Overview

Tátra is a Tier II European stealth-leaning destroyer with strong surface detection (5.5 km). The kit opens detection windows most peer DDs cannot match, so her value is contesting caps from concealment edges where the detection band holds. Standout traits: top-decile torpedo range in T2 DDs (8 km) and top-decile fast reload in T2 DDs (3.5 s).

Positioning

Hold concealment edges on the contested cap at 5.5 km detection. The band opens windows for unspotted torpedo drops and clean repositions; lean into the gaps your peer DDs cannot read, and back out before detection closes. Your guns lose penetration at range, so aim AP at broadsides you can still citadel and put HE into superstructures and upper-hull sections, rather than the bow-in or belt armor your shells bounce and shatter on. Shooting from the cloud gives you away at 2 km, and a destroyer here is spotted at about 5.6 km, so you see it coming with roughly 3.6 km to spare. Vision is mutual: past the 2 km guaranteed ring you cannot see out either, and nothing in her kit sees through it, so pop the smoke where someone is already lighting the enemy or you will sit in it with nothing to shoot. With 3 s on the rudder she starts turning late, so the angle has to be set before you are shot at.

Potato Avoidance

Burning the 5.5 km concealment advantage on guns

Every salvo lights you up and gives back the detection edge that makes the kit work; reserve guns for finishing damage on already-spotted ships, and prioritize torpedo drops you can fire while undetected.

Signature Traits

Engine Boost

+8% speed (about +2.6 kt), 120 s duration. Engine Boost consumable gives a small speed nudge - useful for closing a gap or steadying a torpedo run, not for running anything down.

Lingering smoke

109 s smoke cloud linger, best of T2 DDs. Each puff stays up longer after you stop laying it, holding the shield.

Long-range torps

8 km torpedo range, top decile of T2 DDs.

Fast reload

3.5 s reload, top decile of T2 DDs. Top-tier salvo cycle.

Visible torps

1.2 km torpedo detect, worst of T2 DDs. Spotted early, so targets get a long look and room to turn out.

Sluggish rudder

3 s rudder shift, worst of T2 DDs. Hard to dodge incoming AP; lean on island cover.

Acquisition

How to get Tátra

Tátra is available in the Area-Denial Destroyers branch of the Pan-Europe Tech Tree for 13,000 credits after researching it in the branch. Known module upgrades cost up to 2,600 credits.

Fire resistance
ƒDoes not reduce the damage a burning fire does per second: replay-measured burn ticks run at the full rate on every ship. By elimination it lowers how often hits set you on fire; ignition-rate replay data is consistent with that but too confounded by attacker mix to measure the reduction directly.

Fire duration30 s
Fire damage
ƒEach fire ticks 0.3% of max HP per second for the full 30 s, so one unattended fire burns 9% of the pool (729 HP on this ship). 4 fire points can burn at once. Verified against measured burn ticks in replay data.

Magazine HP

ƒEstimate of WG's in-game value; matches the in-game port screen within ±5%. Saturation: most targets only intersect one hull section, so the sim transfers ~1/3 of the warhead alpha (2/3 when the warhead blast >= 5000 and the burst reaches a second section).

Flooding chance
ƒRead straight from the game's own data: this torpedo carries a flooding-chance value of 0.63 per hit, shown as 0.63×100=63%. Torpedo flood values above 100% are normal: in battle the base chance is scaled down by the target's torpedo protection (the Torp Reduction stat on its Survivability card) and any flood-resistance modifiers, so a value above 100% keeps flooding likely even through partial protection.

Saturation cap = HP a section can absorb before further damage to it is reduced (the "bow-tank" effect). Citadel pool is ~165k on every ship (effectively no cap); damage is gated by pen/over-pen multipliers instead. Superstructure saturates fast but HE always pens regardless of the plate thickness. Rudder (and other module HPs) are a separate pool from ship HP: damaging a module doesn't drain ship HP. Incapacitated modules like the rudder and engine are restored by DCP, but secondary and AA mounts destroyed at 0 HP stay out for the rest of the battle.
