Player Opinion
Performance
Daring finds herself as one of the strongest destroyers at Tier X. For starters, despite the fact that she has a rather small amount of health at just 20,400, she boasts an effective heal that allows her to keep fighting. She carries 6 guns in 3 twin D.P turrets that also rotate 360*, and while her 113mm caliber guns are rather small, thanks to the improved AP autobounce and fuse timer, as well as brutal HE shells, she can easily dispatch overconfident DDs who sought her out as easy prey (and she will dispatch them quickly, thanks to a reload time of just 2.5 seconds stock ).
Daring's torpedoes are an oddity,being the same ones found on Minotaur, with a 10km range and 62 knots of speed. While they are mediocre, comparable to those of Z-52 or Grozovoi, she can single fire them, and a skilled player can fire them with surgical precision to quickly take down opposing cruisers or battleships.
Daring does have downsides, however. Her concealment can only reach 6.00km, which allows other DDs to sneak up on her and deliver the powerful blows that could possibly cripple her. She does have Hydroacoustic Search , which allows her to sneak up on destroyers hiding in smoke, but it has a limited range of just 3 kilometers, compared to the 4/6km of Z-52. Also, she's rather sluggish due to a lack of engine boost to speed things along.
Overall, she's an excellent hybrid DD that makes the best of both worlds of torpedo boats and gunboats. Use these things wisely, and she will reward you handsomelyPros:
- Excellent ability to start fires with her HE shells.
- Torpedoes have a fast reload and are stealthy.
- Ability to single fire torpedoes.
- Hydroacoustic Search can keep her from being surprised by torpedoes.
- Enhanced auto bounce angles increase’s the effectiveness of AP vs angled targets.
- Heal allows Daring to stay in the fight for longer.
- Short duration smoke generator with short cooldown, can make 'hit and run' style tactics very effective.
Cons:
- The smoke from her Smoke Generator has a short action time and smoke duration.
- The lack of Engine Boost makes Daring slow when compared to other destroyers at her tier.
- No Defensive AA Fire to increase her AA effectiveness.
- Concealment is worse than her predecessor, Jutland.
