V-170 — German Tier IV destroyer.

The lead ship in the last series of destroyers laid down for the Imperial German Navy. She retained the main armaments of G-101 class destroyers, but featured an increased displacement and a higher speed.

Player Opinion

Pros:

Highest rate of fire of all Tier IV destroyers.
Much stealthier than her predecessor, G-101.
Small but comfortable window from which she can fire torpedoes beyond her detection range.
Maintains the forward firing torpedo launchers of the G-101 and the V-25.
Front two main battery turrets can rotate 360 degrees.

Cons:

High shell arcs.
Very short smokescreen duration limits offensive smoking ability.
No air defense capability.

Research

V-170 doesn't have any really stand-out module upgrades. Hull (B) is probably the best bet to start with; extra hit points are always useful. The Fire Control System module should come next to improve her main battery range. The Torpedo upgrade can be saved for last or skipped entirely.

Optimal Configuration

Upgrades

The recommended upgrades for V-170 are as follows:

Slot 1: Main Armaments Modification 1
Slot 2: Engine Room Protection

Commander Skills

Low-tier German DDs need skills that help them to survive longer. Priority Target, Preventative Maintenance, High Alert, Last Stand, Vigilance, Survivability Expert, and Concealment Expert will all help in this regard.

Recommended Commander Skills

Consumables

V-170 equips the following consumables:

Slot 1: Damage Control Party 
Slot 2: Smoke Generator 
Slot 3: Engine Boost

Camouflage

Type 1, 2, or 5 camouflage can be equipped for credits; Types 1 or 5 are recommended at a minimum to reduce detectibility range.

Signals

Players looking to quickly grind down the German destroyer line should mount the following signals: Equal Speed Charlie London (🚫) for faster XP gain, Sierra Mike () to compensate for her rather slow speed, and Zulu Hotel (🚫) for faster commander retraining if the player transferred the commander from G-101. Juliet Whiskey Unaone () is not recommended as battleships at this tier do not have very much torpedo protection and V-170 has quick-reloading torpedo tubes.

Recommended Signal Flags
Combat
Juliet Charlie -100% to the risk of magazine detonation. ★★	Juliet Yankee Bissotwo -20% to flooding duration.	India Yankee -20% to fire duration.	Hotel Yankee -20% to damage received when ramming the enemy. +50% to damage dealt when ramming the enemy.	Victor Lima +1% chance for HE bombs and shells with a caliber above 160mm causing a fire. +0.5% chance for bombs and smaller shells causing a fire. +4% chance of torpedoes causing flooding. ★★	India X-Ray +1% chance for HE bombs and shells with a caliber above 160mm causing a fire. +0.5% chance for bombs and smaller shells causing a fire. +5% to the risk of your ship's magazine detonating. ★★

November Echo Setteseven +5% continuous AA damage at all ranges. +5% damage from flak bursts.	Sierra Mike +5% to the ship's maximum speed. ★★★	November Foxtrot -5% reload time on all consumables. ★★	India Delta +20% to the amount of HP recovered when Repair Party  is used.
X-Ray Papa Unaone +10% action time of a Smoke Generator .	Sierra Bravo +10% action time of Hydroacoustic Search  -10% reload time of Defensive AA Fire .

Note: Use of the Juliet Charlie signal makes detonation impossible.

Gallery

The torpedo arcs on the V-170 enable her to engage two battleships at once.
The Smoke Generator consumable enables the V-170 to sit in smoke and fire at the enemy with no threat of retaliation.
An enemy Kawachi class battleship is the next victim.

+===History===
+====Design====
+SMS ''V-170'' was to be the lead ship of the V-170 class, regard overall as Grosse Torpedoboot 1917. The last Grosse Torpedoboot ordered by Germany, 53 ships were ordered and divided into 5 subclasses built by three different shipyards; Vulkan Stettin built the "V" subclasses, Schichau Elbing built the "S" subclasses and Howaldtswerke Kiel built the "H" subclasses. The main armaments of these ships were the standards for German destroyers; four (4x1) 10.5cm main guns and six (2x1, 2x2) 50cm torpedo launchers, with the only upgrades to the armament being 40 mines. These ships were to be the first German destroyers with geared turbines, capable of putting out 34,000 shaft horsepower and propelling the ships at 35 knots. However, despite 53 ships being ordered, all but 4 ships were either scrapped in the shipyards or cancelled before construction even began, as the war wound down and Germany later surrendered.
+====Service====
+Of the four surviving ships, SMS ''S-178'' was completed as sailing ship ''Franziska Kieme'' and was later sold to Brazil, SMS ''S-179'' was completed as sailing ship ''Georg Kimme'' and was later sold to France, SMS ''H-186'' was completed as transport ''Hansdorf'' wand was later sold to Brazil, and SMS ''H-187'' was completed as transport ''Hoisdorf'' and was later sold to Brazil as well.
