It has 10 guns, with less rate of fire, but with more damage per shell. Louis wins tier III for the same reason the Dresden won tier II. Following the same characteristics otherwise keeps this gun boat on top in tier III with more Americans to come. Why this ship is the best: The Wickes is just a Sampson with a couple more torpedoes and a little more speed. Realistically, you won’t be able to get that many because you don’t want to be turned 100% to the side which means you can’t use all 10 at the same time. The Dresden has 10 guns that can shoot 12 times per minute meaning you can shoot up to 120 shells per minute. In early tiers the most important thing for a cruiser is to have plenty of DPS. Why this ship is the best: The Dresden takes this spot because it has so many guns. They also have some of the best smoke in the game which is great for supporting your team. Focusing on guns while having plenty of torpedoes to back them up, American destroyers will bully others off of capture points if not outright kill them. Why this ship is the best: You’re going to see a lot of American destroyers on this list, because simply, they’re just the safest destroyers to play. Being a little faster makes it a lot more fun to play compared to the others, which feel like they broke down and now you have to paddle them. I put the Hermelin on top though, because it’s fast, and it shoots fast. That being said, tier I ships don’t have enough differences for it to really matter. Also, playing in a tier I ship, you will never come across anything but other tier Is. There’s only cruisers, they only have HE shells, and have no other abilities besides repair party. Why this ship is the best: Tier I is basically it’s own game. Happy new year! With a large scale aircraft carrier update planned, they were left out of this article, but I tried ranking everything else(except premium ships.) Also, please note that there's a slight rock paper scissors element involved in WoWs so the best ship for one match may not be the best for every match. What are the best ships in World of Warships?
