tm63au Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 Greetings and Salutations fellow gamer's I have been grinding my IJN Yugumo slowly in Coop, my time in random seems to be less and less these days however I have reached a point where I can upgrade to the first level set of torpedo tubes. Looking over both sets some time back I was in a preponderance at whether I should grind through for both sets at the time I couldn't get the first but I was struggling to decide which set to get. Type F3 reduces range more speed but less damage, it also increases reload time. Type 93 Mod3 Has slower reload more damage and more but also slower speed. Anyone got IJN Yugumo what torpedo suite are they using or which do they feel is the best. I could just get the first set and leave it at that, speed is good, but I would like to get a take by others that are in the know. I am comfortable playing IJN and KMS Destroyers in random so there will come a time I will venture into the great unknown. Apart from a few exceptions in other nations I solely play them in Coop. Anyway your thoughts and views would be grateful also when you do see in random in IJN Yugumo show mercy to this potato and sink me last 😂 regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yedwy Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 If you want to go for WR you need to contest caps vs other DDs and you ll take the fast 8km ones, if you want to farm damagee you go for cruisaers and bbs and you will take the 12km ones 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The proliferation of radar and hydro-acoustic-search equipped ships adds extra challenges for a DD trying to be a stealthy torpedo boat. So, I feel the extra range allows me to be more flexible. For Co-op, and possibly Asymmetric Battle playing modes, the 8 km torpedoes may offer greater potential for fun shenanigans. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakob Knight Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 (edited) I use the 12 km ones exclusively. I prefer being able to reach targets at range and the environment of facing T10 and Supership means getting close is not going to be as possible as in earlier tiers. The increase in speed isn't as important to me as I can usually compensate for that, and it means more time to reload before the enemy is aware they are under attack. There's little more disheartening than to see torpedoes about to hit only to fizzle out because the target passed their maximum range.

I don’t know…watching a teammate launch 6km torps from a PE when the minimap proves the nearest target is 15 km away and driving further away, is pretty disheartening. I had that happen in Ranked last week. Then the guy radioed me, asking for my support. As I sailed my Kidd away to go do something else, I just told him in chat: “If you’re going to fire 6km torps at targets 15km away, I can’t help you.” Edited March 24 by Utt_Bugglier Correction 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HamptonRoads Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 For co-op go for speed. Bot ships had supernatural avoidance programming, so you want to minimize their reaction time. So getting in close is the way to go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would suggest that, at 11,129,367 FXP, you reached that point a few years ago. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CFagan_1987 Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 I'm a coop main so I opted for the faster but shorter ranged torpedo's on the Yugumo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mono_De_Mantequilla Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 I use the 12k torps on my Yugumo (Randoms). It feels much better to have that extra reach with so many radars around. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Latouche_Treville Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 (edited) Hi! You can keep all the modules you've searched for, so you can swap them for free depending on the kind of battle you want to play. Edited March 25 by Latouche_Treville 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True but IMHO it doesnt pay off, if one wants the DD vs DD build its one set of cap skills and modules and if one wants the farming build its another, Yugu kinda suffers if one uses the wrong or “generalistic” build on her and she isnt that strong a DD nowadys anyway so you really want the boons… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Latouche_Treville Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 You're right, but in tm63au's very case,it seems he have well enough XP to train several captains fo one ship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have very little experience playing in Coop, except for grinding 15 second games in Kleber during events with X number of kills, torps hits missions. But playing exclusively Randoms I would say the 12 km ones are best. The 8 km ones which are the same for Shimakaze is usually referred to as the "Suicide torps", fun A-F the games you can get them to work but mostly you will get detected by things and die. I pretty much mainlined TRP Yugumo back in the day, it is an amazing ship! Spoiler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verblonde Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 On 3/24/2024 at 7:30 AM, tm63au said: which set to get. IMO: if you're fighting real people, take the 12 km option; if you're fighting bots take the 8 km ones. FWIW for pretty much any IJN DD where this kind of choice happens, I research/buy both and mount whichever one is suitable for the mode I'm playing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
