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.Orkan was first released on 25 April 2020.

Player Opinion
Pros:
- Excellent main battery traverse speed and forward firing angles
- Excellent torpedo speed and range
- Very narrow torpedo spread, ideal for precise aiming
- Decent concealment
- Access to the Repair Party consumable
- Access to the Surveillance Radar consumable
Cons:
- Lacks the Smoke Generator consumable
- Poor top speed and fairly sluggish rudder shift for a destroyer
- Single 102mm secondary gun is essentially useless
- Weak torpedo armament - only one quadruple rack with low alpha damage and poor firing angles
- Bad main battery firing angles when retreating
- Weak AA suite, vulnerable to planes

- 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 .
