RN Tigre - the worst ship in the game

[TIGER_TANK_1]

A ship is usually about compromises.

Some ships have a poor ammo placement, in exchange, they may receive good guns

Some ships have poor fire rate, in exchange they get one of the highest damaging guns for a destroyer.

Some ships does low damage, but they receive good fire rate and killer torpedos

Some ships have very high BR, but in turn, they have extremely high velocity guns and modern fire control systems.

Some ships have horrible ammo placement, bad armor and trash guns. In addition, they may not be able to actually elevate their guns enough for long range attacks. But they could do wonders against cruisuers.

But what if I told you that, it is actually possible to combine all the disadvantages, without any compensation whatsoever?

Meet the RN Tigre.

SItting at 4.3 BR.

It has very poor survivality, has a low crew count.

The guns actually reload slower than German 155mm guns and the damage is standard for a 3.3 destroyer.

The torpedos has low explosive mass, and are slow traveling, slower than the G7a.

Anti-air is not a field that this ship can get away either, with just 2x (!!) 40mm cannons.

The frontal magazine/shell room is just above the waterline with no protection whatsoever.\

This ship belongs at 3.3 BR.

I can honestly think of a few worse & horrible to play ships than the Leone class Destroyer (Looks at the Ciclone class Torpedo Boat for a close in BR Italian ship), one possible buff is they could be rated as a cruiser as they started life as scout cruisers before being re-rated as destroyers.

Or they could probably go down to 4.0 as they were originally added at 4.7 & at 4.0 there’s some better ships in the Italian tree & across other national trees.

On a sidenote, you could unmod the torpedoes, sure they’re short range at 4000 metres but man the speed increase is mean at iirc 41kts.

Idk I actuallly like Leone and Tigre more than any Soldati class destroyer. It feels a bit more survivable, while HE shells can do some damage, but you should get used to ballistics. Torpedoes are meaningless since I play naval RB. AA is questionable, I prefer 40 mm over multiple 20 mm Bredas which are useless most of time, also Tigre has 76 mm secondaries, which is nice.
Maybe it can get br decrease, especially if you compare it to postwar Impetuouso and Geniere from the same TT, as well as entire Soldati class, but not to 3.3 obviously.
PS and yeah the worst ship in the game is Cyclone class RN Ghibli from the Coastal TT of Italy. That thing is downgrated in every single way reserve destroyer, but for whatever reason placed at 4.0.
