Player Opinion
Performance
Småland is a Tier X European premium destroyer — a sister ship to tech tree Halland, but with some significant differences. Most importantly, Småland has access to Surveillance Radar .
Whereas Halland is a well-rounded generalist ship centered around its torpedoes, Småland is far more specialized in her role, and relies much more on her guns. Her torpedo armament (an unusual arrangement of one 5-tube launcher and one 3-tube) is significantly weaker than Halland's as they are loaded with stock Östergötland torpedoes. On the other hand, Småland's main battery is one of the strongest of any destroyer in the game. The firing range is somewhat limited and the ballistics are mediocre at best, but the damage output is very high and she is exceptionally good at starting fires.
Unlike Halland, Småland lacks access to Defensive AA Fire , and while her anti-aircraft defenses are strong for a destroyer, she is more vulnerable to aircraft carriers than her sister.
In addition to the exceptional main battery, Småland also has access to Surveillance Radar , as well as an unusual Emergency Engine Power
consumable with a short duration but a strong speed increase. Like the other European destroyers, she also has a Repair Party
. With this in mind, it is clear that this ship is highly optimized for a particular task - hunting other destroyers. Småland can detect other destroyers with radar, engage or disengage with the engine boost, and outguns almost all other destroyers while also being able to repair incoming damage. Her concealment is only mediocre, but that is not much of a problem in practice since the radar range is far greater than the ship's own detection range - if spotted by an undetected ship, simply activate the radar and the other ship will be revealed.
Since the torpedo armament is weak for Tier X, Småland must rely chiefly on her main battery when fighting larger ships. This can be challenging - the ship lacks access to a Smoke Generator, is fairly big and slow, and the firing range is not particularly impressive. However, she does have one tool that helps with damage mitigation: the Emergency Engine Power consumable. While it is active, the ship accelerates very quickly to a high top speed, and with appropriate evasive maneuvers becomes a very challenging target to hit, enabling a play style like that of French or Soviet destroyers.
Pros:
- Ridiculous rate of fire and DPM, excellent fire starter
- Very fast main battery traverse speed
- Very good torpedo speed and range
- Excellent AA suite for a destroyer
- Unique Emergency Engine Power
gives a significant speed boost when active
- Access to the Surveillance Radar
consumable
- Access to the Repair Party
consumable
Cons:
- Large target with subpar speed and handling
- Torpedoes have low damage and flood chance, and high detectability
- The Emergency Engine Power
consumable has a short duration
- Lacks the Smoke Generator
consumable
- Worse torpedoes and AA defenses compared to techtree counterpart Halland
