With a modest detectability range, she will likely be spotted first in an engagement. Despite these traits, players may find that Elbing poses some difficulties while serving in a traditional destroyer role. Her two rear-facing gun mounts enable Elbing to defend herself well when retreating. Her torpedoes hit hard and reload quickly, despite their slow speed in the water. Combine that with her improved pen angles and excellent pen (Comparable to the AP pen of Hindenburg), she is a serious threat to cruisers. For a destroyer, her main battery has an exceptional firing range with a very good accuracy, meaning that players can choose to engage at longer ranges to harass enemy capital ships. She is also armed with torpedoes and has access to the Defensive AA Fire consumable to repel enemy aircraft.īeginning with her strong traits, Elbing has good guns sporting decent ballistic properties. Her 150 mm armor-piercing (AP) shells pack a punch, capable of penetrating to the citadel of many cruisers who show their broadside. The data presented in the AA Defense sidebar section may be incorrect.įor a graphic summary of ships Tiers VIII thru XI see LittleWhiteMouse's 'Actual AA DPS'.Įlbing is a Tier X German destroyer that tends to share more in common with cruisers than other destroyers at her tier. Estimating the target ships speed of course falls on you and you would use things like the angle of the smoke leaving its stacks and the targets situation and what he could be doing in that instant (are they turning and bleeding speed etc).Warning. If the ship is moving at 30 knots then you go to 7.5 since the ship is moving at 1.5 times what the sight is calibrated for. If the ship is moving at 40 knots (ie a destroyer) then you double the lead to the 10 second tic mark (actually more like 9 since DD's move at 35-ish) since the ship is moving at or close to double what the sight is calibrated for. So a ship that is moving perfectly perpendicular to your gunsight (giving you their full broadside) with a shell flight time of 5 seconds according to your gunsight data and at a speed of 20 knots puts the target on the #5 tic.

And that the sight is calibrated for a ship moving at 20 knots. Havent watched the video yet, maybe will do so this weekend.īut i thought that with dynamic each tic represents a second.
