Rating D (Bottom tier within its tier and class · overall score 6) · Balanced destroyer
Balanced destroyer. Its HE broadside of 2,760 is 47% above average for big single hits. Key skills: Engine Accelerator II ×3 (top speed +12%, 25 s); Smoke Generator II ×2 (11 s deploy, 28 s linger). At 33.6 kn it is slow, so commit to a flank early. A survival equipment build adds damage reduction +4 pp, fire/flood resistance +14 pp, torpedo damage reduction +16 pp to shore up survivability. With only 13,634 effective HP, hit-and-run from cover works better than head-on fights.
