the fletcher and the Z1 have both FIVE turrets and 2 T slots

Actually, I found USA much more enjoyable to play and start up in than in other nations.
Why? Fletcher COMPLETELY outclasses other nations start DDs. FIVE turrets and two torp
launchers, compared to the 3-4 turrets and 1-2 torpers of the other nations.

Somers? Its like an american fubu, very good for making XP and credits. DDX is great too,
its a CL in a box.

I agree the U.S. is harder than most others from the start

Yes, that's just you ;)

The Northampton is a special case, mind you, as it's unnervingly expensive and impossible
to play effectively -- it definitely is too expensive to buy, but you really don't want to
anyway! However if you're avoiding it and trying to jump to Portland or New Orleans you'll
have plenty of money to afford either by the time you're high enough level to purchase them.

but that is just me ive been having a hard time leveling and getting cash in a DDX or
CL 01

ya but US from my point of view doesnt get very much money so youll be ready for a
bigger ship by the time you have enough for NH

If you go to the Atlanta, yes, it gets hard. However the DDX at level 26 can easily take
you up to level 40 past the Atlanta or at least to the Brooklyn. The Brooklyn is a very
hard target to close in on in a DD unlike other nations' CL's.

The Fletcher, Somers, and DDX are all excellent destroyers -- the only thing better is a
Japanese Fubuki for gaining experience or the German Z99.

Well I think at least the US destroyers are quite good... many turrets or torp-
launchers... but when you reach CLs reality hits you hard.

I disagree. I think US has got the shaft from day one. Been playing all the way up to
NM30 and it doesnt get any better.

um... the brits and japs have it fairly easy at low levels...

usa is average

km is super hard start compared to the other 3...
