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.

- Slot 1: Damage Control Party

- Slot 3: Engine Boost

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.
