World of Warships - First Look: Tier X Premium American Destroyer USS Forrest Sherman
0Here's our First Look at Tier X Premium American destroyer USS Forrest Sherman. I really want to like this Forrest Sherman, but at the moment - on paper - I have some serious concerns. Her main battery looks pretty serviceable (though I'm not excited about having only 3 turrets) but her torpedo armament is just bizarre (but historical!) and her AA power is far below what I have come to expect from an American destroyer. Join me as I peel away the layers and we'll discuss further.
