Daring
Tier X · Destroyer · U.K.
Rating A+ (Strong within its tier and class · overall score 75) · Stealthy destroyer
An all-rounder with the signature British straight-line torpedoes, a 360° rotating rear turret and Fuel Smoke. Its 113 mm guns fire every 2.5 s, and the 360° rear turret keeps all six guns on target whether chasing or fleeing, making it strong in close-range gunfights and at stacking fires. Top speed is a slow 34.5 kn, but 7.25 s acceleration and an 11.7°/s turn rate make it agile, and 5 Fuel Smoke charges let it break line of sight and escape in each crisis. The straight-line torpedoes hit head-on cruisers well, but a miss loses the whole line, so judge angles carefully. Sonar II (4.5 km) lets it handle both cap contests and destroyer hunting.
