I use either of the IJN commanders with twist and track on Japanese DDs with slow traverse speeds. It helps find , or avoid the enemy, but it increases traverse speed quite a bit. The Halloween commander from last year is one, and Kurita is the other. If you have the chance to get Van Helsing again, he is well worth it. Similar to Tanaka, but with Twist and Track. He also can be set up as a gunboat captain. Most of the IJN torps load fast enough that Kurita isn’t a bad option. Togo can also speed up traverse, but you lose some concealment. Togo+Bey+Swirski is a pretty good setup too. Then you don’t lose as much concealment, and still have some torpedo perks.
The Hatsuharu was ok but the shiratsuyu feels exactly like a tier 6 yudachi with the advantage of a torpedo reload booster. My bad if I spelled the "Shiratsuyu" wrong
I started the Alaska project since coming back to Legends mid-October and I'm currently halfway in the 5th segment and have nearly completed the legendary birthday project (thx wargaming for allowing me to chain so much free premium time 😅) I think I might complete the Alaska project either end December or very early January
@@effisjens1776 don’t let first game impressions fool you. Alaska may not be the strongest at the moment ( I say this form experience) but I’m willing to bet when the Legendary destroyers start coming out in force Alaska will be a lot more viable. Currently I hate playing Alaska because I get focused by the other Legendary ships and die before I can impact the game, but I have faith things will change.
One tip I can give you is try to do the assignments against AI is fast and easy i don't play a lot so everyday I log in and do them fast and I got it a little bit faster
Many thanks Spartan. Hatsuharu and Shiratsuyu are just a pain barrier to limit the number of Dakazuki's entering the game. The Hatsu was so bad that I used GXP to get through for the first time in ages. Shiratsuyu is a little better but it is up against much better opposition + Radar+ 5.5km Hydro. You have to be super aware of your surroundings - the Guns are a liability - you have to show so much side to get decent damage that every other ship will shred you and you are too slow to run away once spotted. Even full stealth build, Akatsuki can hit for 3k if they realise that they can shoot versus your 500-1000hp return shots
Morning gamer myself. Need to unwind after working the graveyard shift. I gotcha beat though on annoyances. Solar Panel salesmen going door to door every freaking week. Middle of a game and DING DONG!
At tier 5 I like the Mahan...Good guns, fair concealment, and a prolific ambush predator. (And "yeah," you should have dodged to the left and got behind that Island. It doesn't matter how long we play the game it's always the rookie mistakes that kill us 😭)
Love the vids. I suck at destroyers so much. Lol. Hey can someone explain the permanent camo thing to me? Dum dum here cant seem to figure it out. I have 247 paint available yet i cant apply it to any perm camos it seems like.
I'm waiting for the day when ship flags buff ship capabilities. Such as ship speed increase, stealth buff, armor or health buff, ect.... With a limit of 2 or 3 flags to be placed on 1 ship, I'm sure a ton of Japanese destroyer players would love flag combos of both stealth buff, ship speed increase and a decrease to enemy torpedo detection (or) switch it out for an increase to torpedo speed. With a huge variety of buffs to just about anything, possibilities are endless.
Minekaze is a beast Hatsu is very finicky. Balance between torps and guns but try to stay undetected. But if you have to shoot use a smoke screen vs cruisers and bbs you can demolish dds if you catch them off guard.
Lies AP is ok if your close within 2km. Honestly you wanna balance your guns and torps with this ship. I do like this ship it honestly need a torp reload booster. If you would have push around the island towards the queen you could have survived being extremely close to him.
From what I’ve seen, these Japanese gunboats are trying to be something their not. If you want gunboats, you should play the US destroyers. I understand they were trying to add options for Japanese destroyers but so far this gunboat line is a hard pass, other nations are built for this kind of thing and do it infinitely better.

If u didn't know yudachi IS a shiratsuyu-class destroyer
@@lordredlead2336 yeah I kinda figured since its literally the same ship but not a premium, thx for clarification
On the final stage of the GK, finally! It has taken me over half of the year to get to this point in the project

@@effisjens1776 I've finished all the projects. Except for the new dd projects.
@@kaoticarcher6833 so? What's your point?

You mean the "blah"suharu. I haven't used GXP on a ship in awhile, but this ship deserved some skipping lol
Hahha yeah it isn't preferable
If only WG did the AB-X turret version, that would’ve been much better

lol... I am learning to slow down to get them away from me although I also learned not to launch torps after slowing down. Sucker took 3 torps
I have had quite a few Citadels in these new destroyers.
I snatched him so quickly lmao. Gunning for that t7.
Yeah I am heading for it, it looks good!
@@SpartanElite43 I like that fact is has rapid fire guns like the fletcher
8 guns which is the first destroyer to have 8 guns
You know, I never see a Vanguard in matches anymore, do you think that you could play it again?

I've been using Lutjens on GK, cause of the sonar build.

@@SpartanElite43 thanks. I think i got it now. You need 25 of one camo to make perm then the paint is to upgrade the perm camo. Appreciate it.
could we have a Iowa gameplay for old time sake
Spartan will you do more salt ration?
I can't stream until the Internet allows it.
Been using Abe and it's been working for me.

Hey spartan are you going to review the Indianapolis at some point?
@spartan whats your opinion on the azuma compared to the Avago, and mogami? Seems like the azuma is a light cruiser equipped with bb guns?
Also compared to its other counterparts is it worth the grind iyo?
Hopefully have as much fun in this as I do the tier 4. Love myself a DD to ruin peoples days
Minekaze is a beast Hatsu is very finicky. Balance between torps and guns but try to stay undetected. But if you have to shoot use a smoke screen vs cruisers and bbs you can demolish dds if you catch them off guard.
Spartan I just got the Fubuki what commander should I use on it
Tanaka throughout
Lol I haven't played world of warships for 6 months and I just got back into the game and so much has changed all my tier 7s have different stats lol
Does anyone know how to unlock the Grade 1 Permanent Camo for the Hatsuharu?
i love the Hastsuharu
Gazuntite, bless you, and salute`
Torps are 6km, not 11.6. Concealment: 6.5km with Jersey at rank 15...They must have changed this ship.
How do u get this destroyer
I got through the tier 4 without tearing out my hair. I think I might skip this one because the Fubuki is better.
So to get that commander you buy the Russian black Friday ship ?
Poland DD
American light crusier or german crusier?
When are you playing with the Next gen console?
Whenever he can buy it for retail price.
I am the opposite of you: I hated the Minekaze and loved the Hatsuharu
New video let’s go.
First the Minecraft vid and the WoW:L vid this day is great.
IKR
Hahaha I try to post a WoWsL vid every day
@@SpartanElite43 And i love them when i see them.
This is not related but the richelieu is op af
I find the akatsuki more fun to play out of all the dds I though the kagero would be fun but idk what it is I just don't like it
Yes akatsuki is better then kagero... My favourite dd Akatsuki
You should try to play World Of Warships on PC
AA build....all day
Japanese HE is just British AP lol
I’m back baby can u do some more Minecraft
I just uploaded a Minecraft video today
Cool must not had shown up

From what I’ve seen, these Japanese gunboats are trying to be something their not. If you want gunboats, you should play the US destroyers. I understand they were trying to add options for Japanese destroyers but so far this gunboat line is a hard pass, other nations are built for this kind of thing and do it infinitely better.
It’s because they really aren’t gunboats. I’m only up to to hatsuharu myself, but it’s all about that akizuki. That thing is a gunboat monster!
Technically the Japanese destroyers are torpedo boats.
jesus, they're fucking terrible.
I kinda disagree. I've been having descent games in the Hatsuharu.
