Forrest Sherman

• Forrest Sherman is a rapid firing smoke gunboat with amazing SAP firepower, great long range ballistics, and hydro for defense. Slow speed makes her very squishy outside of smoke
• This build allows Sherman to support friendly DDs in cap contests, gives her a reasonable chance of fighting stealthier enemy DDs, and allows her to deal good amounts of damage.
  • If you find yourself lacking the 3rd smoke charge very often, prioritise SI over AR.
  • You may replace SI with BFT if you don’t find yourself using the 3rd smoke charge often.
  • If you really lack the extra range, swap reload for range mod until you get enough points for AFT.
• Sherman plays like a typical smoke DD gunboat. Primary goal is to damage farm from either the safety of smoke or long range. Don’t be afraid to support allied DDs in early engagements. Avoid direct engagements as Sherman struggles to dodge incoming fire and dies rather easily.
  • Her torpedoes have an extremely narrow field of fire. Only use when not spotted.
• If you don’t have the Hydro mod, use ERP.
