Being so small they’re not exactly aircraft killers but they can hold there own. They can be multipurpose (can take on air and ships equally) or they can be specialized (really powerful against ships but not air or vise-versa) but overall they’re typically either a fleet of themselves (cruisers and destroyers) or screening a battle fleet (battleships and aircraft carriers.) Now this is what applies to War Thunder (as of now,) Destroyers, are the smaller, sometimes specialized versions of cruisers. Not as big, tough or powerful as battleships but they’re typically known for speed and lots of damage for there size.

They have big gun, lots of armor, can take a beating and give just as much as they take, but they’re slow and not the best Anti-Air (pre and early WWII Battleships only.) Cruisers are the meat of the fleet. Now for simple summation of classic (WWII) battles of classes of ships just so you know the difference between them all when I mention them down the line.

Granted right now, like the title says, it’s in closed alpha but it’s on its way and I had a chance (multiple full matches, not just five minutes) to test out all the Destroyers they’ve added so far.įletcher takes on two Tribals and survives. World of Warships came out in that time and while I like it (its the only game out that does warships) it feels too arcade to me, it’s more of a “keep hitting them until there health reaches zero” or of course RNG decided “one shot one kill” then just having to wait for your favorite ship to “come back from battle.” There are a number of things I don’t like about WoWS but that’s another story (for not another time) and I keep playing it mainly for the whole “it’s the only one like it around.” BUT…now we have War Thunder to contend with. Granted that was a long time ago so we’ve had to wait a long time. So long ago when War Thunder said “we’re doing all vehicular combat of WWII” including warship, I was extremely eager for that to happen. Yes recently I did a review from Cold Waters so if you noticed anything is that I love naval combat, especially the classic “aim-and-hope-to-hit-the-target” classic battles like WWII.

But now I have accounted for the time difference and have a (general) grasp of the game including the awesome (OP?) Japanese Yugumo Destroyer. I would’ve written about this the last time the closed alpha was up (restricted timed alpha) but at the time I was unlucky with my timing as I could only play about 5 minutes before it was shut down so I felt it I didn’t get a full grasp of everything.
