Wickes — American Tier III destroyer.

During World War I, the first destroyers of an improved design—flush-deck ships with greater displacement and firepower—were laid down, followed by the Wickes-class destroyers of the second series. The lead ship escorted transports until the end of the war. With the outbreak of World War II, Wickes went on patrol missions in the Caribbean Sea. In late 1940, the ship was transferred to the Royal Navy and renamed HMS Montgomery.

Player Opinion

Performance

The Wickes takes a little getting used to. At first, its health is so lousy it's barely worth getting into combat. You gain some more durability with the B hull, at least. All the same, the Wickes is usually outperformed by the Wakatake in a torpedo knife-fight. An effective strategy is to weave side to side to keep up gun fire from all 4 turrets and launch both sides of torpedoes.

All in all, it's an okay ship when you get used to it, but can be a drag at first.

Pros:

  • Excellent maneuverability
  • Good gun traverse
  • Able to drop waves of torpedoes from both sides
  • Good concealment

Cons:

  • Gun reload is a little slow
  • Like all DDs, basically no armor
  • Guns are arranged such that you can only point a maximum of 3 guns at any target
  • Torpedoes are outranged by the IJN counterpart (Wakatake)
  • Effectively no AA
