As things stand right now, the Commandant Dominé deserves to be removed from the game if it isn’t reworked.
First it was added as a “frigate”, so I don’t know where the devs saw that, because all documentation about the Dominé class it as an “aviso”, also known as “sub-chasers” in game.
Being a “”“frigate”“” it has a bluewater spawn, which make this thing, only equipped with a single 105mm and 40mm, quite trash at range. And its subpar speed mean you’re not doing sh*t anyways because by the time you get within range of things you can actually damage, the battle is over.
The battle rating is not an issue, being at the same BR as the other avisos in the french tree (Amiens and Arras). Those two have the right classification and a coastal spawn, making them playable. But the poor old Commandant Dominé has to suffer with an undeserved bluewater spawn…

i think historically, sub chasers were no different than a destroyer. they were just purpose built with the equipment to haunt underwater vessels. so yea, frigate is the wrong classification, but destroyers on their own were meant to escort bigger ships when traveling over open ocean.

dont worry, a moderator will be with you soon, telling you to throw this in the suggestion section, where you need to show atleast 2 books of evidence that its not a frigate, but a destroyer class, and close this topic. welcome to the war thunder forums, kid.

Yeah. I’ve been using it for the last stretch of the event, and by the time you’ve gotten anywhere near to the battle (If you weren’t uptiered to 4.3 and barraged to death in DD spawn) it’s already at least halfway over.
At least the AA armament is decent against smaller coaster vehicles, otherwise it wouldn’t have a single saving grace…
I’d honestly say it should probably be 2.7 or 3.0, feeling more like an Aconit sidegrade than anything and certainly worse than La Surprise at the same BR/Tier.
