Soon, there will be a new researchable European tech tree from tier I cruiser and then tier II-X destroyers. 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.
Presto ci sarà un nuovo albero tecnologico europeo ricercabile dall’incrociatore di livello I e poi dai cacciatorpediniere di livello II-X. Le navi polacche, austro-ungariche e svedesi sono tra queste.
Attualmente, il concetto di cacciatorpediniere europei presenta le seguenti caratteristiche:
- Siluri molto veloci con danni relativamente bassi e lunga distanza;
- L’artiglieria è simile a quella dei cacciatorpediniere americani: abbastanza efficace nel combattimento ravvicinato ma più debole di quella dei cacciatorpediniere focalizzati sull’artiglieria;
- La velocità dei nuovi cacciatorpediniere è relativamente bassa: 35 nodi ai livelli VII – X. Può essere aumentata da un consumabile Engine Boost trovato in uno slot dedicato, dando un bonus standard dell’8%;
- A partire dal livello VII, la difesa antiaerea dei cacciatorpediniere europei ha una vasta area d’effetto e infligge danni ingenti;
- Presenza del partito di riparazione: ai livelli V – VIII è lo stesso dei cacciatorpediniere britannici, e ai livelli IX e X questo consumabile sarà attivo per 4 secondi in più;
- A partire dal livello VIII, le navi sono dotate di radar di sorveglianza in uno slot dedicato. Ha un tempo di azione di 15 secondi e un raggio di azione fino a 7,5 km;
- Mancanza di generatore di fumo e raggio di rilevamento relativamente elevato: quando si combatte con altri cacciatorpediniere per aree chiave è meglio fare affidamento su radar di sorveglianza e siluri.
