They have the best smoke in the game for area covered and smoke longevity. Their focus is more on gun power, don't have any special gimicks. The Americans were the first All rounder DD line though have somewhat been power crept by everyone else. Because great players are often still able to use the guns effectively while overcoming speed disadvantages through superior map awareness. The british DDs can be run down by any DD and all the fast Cruisers and speed boost BBs.īecause of their versatility, safety factors and relatively good gun power they were often chosen in the past by great players as Bully DDs. The biggest weakness is no speed boost and relatively slow speed. The Torpedoes are OKish but have the benefit of having single launch. Meaning it very quickly gets hard to hit a fleeing and dodging enemy DD.

The guns is also part of their weakness because the shells get very slow and ark a lot. Their guns in DD vs DD fights are very competitive IF you can hit the enemy.

At T 9, 10 they carry small heals to help mitigate damage . They have many short duration and short cooldown smokes to help you get out of spots of bother. They carry a short range long acting hydro that keeps you safe from torpedoes. The British aren't perfect hybrids and lean towards defensive play. If you want the best all rounder you will be looking to the British DD line or the American DDs. Also the true hybrids all have big weaknesses. The problem that your line of thinking has is that the most hybrid DDs aren't really the best or even great DDs for all jobs that DDs fulfill. I have been playing DDs for a long long time, not at the level of the best of the best but decent enough that I carrie the day against most other DD captains. I'd like to hear some thoughts and recommendations.

i just want a DD line that can do everything reasonably well, I've heard the RN DDs are good for that, but i'm not sure. i don't want it to rely too much on dumb gimmicks like deepwater torps or heals instead of smoke. I'd like to know some good DDs that can both be gunboats, torpboats and have good concealment and a smoke, since i don't have much experience. I've been trying out destroyers more and more lately, and with so many options and gimmicks, i don't know what to choose.
