World of Warships Supertest: Pan-European Tier IX Premium Destroyer Jäger

Historical background

Jäger is based on a design of 2 000 tons”Torpedofahrzeug” (torpedo ship) from the Austro-Hungarian Navy. This design was presented on October 1917 and was armed with four 150 mm deck-mounted guns and three twin torpedo launchers. This armament was completed by four 70 mm and two 8 mm AA guns.

In World of Warships, the design was modified a little bit in terms of its armament. One of the 150 mm guns positioned between the second and third funnel was replaced with an additional torpedo launcher. Also, all torpedo launchers were upgraded to triple launchers, turning her into a torpedo-focused destroyer.

For the classic reminder, this is a ship in testing, anything can change so don’t look at her like she would already be released.

The Armor

Personal Opinion

Right now, Jäger looks quite promising as a torpedo-focused destroyer, able to drop salvos of twelve torpedoes one after the other at a fast rate. On top of that, the torpedoes have a great firing range and very high speed, giving the ship some pretty scary area denial capacities. As a cherry on top, she even gets amazing concealment of 5.4 km which allows her to easily sneak around and helps to compensate for her laughable firepower.
