I'm 7 years late into this game, but I still found your guide helpful. Thanks for the video

The other fun one is - you can either eat my torpedo wall or turn broadside to my friend the battleship.

As someone who is trying to get into the fine art of torpedoing, I approve of this message. I had hoped, though, it would have something on close-range torpedo assaults, where you charge to point blank range and fire a volley of doom. On how to not only hit with the torpedoes but also how to get to that range without getting sunk on the way. With low-to-mid tier Russian destroyers, you pretty much have to do that or go gunboat.

Wow. I only have 10 hours played so far and maybe 5 battles with Destroyers and I knew basically nothing lol. I had no clue what that white line was or that I could change to a narrower torpedo wall. Thanks for this video, it helps so much!

[anderskorsback]

The last point, that it's easier to torp things sailing towards you than away from you, is why when I play torpedo-focused DDs, I tend to go to whichever of my team's flanks that is weaker. That flank is more likely to be one where the enemies push and serve opportunities for torping.

[ecpcharles]

another helpful hint: when torping a bb or something, you generally want to not fire you guns, or else it will alert the BBs where you are and will most likely take precautionary measures to avoid possible torps.

If im using a cruiser i usually use torps to force them to turn so that my allied ships from different areas can broadside them

[InfernalDalek]

I love firing at targets beyond my range that are sailing into my range. Especially if it was just barely around an island. Sometimes those torpedoes end up hitting something faster that was trying to slip around that island :)

I know its six years later but thank you for these videos. My friends and I just discovered WoWS and we appreciate it!

[MrBrguy]

wow, , I put the lesson to good use, Found my average went from 1 hit per salvo to 3 hits per salvo. This was the answer I was needing to know. I love sailing the Chung Mu and now I am enjoying it much more. Thanks for the training!!

[klantic]

Thank you. You said ONE thing that no one else did that I couldn't figure out. You need to LOCK ON to the target to get the lead indicator. I couldn't find that anywhere. Thanks!

My battleships in my port hates you Chase.

[gitaristing]

Mostly stuff that i knew, but thanks for breaking it down.

Also, 13:06 look its me! :D

[fadehelix]

Very useful tutorial. Thank to you, I realised why I suck in my DD :)

[fobiostg]

This has been the video i have been waiting for all the years! Thumbs up!
Few more tips you missed:
1. Pay attention of obstacles in torpedoes path, islands, shipwrecks, friendly ships. Lead indicator does not compensate for these.
2. Without lead indication you can easily torp into smoke where you see enemy gun flashes, into narrow straights and in cap where you can see 90% cap point's but still don't detect that enemy DD that contests you.
3. It is very difficult to torp-kill ships that are comming straight at you. Leave your smoke and try to get away or go for a side-shot. Firing at ships coming straight at you you will hit only one torp from each of you sets even when using tight spread.
4. When people are turning away from you, yes one should lead more but when you expect they will start turning around you should aim at lead indicator or just behind it.

I've been a shima god for a long time, but I stopped playing for nearly a year. When I came back, I found I couldn't torp shit. So I remembered this vid and begrudgingly rewatched it. Now I'm nailing peeps once again.So... good vid AND it stands the test of time.

[AmIsraelChaiTrump]

THANK YOU!!! finally - someone explains what the white predictive bar is. I visually never noticed it and was rather bad at guessing the lead for the torp run.

[jellowiggler]

Very well explained guide that will help tons of new players and refresh more experienced DD players.

Good job!

[julianwidjaja]

3 year playing this game and I just realized there's a white prediction line 🤦‍♂️

[Johan-rmec]

After years of playing a bit here and there, started to go the Europe DD line. Great to see that I play more or less the same as the video teaches. So for me a confirmation is as helpfull as a tutorial part for others keep up the good work thumbs up. O en groeten uit Nederland!!!
