USA destroyer USS Johnston – Tier VIII
USS Johnston was a Fletcher-class destroyer of the United States Navy. Commissioned in 1943, Johnston would serve for only a year before being sunk during the Battle off Samar. During the battle off Samar, Johnston alongside Taffy 3, would stave off the approaching Imperial Japanese navy’s centre force.
In game, Johnston appears at T8 and offers unique gameplay to those who enjoy US destroyers. Unlike the tech-tree destroyers, Johnston has no access to Smoke generator or speed-boost. Instead, Johnston comes equipped with damage control, main battery reload booster, and torpedo reload booster, all in separate slots.
To complement these consumables, Johnston’s guns have an increased damage per shell and a faster reload on her main battery. Johnston’s torpedoes strike hard and have low detectability, however, they run slower when compared to other T8 torpedoes.
USS Johnston era un cacciatorpediniere di classe Fletcher della Marina degli Stati Uniti. Commissionato nel 1943, Johnston avrebbe prestato servizio solo per un anno prima di essere affondato durante la battaglia al largo di Samar. Durante la battaglia al largo di Samar, Johnston insieme a Taffy 3, avrebbe evitato l’avvicinarsi della forza centrale della marina imperiale giapponese. Anche se Johnston sarebbe perso in azione, i capitani possono prendere il comando di lei in World of Warships!
Nel nostro gioco, Johnston appare al T8 e offre un gameplay unico a coloro che amano i cacciatorpediniere statunitensi. A differenza dei cacciatorpediniere dell’albero tecnologico, Johnston non ha accesso al generatore di fumo o all’aumento di velocità. Invece, Johnston è dotato di controllo dei danni, super-cura, booster di ricarica della batteria principale e booster di ricarica dei siluri, tutti in slot separati.
A complemento di questi consumabili, le pistole di Johnston hanno un danno maggiore per proiettile e una ricarica più rapida della sua batteria principale. I siluri di Johnston colpiscono duramente e hanno una bassa rilevabilità, tuttavia, corrono più lentamente rispetto ad altri siluri T8.
