Maestrale
Tier V · Destroyer · Italy
Rating A (Strong within its tier and class · overall score 72) · Gunboat destroyer
Gunboat destroyer, suited to light-armor shredding, DD hunting. It is especially strong against cruisers and battleships (SAP deals a same-tier cruiser's HP in about 2 min on paper). Its SAP main battery DPM of 21,993 is 27% above the same-tier destroyer average. SAP deals heavy direct damage to destroyers, light cruisers and superstructures with no overpens, but it cannot start fires or damage armor thicker than its penetration. It also carries HE to switch as needed.
