Player Opinion

Performance

At Tier V, Siroco is a versatile ship that will benefit from a skilled commander with many available skill points. Her guns perform relatively well, although her turret traverse is a bit sluggish. She has access to the Main Battery Reload Booster  consumable, which will enable her to deal significant damage to other destroyers in a quick engagement. Her torpedoes reload quickly and have a moderate range for a Tier V destroyer. With the proper commander skill to upgrade her concealment selected, Siroco has a small window to fire her torpedoes from concealment.

Players will likely find success in employing 'hit-and-run' tactics with Siroco. With no access to a smoke generator consumable, players will need to rely on speed, concealment, and range to find high levels of success in their engagements against the enemy. Siroco will also benefit from division play, wherein she is escorted by a destroyer with a smoke generator, providing her with the necessary cover to contest objectives.

Pros:

• Access to Main Battery Reload Booster .
• Decent concealment for her tier, providing a small window to fire torpedoes from stealth.
• Good stock gun range.
• Agile and fast.

Cons:

• No smoke generator.
• Sluggish turret traverse.
• Slow torpedo speed.
• Only one gun per turret.
• Poor anti-aircraft armament.

Research

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