RN DDs (Daring Line)

• RN DDs are great cap contesters whose short smokes, hydro, and improved acceleration makes them notably harder to kill than other DDs
• This build enables RN DDs to fight over objectives and deal some damage to larger ships.
  • You can trade BFT and 2pt consumable enhancements for RPF for better anti-DD capabilities
  • Hydro mod is less important due to it’s long base duration, substitute with ERP if you don’t want to spend the extra coal
• Daring line is a defensive oriented universal DD. With constant short smokes, hydro, improved acceleration, and even a small heal, they are very difficult to kill when played properly. In early DD fights, you can safely re-engage much faster thanks to your short smoke and hydro for torps. Use this early aggression to bully away other DDs so you can spot or take caps.
  • Tier 9 Jutland and Tier 10 Daring have AP with improved penetration angles. Very effective against broadside DDs, though remember to switch back to HE when they do angle
  • Short smoke is extremely versatile, useful for everything from running away to a short farming session before repositioning
  • Use single fire torps against extremely predictable targets, like bow in BBs or island hugging cruisers
• Applies to Medea, Valkyrie, Wakeful, Acasta, Icarus, Jervis, Lightning, Cossack, Jutland, Somme and Daring.
