Player Opinion

Refer to the in-game Port screens for more useful data.

The Ship

In game, Vampire II has one quintuple torpedo launcher to Daring's two and no Repair Party consumable, but improves on Daring in most other regards. Vampire II has higher main battery damage output, longer range torpedoes, better concealment, and access to a 5 km Hydroacoustic SearchWhile active, detects all enemy ships and torpedoes within the specified radius, without regard of obstacles such as smoke and terrain. and Crawling Smoke GeneratorGenerates a smoke screen that allows the ship to remain undetected at slow speeds.. Players need to be careful with Vampire II, using her impressive features and consumables to control the engagement. She punishes mistakes and is punished for her own mistakes in turn; by contrast, Daring with her short cooldown smokescreens and Repair Party can compensate for some mistakes.

The Hull

Vampire II has a large profile but with an impressive surface detection of 5.8 km and an air detection of 2.7 km with full build. She has a small health pool of 19,800 and mediocre AA that can shoot down fighters but won’t protect her from strikes.

Armament

Vampire II carries six 113 mm guns in three twin turrets, in an AB-X configuration. The main guns fire the same HE and AP shells as Daring with low damage per shell, high shell arcs and a 12.8 km range. However, Vampire II has an improved damage output because of her 2.5 second reload. Her AP shells are highly effective against broadside destroyers and the superstructures of larger ships, and retain the improved penetration angles of Daring. For most conditions players should rely on Vampire II 's HE shells that in combination with her quick reload, have an impressive fire chance of 8%. Vampire II 's torpedoes are limited to one five-torpedo rack, located at the center of the ship. They can reach out to 12 km, 2 km farther than Daring, reload faster at 96 seconds, deal more damage — 19,500 per torpedo and have a better flood chance. Like her Royal Navy cousin, Vampire II can fire her torpedoes with a narrow spread or individually.

Mobility

Vampire II retains Daring 's improved acceleration, effectively giving her a baked-in Slot 4 Propulsion upgrade, but like Daring she can’t select the actual upgrade. While Vampire II accelerates quickly, her base top speed is quite slow at 35 knots, and her 680m turning circle is wider than Daring 's. Unlike Daring, she carries the Engine BoostWhile active, increases a ship's speed by a fixed percentage., which increases her top speed and acceleration.

Battle Performance

At a glance, Vampire II appears to be very similar to Daring. However, her small health pool and lack of a Repair Party mean she can’t sustain extended fights with other destroyers. She is subsequently a less forgiving ship to play. She needs to pick her fights carefully and be more careful with her health pool. Vampire II 's Crawling Smoke GeneratorGenerates a smoke screen that allows the ship to remain undetected at slow speeds. is versatile and she can travel at a quarter speed and while remaining in smoke. Unfortunately the consumable has a long cool down so players will want to be careful not to employ it reactively. Players should use her smokescreen combined with her impressive concealment and 5km Hydroacoustic SearchWhile active, detects all enemy ships and torpedoes within the specified radius, without regard of obstacles such as smoke and terrain. to ambush and kill enemy destroyers. While her smokescreen is on cooldown, her improved torpedo range gives players some flexibility against enemy radar ships.

Vampire II is a distinctly different ship to Daring and arguably more difficult to play effectively. Experienced destroyer players will be able to make the most of her strengths, but inexperienced players will find her less forgiving than Daring due to her lack of Repair Party and Short-burst Smoke Generator.

Pros:

  • Fast main battery reload with high DPM
  • High fires per minute
  • AP with improved penetration angles
  • Good torpedo damage and range, with the ability to single fire
  • Improved acceleration, that can be further enhanced with Engine Boost
  • Very good concealment
  • Potent utility tools including Crawling Smoke GeneratorGenerates a smoke screen that allows the ship to remain undetected at slow speeds. and 5 km Hydroacoustic SearchWhile active, detects all enemy ships and torpedoes within the specified radius, without regard of obstacles such as smoke and terrain..

Cons:

  • Small health pool
  • Only one torpedo rack, with poor firing angles
  • Weak AA defenses
  • Slow
  • Long Cool Down on Crawling Smoke GeneratorGenerates a smoke screen that allows the ship to remain undetected at slow speeds.

Research

As a special ship, Vampire II doesn't have any upgrades to research.
