DescriptionThe Duncan holds a very special place in my port, so I made this build to show how good this ship can be. This build is all about consistent strikes with a decent reload, and a safe distance. If you hit all shells in a salvo, you have either a huge fire chance from high-explosives or some impressive AP penetration from most broadsides. The strategy is to spam HE at bow-in targets, because you can get a lot of permanent fires. In return, your british heal allows for a double fire being under control, and you want to lose about half of your health if you want dance with death value. With that, you get a 6% reload buff, which, in game, lets me go down to 22 seconds. The AP can consistently penetrate and deal citadels on broadside targets, but the shells may fall short sometimes. The torpedoes are the hardest-hitting in the game, but you have only one per side and medium range, so use them under certain circumstances like rushing ships or surprise attacks. The weakest point of duncan is its armor. You have a 32mm casemate to angle away and you should never be bow-in to enemy battleships (speaking from experience). However, no cruisers can overmatch you, so you might be bow-in to them. The broadside is very dangerous and you should not be using it, as all guns are on the front. All things considered, the Duncan is a solid ship and should be considered a threat to most ships. Have fun with this free to play build!
