Player Opinion
Performance
Småland is a Tier X European premium destroyer, researchable for 2,000,000. It is a sister ship to the tech tree Halland, but has some significant differences compared to her tech tree counterpart - most importantly, Småland has access to Surveillance Radar .
Whereas Halland is a well-rounded generalist ship centered around its torpedoes, Småland is far more specialized in its role, and relies much more on its guns. Its torpedo armament (an unusual arrangement of one 5-tube launcher and one 3-tube) is significantly weaker than Halland's in most ways, but on the other hand, its main battery is one of the strongest of any destroyer in the game. The firing range is somewhat limited (although not as severely as on the Halland) and the ballistics are mediocre at best, but the damage output is extremely high and it is exceptionally good at starting fires. Additionally, unlike Halland, Småland lacks access to Defensive AA Fire, and while its anti-aircraft defenses are strong for a destroyer, it is far more vulnerable to aircraft carriers than its sister.
In addition to the exceptional main battery, Småland also has access to Surveillance Radar , as well as an unusual Emergency Engine Power consumable with a short duration but a strong speed increase. Like the other European destroyers, it also has a Repair Party . With this in mind, it is clear that this ship is highly optimized for a particular task - hunting other destroyers. It can detect other destroyers with its radar, engage or disengage with the engine boost, and it outguns almost all other destroyers while also being able to repair incoming damage. The concealment is only mediocre, but that is not much of a problem in practice since the radar range is far greater than the ship's own detection range - if spotted by an undetected ship, simply activate the radar and the other ship will be revealed.
Since the torpedo armament is quite weak for Tier X, Småland must also rely chiefly on its main battery when fighting larger ships. This can be challenging - the ship lacks access to a Smoke Generator, it is fairly big and slow, and the firing range is not particularly impressive. However, it does have one tool at its disposal that helps a lot with damage mitigation, and that's the Emergency Engine Power consumable. While it is active, the ship accelerates extremely quickly and has a very high top speed, and when appropriate evasive maneuvers are taken it becomes a very challenging target to hit, enabling a playstyle like that of the French or Soviet destroyers.
Fighting other destroyers in the Småland is quite easy, and it is devastatingly effective in an ambushing role. Fighting other ship classes is more challenging, but the immense power of its main battery should not be underestimated. Use it as much as possible.Pros:
- Exceptionally strong main battery damage output.
- Fast torpedoes with a relatively quick reload and decent range.
- Good anti-aircraft defenses.
- Unique, strong Emergency Engine Power consumable.
- Mounts Surveillance Radar .
Cons:
- Large and unwieldy hull, with poor top speed.
- Only 8 torpedo tubes, with very low damage per torpedo
- Poor concealment for a tier X destroyer
- Short duration Emergency Engine Power , though an extra charge.
- No Smoke Generator consumable
