Gallant
Tier VI · Destroyer · U.K. · Premium
Rating C+ (Lower-mid within its tier and class · overall score 35) · Agile destroyer
Agile destroyer. It is weak against cruisers (AP deals a same-tier cruiser's HP in about 7 min on paper · torpedoes supply 39% of it). Top speed is 35.6 kn (not fast), but 8.0 s acceleration and 3.0 s rudder shift and 10.2°/s turning make it exceptionally nimble at dodging shells and snapping turns. Add 3 charges of Smoke Generator to break vision whenever it gets caught, and its survivability is very high. Its 7.5 km torpedoes outrange its 5.88 km detectability by 1.6 km, ideal for smoke-backed ambushes. Weak guns: avoid gunfights and focus on torpedoes or spotting.
