Special

Okhotnik — Soviet special premium Tier V destroyer.

The Naval General Staff designed the Novik-class destroyers for use in tandem with Svetlana-class light cruisers; however, completion of the latter was delayed. For that reason, Vice-Admiral Adrian Nepenin, the commander of the Baltic Fleet, turned to the Naval General Staff with a request to install six or seven 130 mm guns on modified Gogland-class destroyers that were being built at the time.

Player Opinion

Pros:

A very large amount of guns for a destroyer.
Very stealthy for a Soviet destroyer.
The HE shells hit hard and are good at starting fires.
Has a decent amount of hit points for its tier.

Cons:

Poor rate of fire.
Slow turret traverse.
Very poor maneuverability; slowest of all the T5 Soviet destroyers and has a massive turning circle.
Short firing range.
Torpedoes have very short range.

Research

As a premium ship, Okhotnik doesn't have any upgrades to research.

Optimal Configuration

Upgrades

Okhotnik will really only gain substantial benefit from a handful of the upgrades available to her. Main Armaments Modification 1 in Upgrade Slot 1, Aiming Systems Modification 1 in Upgrade Slot 2, and Propulsion Modification 1 in Upgrade Slot 4 are the recommended picks. Some captains may find Main Battery Modification 2 might be worthwhile in Slot 2; it improves her turret traverse notably for only an extra 0.5 second increase in her main battery reload time.

 In early 1917, the Imperial Russian Naval Technical Board recognizes the need to introduce high-speed “cruiser-killers” into the Baltic Fleet, in order to counter the increasing threat of Imperial German capital-ships. After further consideration, it was decided to focus upon a destroyer platform for the new project, as destroyers are relatively inexpensive to construct and re-arm to sizeable numbers. Further specifications outlined the role these new “destroyer-suppressors” were to play: anti-capital ship combat, high-speed reconnaissance, and mine-laying abilities; in short, a light multi-purpose high-speed warship. For all intents and purposes, what we consider to be the roles of modern destroyers. The future of this project fell to the charge of Colonel R. A. Matrosova.
-In order to cut down design time, the team decided to modify an existing design present in the Russian Navy, as opposed to constructing a new vessel from scratch. The vessels in question were the ''Gavriil-class'' destroyers, a subclass of the much larger ''Novik-class'' destroyers. In order to produce more deck-space to mount more artillery, the vessels were planned to be increased a length of 30 meters to 130 meters total. In order to maintain hull integrity, the number of transverse bulkheads increased from 12 to 20, and the outer metal frame was increased to 10mm in thickness. Overall, this increased her total displacement to 2,100 tonnes.

Overall, this increased her total displacement to 2,100 tonnes.
-Arguably, her most important characteristic was her main artillery, as ''Okhotnik'' was to serve as a detergent to any hostile force. As such, she was to be armed with no less than eight 130mm/57 B7 rifles; the same rifles seen mounted on the ''[[Svietlana]]-class'' cruisers. Interesting to note, the guns were not placed on top of their respective magazines, they were instead mounted on top of the bulkheads to ensure greater foundational stability for the heavy guns. Furthermore, as “destroyers” based upon the ''Gavriil-class'', ''Okhotnik'' was to be fitted with the 3 triple torpedo launchers found on the aforementioned ships.

-Albeit as an afterthought, Colonel Matrosova decided to mount the power plant of the ''Gavriil-class'' onto ''Okhotnik'' as well; 4 boilers connected to 2 turbines. As accordance to the calculations conducted by the design team, they predicted the 35,000-shaft horsepower output of the engine machinery to be sufficient to propel the craft up to 34 knots of speed.

-The design was finalized by late 1917 and presented to the Board. To their astonishment at the outlandish proposal, many were quoted to calling her a “hunter” or a “killer”, and the name forever stuck. Considering top-weight in mind, the Board recommended to downscale guns 2 through 6 to 102mm. With their approval almost in hand, the mechanical advisors intervened with major criticisms. They were concerned that the proposed machinery would never be able to propel the heavier Okhotnik to Matrosov’s ambitious speeds. Matrosov remained bold and suggested mounting the 50,000-shaft horsepower power plant of the ''Svietlana-class'' cruisers, but that would require major redesigns and a divergence of limited resources. Thus, the proposed design would never come to fruition.

 ''Okhotnik'' was an ambitious design; many would consider her ahead of her time. A destroyer that was more so a light cruiser by form, she attempted to merge the flexibility of a larger capital ship into compact construction. The problem of fitting high-power propulsion into a compact chassis was not successfully solved until post 1940s, when propulsion technologies advanced to the point where it was feasible to mount superheated boilers and multi-gear turbines into a hull the size of a destroyer.
