Nicholas — USA Tier V Torpédoborec.
A destroyer leader design. Having kept the torpedo armament of her predecessors, the ship was close to cruisers in terms of dimensions and artillery firepower. The ship's powerful propulsion was intended to produce very high speeds.

The Nicholas is a welcome upgrade from the Clemson, and a very fun and strong destroyer for its tier. Compared to the Clemson, the Nicholas is a vast improvement in nearly every way. Perhaps the most conspicuous upgrade is the main battery, which previously on the Clemson was practically the same 102mm armament found on the tier 2 American destroyer, the Sampson, including essentially the same range and rate of fire. For the Nicholas, not only has the caliber been buffed to 127mm and rate of fire increased to a monstrous 15 RPM, the range of the guns can now reach 10.9km away even stock. The Nicholas also gets increased top speed by 2 knots, 8 seconds faster artillery rotation time, and a 0.3 km shorter spotting range. The Nicholas has a fairly tall silhouette due to the tower in the front of the vessel, so once you're spotted you should be more careful as a destroyer's armor is basically nonexistent. Otherwise, the Nicholas is an excellent destroyer for its tier and can be very effective in both assaulting with torpedoes and harassing with its fast firing guns.
Plusy:
- Monstrous rate of fire at 15 RPM, pairing with 127mm guns, HE spamming from distance is a piece of cake.
- Torpedoes have the same sped to that of Clemson’s, have 500m more range and deal more damage.
- AA suite that can rip up some planes at the same tier and most carriers at Tier IV and V will avoid attacking Nicholas.
- Very wide torpedo launch arc and with 2 triple tubes on each side, 12 torpedoes can be launched at once.
- Good pool of hit points at 13100 when upgraded.
- AP penetration is surprisingly good for a destroyer, can give poorly-armored cruisers it face a nightmare when aimed correctly.
- Fast at 37 knots and reaches up to 40 knots with engine boost consumable used.
- Stealthier than Clemson.
- Just one researchable module, avoids players from getting confused for wondering what to upgrade first.
- Can use Obranná protiletadlová palba (
) instead of Posílení motoru
, excellent for defending against enemy aircraft.
Mínusy:
- Bad armor like any destroyer.
- Suffers from frequent module incapacitation when hit.
- AA suite, despite being useful at the same tier, will have a very hard time against higher tier planes.
- Terrible main battery firing arc from its bow.
- The stock configuration still has the same long gun reload time of lower tier US destroyers (6.5 sec).
- Shell flight time is high, making aiming difficult at distance, especially against destroyers.
- Torpedoes are still short-range (5.5 km) and less that the ship's detection range, making them dangerous to use against ships with lots of guns.
- HE chance of fire is low at just 5%. Even with the Demolition Expert skill it is difficult to set fires.
Výzkum
Availability of researchable upgrades for Nicholas is as follows:
- Hull: Upgrade to Hull (B) for more hit points, a faster main battery rate of fire, and access to Obranná protiletadlová palba (). Research of this module unlocks progression to Farragut.
) instead of Posílení motoru
if desired). The 5"/38 is the standard main battery mount for the rest of the line, so while captains may be tempted to stick with the easier-to-use 5"/51s for their time in Nicholas they are encouraged to begin learning how to effectively use the 5"/38.Doporučená konfigurace
