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

At first glance, Wickes might appear a downgrade from Sampson, particularly given her low health pool. While she is slightly more fragile than her predecessor, she makes up for it by retaining Sampson’s handling characteristics while gaining about 5 knots worth of top speed.

More importantly than that, Wickes moves up from Sampson’s twin double-tube launchers on each side of the ship to twin triple-tube launchers. Combined with the better damage from her upgraded Torpedo module, it is a huge increase in firepower. Wickes is a tremendous threat to enemy capital ships she's allowed to close with; however, now she can simply wipe them out with a single well-aimed salvo of torpedoes as opposed to Sampson’s steady "death by a thousand cuts" method. Her main battery is virtually unchanged from Sampson; the guns are the same, and she retains the unusual gun placement that prevents her from getting more than three barrels on target at once.

Overall, Wickes packs more firepower into a hull that is just as fragile as her predecessor, while continuing to encourage clever positioning and sneak attacks from behind cover in order to maximize damage from her deadly torpedo armament.

Pros:

Excellent maneuverability.
Quick turret traverse speed.
Able to drop waves of torpedoes from both sides.
Low detection range.

Cons:

Gun reload is a on the slow side.
Virtually no armor (as is typical of destroyers).
Guns are arranged such that only 3 can be brought to bear on a target at a time.
Torpedoes are out-ranged by both German and Japanese counterparts (G-101 and Wakatake, respectively).
Anti-aircraft armament is non-existent.
Even less health than Sampson.

Research

In an odd twist for American destroyers, the best place to spend initial experience gains in Wickes is in the upgraded Torpedo module. Hull (B) provides a smidgeon more health and should be taken next. The Fire Control System module upgrade to boost her gun range can be saved for last.

Optimal Configuration

Upgrades

Main Armaments Modification 1 or Magazine Modification 1 are the best picks for Upgrade Slot 1. Propulsion Modification 1 should be plugged into Upgrade Slot 4 to reduce the chance of Wickes having her engine knocked out while under heavy fire.

Commander Skills

Priority skills for any Wickes commander are Preventative Maintenance at Level 1, Last Stand at Level 2, Basic Firing Training at Level 3, and Concealment Expert at Level 4.

Consumables

Wickes can equip both Damage Control Party and Engine Boost. The premium version of the former is recommended; the premium version of the latter is nice to have, but not necessary.

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.

-''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, ''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.
