Performance

All British ship branches originate with the svelte, nimble Black Swan.

Pros:

  • Most guns of all Tier I ships.
  • Highest damage per salvo of all Tier I ships.
  • Many hit points.
  • Low detectability range.
  • Decent shell speed and arcs.
  • Very good maneuverability.
  • Good acceleration and deceleration.

Cons:

  • Relatively no armor like other Tier I ships.
  • Slowest Tier I ship (together with Bougainville and Chengan).
  • Longest reload time of all Tier I ships (together with Erie).
  • Low shell damage.
