise and because her name is independence
FIRST!!
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Would this thing beat a Tashkent?
I would say it depends on what range. Tashkent has a slower reload and less damage output. But more health. Tashkent also has way better shell ballistics and will score more hits at longer ranges
Which is better somers or black?
Somers is a torpedo boat
Black is a gun boat
Hard to say which is better because it's like comparing Fletcher to Kagero. They do different things
Miss my console rn 😓
😢
@@DerkaGames I want the uss black soo bad
Laughs in Tashkent again
Lol
Independence video when?
Hopefully this week if i find time
7?
Who tf is Mr. Beast i only watch Derka
The torpedos are so trash. So much damage on them but cant deliver them because of the knots...ill definitley take the independence.
Yes very slow
