It's an interesting option, but I'm not convinced the returns are worth the risk. The Unique Upgrade is an extra -15% reduction in torp reload time in return for a -70% (!) loss of launcher turn time. Means they become useless in any kind of situation where you are under fire and dodging. Of course spotting is a big part of your job, and with your speed and concealment you can do it easily. You want to concentrate on helping your team dismantle the flanking BBs first, before you tackle the DDs and cruisers at the caps. It's usually better not to go for the cap initially. Contrary to popular belief BB players are not so dumb that they'll fall for the same trick twice. The second wave of torps should never come from the same direction as first wave. Key to Shima gameplay is not being where they think you are, and the ships blistering speed means you can be literally at A cap by the time your torps sweep into C cap. Their BBs are stuck being ineffective on the B line and still having to dodge waves of incoming torps.Ĭan't emphasize the "get out of there" part strongly enough. Just having to deal with them demoralizes the enemy fleet. You'd be surprised how easy they are to land. Yes, these torps are very easily spotted, but high tier ships are large and often camp. You know the areas of the map where ships tend to cluster, you find a firing solution that intersects that, launch the fish, then boost out across the map so when the torps land you are nowhere near where the enemy traces the incoming torps back to when the torps finally land. 20 km torps are used rather differently than 10 km or even 12 km. With Shima, you can do the same but damage anything. There's a simple reason Asashio is one of the most powerful DDs in the current BB/CV/radar meta: you can demolish enemy capitol ships from complete safety. Straight up: if you have this ship, load up the 20 km Type F3 torps. That means all my T10 ships have their upgrades, and I have no reason to worry about their upcoming move to the RB.
