Hill — American special premium Tier V destroyer.
One of the ship designs meant to combine the features of both a destroyer and a cruiser was the preliminary design project of a destroyer leader with a displacement of 1,525 tons. The ship was supposed to have steam turbines with a gearbox, and her armament was to include five 127 mm guns. The predraft project was offered to the Bath Iron Works company, but the latter didn't show much interest, so the U.S. High Navy Command turned its attention to the 2,200-ton leader project.

Player Opinion
Performance
Hill is a tier V American US dd that could be earned through the 'Rogue Wave' event in update 0.8.5.. It is similar to the A hull Nicholas (Tier V USN dd) as both have 5 guns. The B hull Nicholas has better health pool but loses a gun. The Hill also has better turning circles and half knot speed than its tech tree counterpart. The Hill is a great dd hunter at low tiers where radar and hydro is limited. It will perform best hugging islands, leading the enemy toward you where you can torp them at close ranges. In open water, use smoke when someone else is spotting the target. For more information consult the review made by LittleWhiteMouse(NA).
Pros:
- Five fast-reloading US 127mm guns
- Good mobility with decently high top speed and decent turn radius.
- Extended duration US Smoke
- 3 triple torpedo launchers with one on the centerline
Cons:
- Very short range torpedoes makes it impossible to stealth torp
- Not the most well concealed DD
- Bad low tier AA
- Bad firing angles of the X turret(middle turret).
- Doesn't have defensive AA fire
