  • FLASH! GEARING VS DDX: which is better?

As many of you now know, the DDX is a rampaging killing machine capable of destroying many a ship with its great arsenal of 6" gunnery. However, the higher level players still prefer the Gearing over its newer counterpart.

The reasons for this are quite unknown, especially to me, because I see in the DDX:

5 guns (all dual 6"ers, thats 12 shots a round)
one torp slot (a good torper only needs one :) )
more DP
great turning radius/gun radius

the gearing:

HUGE
less DP
Less Guns
might have better range
depending on remodel has no torp slots or two torp slots. either way, it will take away from guns or it wont add anything to the boat

taking these into consideration, the DDX is quite the obvious choice if you wish to decimate your opponnent.

This should prove that the DDX is a far more dangerous weapon than the Gearing.

Actually, in larger games you get the chance to slip unnoticed- expecially if you're fast
and disciplined. Range in all welcome games isn't important in the first phases, someone
will always rush.

as long as you can hit them, which is a problem witht he bigger games in which you
are the least range person.

Even with the Ds its hard to fit anything but you can eat most ships and take a bite
out of most bcs and bbs...

A gearing cant range a DDX, as the DDX has larger gunspaces.

DDX with 5"54 is the best DDX. Personally I used the D model, as otherwise I
wouldnt be able to fit anything on.

i have somers...btw u get 100% money back for armor and ship
4x2 4" L guns, 3x4 torp launchers, that's 24 torps a battle to use, sunk three capital
ships to date, mostly because i couldn't get close enough due to CL screens lol

the 4" suck, but i have to find some way to free up room for the 5", or just wait for the
DDX (which i will do =D)

and btw GEARING IS THE WORST US SHIP EVER...WELL MAYBE EXCEPT FOR A US FF, BUT THERE
AREN'T ANY IN HERE

Again, the gearing is able to outrange it

I'd say the DDX 5 times better with 6 inch doubles no DD can beat it.

but its dmg output doesnt hold enuf candle as both somers and DDX can have enuf space to carry the same guns as the gearing which i think the 5"/54 cal with more turrets. not sure how you would say this but did you meant DDR? gotta clarify class cause it aint making sense.

Emperor, we are only commenting on the fact that the DDX is almost as good as a CL1, and can kill an Atlanta very easily if the Atlanta player doesn't watch out. If you didn't get that from the post, well...


Also, the Gearing, if played by somebody with relatively good gunners, can easily rape the DDX. The gearing has superior range and armor. The gearing can also kill the Somers, as long as they dont get torped.
