Consumables
Like the Tier IX USN destroyer Fletcher, Black has standard consumables of Damage Control Party, Smoke Generator, and Defensive AA Fire. But unlike Fletcher and like Missouri, it is a Tier IX USN premium ship with access to the Surveillance Radar consumable. However, this Surveillance Radar occupies the same slot as Smoke Generator and Defensive Fire consumables, only has a range of 7.5km and lasts only 20 seconds. Thus:
- Players looking to counter aerial threats are recommended to equip the Defensive Fire consumable.
- Players looking to counter and hunt down enemy destroyers are recommended to mount the Surveillance Radar consumable.
Camouflage
As a Tier IX premium ship, Black comes included with Type 10 camouflage that lowers her detection radius, reduces the accuracy of incoming shells, and increases the amount of experience she earns. This Type 10 camouflage provides a 100% bonus to experience earned in battle, not the usual 50%.
