ST, European destroyers

A researchable European Tier I cruiser, Tier II-X destroyers, as well as a European special Tier X destroyer ‘Småland’ will be added to the game in the upcoming super test session. Polish, Austro-Hungarian and Swedish ships are among them.

Currently, the concept of European destroyers brings the following features:

• Very fast torpedoes with relatively low damage and long range;
• Artillery is similar to that of American destroyers: quite effective in close combat but weaker than that of artillery-focused destroyers;
• The speed of the new destroyers is relatively low: 35 knots at Tiers VII — X. It can be increased by an Engine Boost consumable found in a dedicated slot, giving a standard bonus of 8%;
• Starting from Tier VII, the AA defense of European destroyers has a large area of effect and deals good damage;
• Presence of Repair Party: at Tiers V — VIII it is the same as on British destroyers, and at Tiers IX and X this consumable will be active for 4 seconds longer;
• Starting from Tier VIII, ships are equipped with Surveillance Radar in a dedicated slot. It has an action time of 15 seconds and a range of up to 7.5 km;
• Lack of Smoke Generator and relatively high detection range: when fighting with other destroyers for key areas it’s better to rely on Surveillance Radar and torpedoes.
