Player Opinion

Destroyer - Nicholas

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 boostLegends_Engine_Boost.pngconsumable active.
  • Access to the Defensive AA FireLegends_DFAA.pngconsumable, 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).
