U.K.DestroyerWG Original

Overview

A destroyer commander whose Rammin' Spikes trait increases ramming damage dealt and reduces ramming damage taken. Burny Dakka raises destroyer HE fire chance and main gun HE shell damage, but your destroyer takes more incoming damage. Pair it with Look at Me Now, Perceptive and Quick Fix.

Commander Bio

Grotmaz Smart is a maverick naval commander renowned for unconventional tactics and razor-sharp instincts in high-pressure sea engagements. A Wargaming original character blending irreverent wit with tactical brilliance, Smart excels in destroyer combat through daring maneuvers and calculated risk-taking. His unpredictable, innovative style has earned him legendary status among competitive players, though he remains controversial-deeply valued by those who prize tactical innovation over rigid naval tradition.
