Player Opinion

Pros:

• Monstrous rate of fire.
• AA suite that can rip up some planes from Tier III aircraft carriers.
• Very wide torpedo launch arc and with 2 triple tubes on each side, 12 torpedoes can be launched at once.
• Very good HP pool at 13 100.
• 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 the Engine boostconsumable active.
• Access to the Defensive AA Fireconsumable, excellent for defending against enemy aircraft.

Cons:

• AA suite, despite being useful at the same tier, will have a very hard time against Tier V planes.
• Terrible main battery firing arc from its bow.
• Shell flight time is high, making aiming difficult at distance, especially against destroyers.
• Torpedoes are short-range (5.5 km).
