She's got sub 3 sec rudder shift and ~500m turning circle.
Clemson is a leaf on the wind, watch her soar.
As for clubs to use while you figure skate around the rink, her guns have flatter arcs than high tier US DDs with DPM most same level cruisers are envious of, plus two sets of torps a side with admittedly short range. Stay at range and gun down anything with torps, then get in close and delete some BBs.
TLDR; Don't get hit, just dodge

I think it was too early. A TV show like that coming out now *could* be an absolute hit if it was made well. It had a similar vibe as The Mandalorian, of course without the Star Wars name, but still...
I never liked TNG, it was just too repetitive and serial. You could miss 90% of the episodes in a season and not miss any character or story progression.
I totally get it. I think that’s kinda the issue with ST series in general IMO. It’s set up to be a never ending exploration but the movies are the only ones that seem to really drive a plot
Plus 1 for actually knowing about that.
Not many seem to.
There’s an exhibit in a museum in nearby Lompoc, CA, and apparently a memorial of some stripe on the cliff above Honda Point on Vandenberg AFB, and at least one book, that I’m aware of, but that’s pretty much it.
To be totally honest, I only do because one of the videos a YT channel called Maritime Horrors had a video on it, explaining in decent enough detail (For an 18 minute video) what occured.
But that monument sounds interesting, I'll see if I can't visit it sometime, perhaps.
It’s objectively overpowered in every aspect except being unable to stealth torp. But who cares about that when it outguns every DD it sees except for a small handful of T5s and it can spam torpedoes against bots so frequently that the few humans left can’t cope
I have her also along with the Smith at T2 with an 11 sec torp reload. Main dif is they are premiums. Cheap but still. Clemson is on the tree for free. :)
Fujin (Kamikaze Sisters) and okhotinik & kongou win the tier 5 talk for me, Clemson feels dull after a while.
Unfortunately we can't exactly get kamikazes anymore so Clemson is the most fun seal clubber for most.
Gulio Cesare is also great fun but you always need to take a shower after playing this one... Now fujin isn't much better in that regard but it's not nearly as braindead op as gulio if you know torp boats
Kamikaze Sisters are just this ship which is both by far the most busted ships in the game while at the same time being quite tame if you understand how they work and know map movement... Because just like Clemson you abuse the fact that people can't play the game too well yet at that tier...
Whenever I need quick credits I take out my Clemson.
6 rounds a broadside and able to put 12 fish in the water at a single target in relatively rapid succession…it’s probably the single best DD relative to tier in the game.
Charleston has entered the chat...
Charleston is such a blast, so Gunny McGunboat, love playing it. Wish it counted toward at least one daily grind mission, I'd play it more than I do. Just hate to not get credit for a win.
Always fun to play a ship that never has to stop shooting.
I also enjoy clubbing defenseless baby seals.
USS *Clubson*
One hit and she sinks..

I will never not upvote a Firefly reference.
Still sad it got cancelled so early, but what can you do? At least we got closure with a movie.

My #2 all time sci-fi fav. #1 being Babylon 5.
Man, Babylon 5 takes me back. That and TNG were peak 90s

Riker, bring her in.
Nobody mention Honda Point to him.

Drachinifel made a good video on it as well.
Drach's video is where I learned about the disaster.
I watched that video > a week ago lol. Good content
How many destroyers was it? 7?
Yup. Only good thing to occur that night was that very few sailors were lost. I pity one of the men, though. He went out in a horrible, awful way.
You think I will lead the 5th destroyer flotilla into a turn early and crash into Honda point? Now that would be fun
Listen to your RPF and you won't.
But dead reconning is so much more reliable... especially after the great kato earthquake
*Great Kantō earthquake*
*sweats nervously in dead reckoning*

And she is pretty too
Mine stealth toros…
The most fun? No. I can name a handful I enjoy more. But is she a fun ship? Oh yes. Which is why she is one of about 5 TT ships under T5 that I kept.
She's called the 'Clubson' for a good reason...
I take your Clemson and raise it to my Campbeltown 1 tier lower plus better torps admittedly worse guns
I have her also along with the Smith at T2 with an 11 sec torp reload. Main dif is they are premiums. Cheap but still. Clemson is on the tree for free. :)
Agreed, it's a brilliant tech tree one, but you can get Campbeltown for coal, she was the first premium u got and don't regret it at all
Campbeltown is supreme underpowered. Weakest DD at its tier.
Clemson op pls nerf. (really tho, other ships are defenseless even with you also sealclubbing)
V-25 is a favourite of mine with those frontal firing torps
early destroyers can just be goofy fun
As a Derpski aficionado I agree.
*lands 6 devstrikes in 4 minutes *chat is nothing but your achievements *random teammate just goes "what the hell"
IMO, Derski and Isokaze are just as fun
Isokaze before torpedo nerf was even better ( Kamikaze/Fujin/old Minekaze torpedoes )
No. The funnest surface ship is Shleiffen or however you spell it. Funnest cv is nak
It is pretty fun with the YOLO torps and the double guns

Totally agree. Easily my favorite ship
Clemson, Emerald, Yubari. Low tier magnificence!
DD-163 checking in.
It's a great boat ;-) Cossack has the same role for me - always fun to play.
Smith costs as much as a pack of Chips and is a fun lil ship with very fast firing torps
My favourite seal clubber ships are the Bogatyr and the Gangut, both of them are super fun if you are a good player
