Overview

The Destroyer is an original navy unit added in the Naval Update. Just like a Battleship, it has two turrets but a thinner hull, although, one of the guns is a dedicated Anti-Air turret. Destroyers can be made in a Naval Shipyard for $90. The Destroyer is one of the only two naval units that can attack Submarines, with the other being other submarines.

Usage

Destroyers are a middleweight option between the Battleship and the Gunboat, possessing decent damage output and speed. They are also armed with a unique anti-aircraft gun that deals high damage against enemy planes. Consequently, many view Destroyers as versatile, jack-of-all-trades ships that can be either used independently, as a large flotilla, or as part of a mixed fleet.

Strategies

• In the early game, Destroyers can be used to harass enemy Oil Rigs.
• Destroyers are not to be underestimated when used in large numbers; their speed and decent damage output can easily overwhelm a small fleet of larger warships.
• Build Destroyers when the enemy has Submarines researched.
  • In large Conquest games, allocate one player to build exclusively Destroyers so that enemy Submarine fleets are less of a concern.
• In a mixed fleet, Destroyers can be used to screen for mines and tank hits so that your larger ships conserve their health.

Trivia

• The Destroyer is the only naval unit that has an anti-aircraft gun.
• The destroyer is the only unit that has two type of guns. (These guns being normal and anti-aircraft.)
• Destroyers in real life are known for having devastating torpedoes and are commonly used to destroy enemy battleships and submarines; hence, they are the only unit besides the Submarine itself to be able to attack enemy submarines.
• Its stats and price was changed during the Naval Balance update.
