''Vampire'' belonged to the Admiralty "V"-class of flotilla leaders. Their design stemmed from the creation of the "S" class of destroyers which were capable of reaching a 36-knot top speed. Since the existing flotilla leaders were incapable of matching this speed, the Royal Navy requested a new class of leaders capable of keeping pace with the "S" class. | ''Vampire'' belonged to the Admiralty "V"-class of flotilla leaders.

Throughout her carrier in the Australian Navy, ''Vampire'' went through constant refits in order to maintain the functionality of her systems and update her armaments as the tides of battles changed. Particularly, there was a push to increase her anti-aircraft firepower. A refit in summer of 1941 had installed a single 12-pounder gun for a brief time. Her most extensive refit occurred in January of 1942, where her aft torpedo-tube launcher was removed in order to install two 2-pounder guns in their place. | Throughout her carrier in the Australian Navy, ''Vampire'' went through constant refits in order to maintain the functionality of her systems and update her armaments as the tides of battles changed.

Optimal Configuration
Upgrades
The recommended upgrades for Vampire are as follows:
- Slot 1: Main Armaments Modification 1 *
- Slot 2: Propulsion Modification 1
Upgrade Slot 1 provides players with a choice between two viable upgrade options. The first is Main Armaments Modification 1, which improves the survivability and repair time of the ship's main armaments. Alternatively, some players may choose to mount Magazine Modification 1 , an upgrade which significantly reduces the chance of detonation.
Camouflage
As a premium ship, Vampire comes included with Type 9 camouflage that lowers her detection radius, reduces the accuracy of incoming shells, and increases the amount of experience she earns.Gallery
