Player Opinion
Performance
Błyskawica is a stalwart ship that can fill the niche of a premium credit earner for aspiring destroyer captains. Sporting several 120mm guns in fast turning turrets and a reasonable set of torpedoes, she is effective whether fighting other destroyers at close range, performing stealth torpedo attacks on enemy capital ships, or harassing them with long-range fire.
Once her commander has the Level 4 skill Concealment Expert, Błyskawica’s detection radius is low enough that she is capable of the ninja torpedo tactics that characterize the Japanese destroyer line. Her main battery is strong enough to do her well in gunnery engagements with opposing destroyers, especially if they are already down hit points from previous engagements. Błyskawica’s commander can also pick up the Level 4 skill Advanced Firing Training to extend her main battery range significantly; her shells are comfortable to fire at such ranges — with similar shell performance to Soviet counterparts Minsk and Leningrad — but they will struggle to do consistent damage to larger targets. The best she can hope for against enemy battleships and heavy cruisers is to light fires for extra damage output.
As is typical of destroyers, her anti-aircraft suite is abysmal. While she packs a top speed in excess of most other same-tier rivals, Błyskawica’s handling is a mixed bag; she has a good turning radius, but has the least-responsive rudder of all Tier VII destroyers. This particular flaw can be mitigated somewhat with the Steering Gears Modification 2 upgrade, but it makes Vigilance an attractive Level 3 skill for potential commanders lest she blunder into torpedoes and not have enough time to swing out of the way.
Whether played as a gunboat or a torpedo boat, Błyskawica is a very balanced ship that can dish out the damage and rake in the credits.
LittleWhiteMouse's Premium Ship Review: Błyskawica from the NA forums
Pros:
- Surprisingly potent guns; good chance of fire when using high explosive shells.
- Long firing range at 12km.
- Guns have acceptable turning and reload time, similar to Soviet destroyers.
- Large health pool for a Tier VII destroyer.
- Solid concealment values for her tier.
- Torpedoes deal sufficient damage.
Cons:
- Rather slow torpedoes with poor firing arc.
- Weak anti-aircraft armament; main guns are not dual-purpose.
- Poor rudder shift time.
- Large turning circle radius.
- Torpedo range is within a few hundred meters of her base detection radius.
- The only Polish ship in game at present, so she can't be used for captain training.

Commander Skills
Key skills for Błyskawica commanders include Level 4's Concealment Expert, Level 3's Survivability Expert, and Level 2's Last Stand. When up-tiered into Tier IX games, Błyskawica will need all the extra concealment she can get to avoid being focus-fired by the enemy team; Survivability Expert will provide additional health in case it happens anyway. Last Stand will keep her engines and rudder functioning even while under sustained fire. Skills with additional utility include Demolition Expert at Level 3, Adrenaline Rush and Expert Marksman at Level 2, and Advanced Firing Training at Level 4.

Consumables
Błyskawica has access to the three standard destroyer consumables: Damage Control Party , Plantilla:Smoke Generator, and Engine Boost . Premium versions of each are recommended. Cost-conscious captains can likely skip the premium version of Engine Boost and not notice a significant difference.
Camouflage
As a premium ship, Błyskawica comes included with Type 10 camouflage that lowers her detection radius, reduces the accuracy of incoming shells, and increases the amount of experience she earns.
