Speedy Sims

DescriptionSolid Sims build. Used this to achieve the 3994 base xp record on Sims. Stay back, don't engage low concealment destoryers in knife fights. Try to stay in the 6-8km range from destroyers, and 9-11km for everything else. Shoot your guns, stay spotted, and fire off the slow 9.2km torpedoes. Carriers will struggle to hit you, and if you're having trouble, take the first AAA upgrade on the ship to extend your AAA range to 6km. For best effect, pair with a another destoryer in your division. You do not have Twist n Track or Perceptive, and most DDs will outspot you. This thing will be very fast, have great rudder shift time, and will have ~12km gun range. Plays similarly to Russian kiting DDs.
