Should I buy Tatsuda or stay with Fubuki?

Should I buy the level 25 Japanese Tatsuda or should I stay with my Fubuki and not wasting 80k credits on the Tatsuda?The Tatsuda doesn't look so good for battles in my opinion so what are your suggestions?

Fubiki = better torp boatTatsuda = better gun boatAnd dont worry about losing 80k on a Tatsuda.  You get it back when you sell it.And IMO Simikaze is superior to both so dont pass on that one.

I know what Simikaze is but what is IMO?Is it the full name of the ship or what?You mean Simikaze is better than both Tatsuda and Fubuki so I better not skip the Simikaze?

I would stay in fubuki. I was in same position as you about 2 weeks ago. The fubuki is better because its a smaller target. I had better expierences in fubuki because lots of time i could manage to survive even at 200 or less DP because I'm a smaller target. But tatsuda your just a block shot target. I played it one or two games that was it. I reccomend staying withe the fubuki. You'll get to the next ship much faster. By the way the Simakaze is the best. Especially with engies and lvl 50+ torpers. Torp wall ninja. Not as good askita in torp wall but that thing is a big target. I had lots of times where it was my simakaze and a kita and guess who survived. ME!!!!!.1. I'm much faster2. I turn faster3. I'm a smaller target4. It's harder to hit me in generalPS: DON'T KEEP YOUR SIDES FACED TOWARDS THE ENEMY FOR SO LONG OR YOU WILL DIE. EITHER FACE FORWARD AND CHARGE OR FACE THE OTHER WAY AND RETREAT ( normally while loading ) OR DIE. I normally charge half way to the enemy BB line and launch all my torps. I run off reload and do it again. By the time I'm reloading my third wave of torps my team is winning and charging the surviving ships. Also on the R slots mount hedge hogs because on the way to the enemy side you can protect subs by killing a few subs on the way there or one shot little DDs or CLs. hedgehogs are quite powerful. Fubuki also prepares you for simakaze gamestyle

Awesome,so I won't lose the 80K I spent. Thanks. adarrog]I would stay in fubuki. I was in same position as you about 2 weeks ago. The fubuki is better because its a smaller target.

it is all a matter of preference. Sima is a very nice ship if you like torping. However if you are going bb line dont forget to lvl up your gunners and your dp gunners (at some point you will need to play aa and without dp gunners it want be possible). For more info on the dp gunners and how to level them up check the forum for other threads. I ams aying this because dp gunners are very specific on classing if you want good ones.So back to topic. u r comparing a cl with a dd. Obviously with the cl you will have more space to lvl up your sailors but you will get shot at way more. Also kuma does not offer you the same advantage the sima will offer. Sima is small agile and u can sneak in and out way better than with the kuma. I stayed in my sima until i was able to play with kitakami and i enjoyed it more. Somehow with kuma i did not do as well.Anw as i said its all a matter of preference. Buy the ships play with them if you dont like sell them back. the credits you will loose are very minimal.About the exp now: you should always try to keep all your crew on an average of plus - minus 8 lvl away from the lvl of your ship. So if you are on a ship lvl 50 your sailors should be around 42-58 in order to get the maximum amount of exp they can.I dont know if you have read the start guides on this forum but anyway here it goes. For IJN BB crew you will need following sailor set up:1 bo2 main gunners2 DP gunners (this is optional but since IJN has one of the best aa guns and some of the best aa bb cover ships you should definetely have them)5 engines (+12 base minimum as the growth is kind of low)3 repairers (+12 again as you will want the best possible repairer rate)1 scout ( don neglect to get one as IJN BBs up to BB6 have the most space for scouts)Enjoy the game and welcome to IJN.
