Through the Spy Glass: Vampire II

Vampire II is an Australian destroyer that was laid down in 1952. She is based on the Daring class—an advanced British destroyer design from the World War II era. Unlike her British counterparts, Vampire II was armed with specialized guns designed for tropical conditions. In 1990, the ship was converted into a museum located in Sydney. 

In Legends, Vampire II is a Commonwealth Legendary Tier destroyer. She boasts one of the highest damage-per-minute rates among all destroyers in the game, and this firepower is further enhanced by improved ricochet angles for her AP shells. Her other key features include excellent concealment, high maneuverability, long-duration Smoke Generator, and Sonar for detecting enemies and torpedoes.

Hector Waller is a perfect fit as Commander of Vampire II, offering strong damage reduction abilities while also enhancing her offensive capabilities. You can add this Commander to your roster during the current update by completing the Oceania's Spectre campaign with an active Admiralty Backing. 

His Hard Over Hec base trait reduces rudder-shift time by up to 5% and increases incoming fire dispersion by up to 3%. For his skills, we recommend the following: 

• Observant Rage, reducing your destroyer main battery reload time by up to 5% and increasing torpedo acquisition range by up to 12% at the cost of increasing rudder-shift time by up to 10%. 
• Look at Me Now, improving ship concealment by up to 6%. 
• Perceptive, increasing visibility of enemy torpedoes by up to 5%, reducing incoming damage to your destroyer by up to 3%, and indicating the direction to the closest enemy ship. 
• Scrap Iron Flotilla (unique skill), reducing incoming damage to your destroyer by up to 0.4% per 1% HP lost and increasing your destroyer main battery traverse speed by up to 0.06°/s per 1% HP lost. 
• Steadfast Soldier (unique Legendary skill), auto-repairing your destroyer when HP is equal to or less than 30% and increasing your destroyer HP by up to 8%; reducing your destroyer's engine incapacitation and steering gear impairment chances by up to 60%. 

These inspirations will make you even harder to destroy: 

• Carlo Bergamini, reducing incoming damage from shells, torpedoes, and bombs to your destroyer by up to 0.3% per 1% HP lost. 
• Vladimir Trubetskoy, reducing incoming damage to your destroyer by up to 8%.
