+ | ''Black'' is very similar to her tech tree counterpart [[Fletcher]], with the main differences being her torpedoes and the availability of the Radar consumable. Black is unique among destroyers in that she can equip radar. This radar is weaker than other radars in high tier, featuring a 7.5km range and a 20 sec active time. This radar still makes ''Black'' a fearsome cap fighter, able to see through smoke to spot for her team and continue damaging enemy DD's. The other major difference is the torpedoes. ''Black's'' torpedoes feature a a 13.7km range and rated for 21600 damage, but travel at the slow speed of 43 knots. These torpedoes are more for area denial, as one cannot really lead targets with them, as they take longer to reach their max range than they do to reload. | |||
