Realizing the world for what it is I ' ve adopted an absurdist philosophy . Now I find humour in everyday situations and am a very happy person . <| sep |> That ' s not even the top end of phone screen density . My 5 . 7 phone is 1440 x 2560 . <| sep |> So , as a BB player , what should I be doing to make the life of a DD easier ? If he puts out smoke for you , use it drive into it or park behind it , be aware of proxyspot tho , better park inside imo , not full broadside tho because of possible torps into the smoke . When the DD spots a enemy DD , shoot at him ! Yes even as a BB . you actually have some of the fastest shells and low arcs as a BB , you can absolutley shoot at DDs and take a huge chunk of their HP with one salvo . BBs saying oh its not worth it shooting on DDs are just lame excuses imo . Sure , if your turrets are turned 180 in the wrong direction of that enemy DD , and he is only spotted for five seconds , i dont expect you to turn them and waste time . Or if you are in a fight with another ship at the moment . But if your guns are sort of pointed in that direction which if you are following behind your friendly DD they kinda should , and he spots the enemy DD , shoot ! You dont even have to bother to switch to HE first , if you have AP loaded most likely just shoot anyway . Up to ~ 10 km you have a pretty decent chance of hitting him , especially if its in a early state of a match and the enemy DD was trying to cap but gets surprised , thus being at low speed or even standing still . Note I am not saying that BBs should hunt DDs or such . But you can absolutely support your friendly DD when he spots a enemy DD , just try it ! Sure often your dispersion will be terrible and you wont hit him . But the times you do , its a huge help just one shell hit with ~ 3000 dmg is a lot on a DD . But im sure some people here will comment and completely disagree with me . thats fine . Follow the DDs lead , try to stay sort of behind him . He will spot enemies for you , and also enemy torps coming in that direction . Dont camp in a corner of the map and snipe depends on what actual ship you are using tho . Dont fall to far behind the DD or he cannot protect you . If you fall back or camp somewhere , and then you get surprised by a enemy Shima spamming 15 torps at you , yelling SOS then is a bit late . stay together , play as a group . Dont go solo depending on actual situation . Tell the DD that you are covering him point at him and hit F 3 If you are being focus fired by the enemy , or some other reason , request smoke from the DD and he will gladly put you in a cloud so you can repair yourself . A good DD teamplayer will do that without you asking for it , but if he is busy or doesnt notice that you get hammered , put out a SOS or quick smoke pls in chat . If in a match with CVs , provide AA cover for the DD dont turn off your AA , but what BB doest that ever . . If you see a plane spotting your DD , try to get in AA range and focus your AA on that plane to take it out quick ctrl rightclick on that planesquadron . Most simple but important thing tho communicate , not only with your DD but with your whole team .
