? | + | Compared to her tech tree counterpart ''[[[[Ship:Nicholas|Nicholas]]]]'', ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' has fewer health points (HP). To balance this, she has an added turret, better turning radius, and is slightly faster. ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' excels at hunting destroyers at her tier due to the limited amount of radar she will face. She performs best when utilizing islands for cover, baiting the enemy into her torpedo range. In open water, her {{Smoke Generator}} provides quick cover to allow for ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' to engage with guns or return to concealment. | ||

====Design==== | ====Design==== | |||
? | + | Using the experience of WW1, the United States Navy started work on a new generation of destroyers near the end of the war. Demands for a destroyer leader with 1,750 tons arose, as the flushdeckers while reliable and deemed expendable were considered insufficient, and with a larger displacement it was hoped to overall improve the usability of destroyers. | ||
+ | For the first time a USN destroyer was to be equipped with a double bottom, which would give an improved survivability against numerous sources of damage. The ship in question was meant to be 109.7m long, 9.95m wide with a draft of 3.1m at a displacement of 1,750 tons. | |||
+ | ||||
+ | As a main armament five single mounted 127mm/51 guns were proposed, all on the centerline contrary to the flushdeckers which mounted six guns in a diamond-like arrangement, only permitting four of them to fire at a single target. As a secondary armament one or two 76mm dual purpose guns were to be carried. The torpedo armament combined both the idea of wing mounted launchers like on the flushdeckers and centerline mounted ones like they would become the standard during WW2. In total three triple launchers were to be equipped, a pair being wing mounted and one launcher on the centerline of the ship. | |||
+ | ||||
+ | The machinery was greatly enhanced in comparison to the latest flushdeckers, with a total output of 42,800 shp the speed however would not be greater that that of the older destroyers, and the cruising range was also similar. | |||
+ | ||||
+ | ====Service==== | |||
+ | ===In-game historical inaccuracies=== | |||
+ | * Despite being a 1918 design, ''Hill'' is modelled in World of Warships with a fake World War 2 refit. | |||
+ | * It is unlikely the US Navy would have given this design the name ''Hill'' as it conflicts with a ''Edsall''-class destroyer escort which also had the same name and was in active service from 1943 to 1946. | |||
