Please note that all information in the development blog is preliminary. Notes on tier X Destroyer Daring: this top-tier British Destroyer is good for killing both enemy Destroyers by gunfire and capital ships by torpedoes. Even with IFHE, those guns can't pen 25mm plating (without it you can't even pen other DDs) so with that and the improved ricochet angles in mind, it would seem the top two RN DDs will be AP monsters and the HE will only be useful for setting fires. 11:30 Development Blog ST 0.10.3, new ships American Tier VIII battleship Constellation, British Tier X destroyer Druid, Italian Tier X cruiser Napoli, and Commonwealth Tier VII battleship Yukon have been added to the game for testing. Destroyers to notice: tier VIII Lightning is obviously overpowered, whereas tier IX Jutland and tier X Daring are great at the very least. It has the highest torpedo damage and speed in. The RN 113mm AP is short-fused, meaning it only needs 0.01s to arm rather than the 0.033s of regular AP, so you shouldn't get as many over-pens when firing at other DDs. Shimakaze (Japanese): The Shimakaze is a top-tier Japanese destroyer known for its incredible torpedo armament. HE should usually be the superior choice, though, for the sake of consistency. I'd expect British AP to be pretty situational in this sense - a broadside DD that can't really angle (island blocking the turn, accelerating from full stop after just being lit up by Radar, corraled by torps) could eat a lot of damage if you aim well. Low caliber AP (that actually arms on DD plating) can do wonders against enemy DDs (Akizuki and her higher tier sisters can often gain an additional edge in a DD duel this way) but it's harder and less consistent - you get overpens if you hit the wrong part of the ship and bounces if the enemy angles.
