Haida — Commonwealth premium Tier VII destroyer.
A Tribal-class destroyer built for the Royal Canadian Navy. In contrast to British ships of the series that were commissioned before the beginning of World War II, she had stronger AA defenses installed in place of one of the main battery mounts.HMCS Haida is now preserved as a military museum ship in Hamilton, Ontario. She was first released for sale worldwide on 1 July 2018 (Canada Day).

Player Opinion
Performance
The first Canadian warship to come to World of Warships, HMCS Haida is a ship that belongs on the front lines. Her play style is that of a forward scout and destroyer-hunter. She is adept at applying pressure to capture points early on, providing forward vision for her team and foiling enemy ships from doing the same. Unique among Tier VII destroyers, she is incredibly stealthy while still having a sizable hit point pool and decent agility.
Haida’s greatest asset is her ability to spot for her team and tightly control which ships spot her in return. Her surface detection is one of the lowest found within her matchmaking spread with just a handful of ships being more stealthy. Of these, most are Japanese destroyers and present little in the way of a threat to this gunship. Haida can out-fight anything that out-spots her and she can out-spot anything that she cannot out-fight. But she has two more tricks to play.
Haida’s Smoke Generator allows her to remain mobile while hidden. This has the obvious benefits of making it more difficult to attack Haida with blind-fire drops of torpedoes, bombs and shells, but it may also be used offensively. Other ships must risk leaving their smoke cover if a battle progresses away from where they initially laid it. Haida doesn't suffer this problem. She can quickly redeploy and then slow down to once again take advantage of her Smoke Generator's concealment and resume attacking. Her flexibility allows her to keep up with the pace of battle either on the attack or the retreat.
Similarly, her Hydroacoustic Search has offensive and defensive uses. Though very short ranged, the increased warning time provided is more than sufficient to trivialize the dangers of enemy torpedoes. The long run time also facilitates this, ensuring that Haida will have ample warning throughout all stages of an encounter. Finally, it may also be used offensively to dig out enemy ships hiding in smoke. For this role, it's less than ideal. Her Hydroacoustic Search lacks the range of the ones found on German destroyers or the vaunted reach of Loyang. However, Haida’s guns have a very small detection bloom when firing through smoke, allowing her to deliver several salvos before her target can respond.
Haida’s advantages in stealth largely mitigate her biggest weakness: a lack of striking power. While she does boast some of the best damage-per-minute values with her high explosive shells, the effective range of Haida’s weapon systems is very short. Her fire angles are less than ideal and the shell flight times of her guns become very punitive at ranges greater than 7.0 km (even worse than American 127mm/38s). In addition, her penetration values are lackluster and she's not good at starting fires, making it difficult to engage larger targets with her guns. Finally there are Haida’s torpedoes. These are individually hard hitting and may be single-launched, but she is limited to a single quadruple launcher with a long, 96-second reload.
Haida is a destroyer that needs to get in close to ensure she lands as many hits as possible, whether that be with her guns in a knife fight or single-firing her torpedoes into an enemy cruiser or battleship. Thankfully, her stealth and consumables give her all the tools needed to ensure she can deliver these attacks on target and to devastating effect.
Pros:
- Generous health pool.
- Fast firing main battery with good range.
- Solid maneuverability: good max speed and radius, decent rudder shift.
- Best-in-tier concealment with a base detection radius of 6.3 km.
- Has special "moving" smoke like Perth and separate consumable slot for Hydroacoustic Search .
Cons:
- Small main battery caliber means that Inertia Fuse for HE Shells is a virtual must in order to deal significant damage.
- Low shell velocity makes it difficult to hit other enemy destroyers at range.
- Small torpedo arsenal: only four torpedo tubes.
- Poor anti-aircraft armament (like most other destroyers).

Optimal Configuration
Upgrades
The recommended upgrades for Haida are as follows:
- Slot 1: Main Armaments Modification 1
- Slot 2: Propulsion Modification 1
- Slot 3: Aiming Systems Modification 1
- Slot 4: Propulsion Modification 1 ()
Main Armaments Modification 1 is recommended for Slot 1 to increase the survivability of the main battery guns and the torpoedo tubes, although Magazine Modification 1 may also be used in Slot 1 for captains not running Juliet Charlie () signal flags. Propulsion Modification 1 is recommended for Slot 2, however Hydroacoustic Search Modification 1 or Engine Boost Modification 1 are both great choices for captain who have those special upgrades.
Commander Skills
Key skills for Haida commanders include standard Destroyer skills such as Concealment Expert, Last Stand, and Survivability Expert. Other useful skills for a gunboat include Priority Target, Inertial Fuse for HE Shells, Basic Firing Training, and Adrenaline Rush. Haida can benefit from a large number of other skills, so one must choose what else to improve.

Consumables
Haida can equip the following consumables:
- Slot 1: Damage Control Party
- Slot 2: Smoke Generator
- Slot 3: Engine Boost
- Slot 4: Hydroacoustic Search
Haida has no alternative consumables in any of her slots. Although she has Hydroacoustic Search as a consumable, the version she equips is less potent than those equipped by equal tier German destroyers. Nonetheless, it is a powerful tool; both for offense and defense.
Premium variants of the consumables can be mounted for increased performance in battle.
Camouflage
As a premium ship, Haida comes included with Type 10 camouflage that lowers her detection radius, reduces the accuracy of incoming shells, reduces her repair costs, and increases the amount of experience she earns.
She also has an alternative camouflage, Maple Leaf, purchasable for 2,000 doubloons.
