Rating B (Average within its tier and class · overall score 47) · Gunboat destroyer
Gunboat destroyer, suited to long-range fire support, DD hunting. It is especially strong against cruisers and battleships (AP deals a same-tier cruiser's HP in about 3 min on paper). Its AP main battery DPM of 24,222 is 17% above the same-tier destroyer average. Main battery range is 8.8 km (0.7 km longer than average), and dispersion at 6 km is about 94 m, 18% tighter than average. Sluggish acceleration means you must start turning early to dodge shells and torpedoes. Its weak detectability (6.3 km) drops to 5.54 km with a stealth/mobility equipment build (at −5% HP).
