  • My poor little Fletcher ... what to do with him?

So the moment I got to Lvl 12 I simply couldn't wait to get me a brand new ship. I
decided to go with the US because well .... I'm a sucker for this country ... she took
me and my familly in and I'll forever be thankful .... anyhow .... so I got me a
Fletcher ... like I had a choice .... for a while I was doing good in the training area,
but now I'm at Lvl 15 and have been kicked out. So I play with the big boys and
well .... I'm feeling the futility of being a very small DD in a world filled with 6 inch
guns.

My 5inchers had no range , went to the dual 3 inchers thinking I'd give a try at AA
and escort CVs, but I have yet to even come close to shooting anything down, and
the duals, while having better range, hardly do any damage ... so what's the point?

Please tell me that there are better things down the road ... I'm still stuck at Lvl
15 ... are there better guns on the horizon for the Fletcher ... or am I just going to
have to wait till I get to the next level Gearing/Somer?

Anyway ... thanks for listening while I lament the newbie Fletcher blues.

Like most games, your not going to get the best ship as soon as you start off in this
game. Just stick with it and better guns and ships will be in the future.

Higher level sailors can help lower level sailors gain XP faster by virtue of using larger
ships/weapons, but XP does not spread evenly across all levels of your sailors. Your lower
level sailors will receive much less experience that your higher level sailors.

Am I reading this right? Higher level sailors can help lower level sailor increase
levels faster? Is it because regardless of lvl they all get the same amount per game?

its a good idea to know your role...you are in a fletcher, there is no sense for you to go
head to head wiht a CL or a DD3.

Aim for Neutral Destroyers, Frigates, Z1s, other Fletchers, Kageros, Torp whores
fubukis(they have no guns), O classes. that way you'll be able to get more exp since u
inflict more damage.

Personally I'm training a new crew in a Neutral Destoryer, and I spent a lot of money to
fully armor it, and I was able to make 12-15K per game in attack points, but I do have 4"
duals on that thing :)(level 44 neuetral gunner :) )

As "armament" sailors your gunners and torpedo men will pretty much be equal in XP gain
regardless of the damage you're doing with either set of weapons, however once you reclass
them to gunners or torpedo men this changes radically.

ok this is wat i do withmy fletcher (although u need some good gunners) wat i do is i put
the guns that are the highest u get with ur fletcher put 2X5 tube launchers dont worry
about armour u dont need it but u can if u want and if u ever run out of displacement you
can make a light engine if u want hope this helps

There are better guns for the fletcher. when u get the dual 4" equip them immediately u can rape and
even knock dow ca's down to half if ur good enuf. Plus u can get 5 shot trops making u a very dangerous
opponent if u know how to use them.

you know that if you become really good with aiming and are really confident go for
the 6"singles they have highing range and power then the 4"duals but longer rld i
bevlive you get the 43 cal version of it at lv 20 thats the good version of it anyways
try to stick with lv limited rooms those are better for you cause it blocks out all of the
higher lved DD's
