Jutland
Tier IX · Destroyer · U.K.
Rating B+ (Above average within its tier and class · overall score 57) · Stealth torpedo destroyer
Stealth torpedo destroyer. It is weak against cruisers (AP deals a same-tier cruiser's HP in about 6 min on paper · torpedoes supply 34% of it). Top speed is 34.1 kn (2.6 kn below average), but 7.0 s acceleration and 11.5°/s turning make it exceptionally nimble at dodging shells and snapping turns. Add 4 charges of Fuel Smoke to break vision whenever it gets caught, and its survivability is very high. Its 9 km torpedoes outrange its 6.24 km detectability by 2.8 km, ideal for smoke-backed ambushes. Weak guns: avoid gunfights and focus on torpedoes or spotting.

One of the Battle-class destroyers, she was designed with consideration of the experience gained in World War II. She had a very powerful anti-aircraft defense due to enhanced AA automatic guns and main battery, which served its dual purpose in full.
