DD for surface combat

I find the Long Lance results to be hit and miss (pardon the pun). I have had a few battles in which they played a large role....like the sinking of the Boise I mentioned before I have had many more battles where they played no role. As an allied player I have lost more than a few ships to BB gun fire. Of course I probably lose more to those d@#! Bettys. [:@]

indeed, i think i lost the North Carolina in the Sound to a Betty. i think she was at Tulagi. so i never risk BBs in the Slot anymore

besides theyre far more useful escorting the Battle
Barges [:D]

Has anybody a 'what if...' name list of the additional Shimakazes?

Only info I have ever found was that 16 additional Shimikazes were planned, but never laid down. Seems the Japanese needed carriers worse than destroyers by the time Shimikaze came into play. If anyone could get pennant numbers or names of the planned vessels it would be interesting.

well, i did not find the names of the Shimakaze class destroyers, but this is a nice website about japanese Destroyers in general

Well I do notice that it gives you the names of a planned fourth class of advanced destroyers that were never ordered. Funny that they'd ben issued names if never even ordered though.
