VIII

Special

Orkan — European special premium Tier VIII destroyer.

An "M"-class destroyer built for the Royal Navy, but transferred to the Polish Navy shortly after being commissioned. Despite similarities with Lightning-class ships, Orkan boasted stronger AA defenses which were reinforced at the cost of a reduced number of torpedo tubes.

Consumables

Orkan can equip the following consumables:

Slot 1: Damage Control Party 
Slot 2: Engine Boost 
Slot 3: Repair Party 
Slot 4: Surveillance Radar

Camouflage

As a premium ship, Orkan 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.

Signals

Orkan captains should equip Victor Lima () and India X-Ray () signals to maximize the fire chance of her main battery shells, as well as Sierra Mike () to maximize her ability to disengage when needed. November Foxtrot () is also recommended in order to reduce the cooldown time of her Surveillance Radar , as is India Delta () to maximize her Repair Party .

Recommended Signal Flags

 |Pros=<!-- write list of positive points below. use * as in ordinary wiki-list. -->
-* Radar range coupled with her small detection radius means she can ambush enemy destroyers if positioned well.
+* Excellent main battery traverse speed and forward firing angles
-* Quick-reloading, fast torpedoes with 12km range.
+* Excellent torpedo speed and range
-* Super narrow torpedo spreads allow precise torpedo strikes.
+* Very narrow torpedo spread, ideal for precise aiming
-* 5.9km detection radius when fully built for stealth, suitable for her tier.
+* Decent concealment
-* Incredible forward firing angles, with all guns firing at 20° off the bow, combined with 360° turrets leads to a comfortable gunnery experience.
+* Access to the {{Repair Party}} consumable
-* Dual-purpose main battery guns means she will almost always have some defense against carrier strikes.
+* Access to the {{Surveillance Radar}} consumable
-* {{Repair Party}} that can heal up to 2,220 hit points each with India Delta ({{India Delta|Size=18px}}) signals, allowing for a maximum possible health pool of 27,300 hit points.
 |Cons=<!-- write list of negative points below. use * as in ordinary wiki-list. -->
-* Despite a dual-purpose main battery, lack of the {{Defensive AA Fire}} consumable means she is vulnerable to enemy aircraft.

+* Poor top speed and fairly sluggish rudder shift for a destroyer
-* Handling is mediocre, with fairly sluggish turning and 35 knot base speed.
+* Single 102mm secondary gun is completely useless
-* Lack of smoke also limits ''{{#var:ship_name}}''’s ability to disengage when combined with her handling.
+* Weak torpedo armament - only one quadruple rack with low alpha damage and poor firing angles
-* Single 102mm secondary gun is fairly useless in both an anti-air and anti-surface role.
+* Bad main battery firing angles when retreating
-* Only a single quadruple rack of torpedoes with low alpha damage.
+* Weak AA suite, very vulnerable to planes
-* Torpedo angles are poor.
-* Gun angles are poor for kiting, requiring a 40° angle to get all guns firing to the rear.
