HMS Mohawk, a Tribal-class destroyer, comes as one of the prizes of the “Export Order” craft event!

HMS Mohawk, destroyer, Britain, rank II. Premium

Pros

• Excellent main calibre suite
• Premium bonuses 

Cons

• Few torpedoes  

In our game, the destroyer Mohawk will become a premium British ship at rank II in the bluewater fleet tech tree, and you will be able to get her by participating in the upcoming Export Order game event. War Thunder fleet commanders are already familiar with the Tribal-class destroyers from the very able destroyer Eskimo. The main advantage of the entire class is the multiple main calibre, which on the Mohawk is represented by eight 120mm guns in four gun mounts. Tribal destroyers feature a fairly large ammunition capacity for the main guns, consisting of semi-armour-piercing and several types of high-explosive fragmentation shells, including those with a remote fuse. At the same time, the main guns have a good traverse speed, which allows you to fire while actively maneuvering.

Unlike the Eskimo, which has only three main battery mounts and a reinforced air defense battery, the Mohawk has slightly more modest anti-aircraft artillery - one quad 40mm Pom-Pom mount and two .50 machine gun quad mounts. From secondary weapons, a commander can take into battle either torpedoes in a four-tube launcher, or depth charges with two bomb launchers on the sides and one bomb release device.

The Mohawk is a very well balanced ship of its type with an emphasis on multiple gun armament. Satisfying speed and maneuverability, large crew and excellent main battery guns - these are the qualities for which you will love the Mohawk! In terms of gameplay, it is similar to the artillery specialized destroyers of Japan and Italy, but lacks one of the main drawbacks of such ships - the poor location of fuel tanks along the sides above the waterline and a tendency to frequent fires.

However, the Mohawk has a weak spot - this is her stern. The elements of the steering group, half of the fuel tanks, water pumps and gun-magazines of the two main-calibre turrets are quite densely located here. Hitting this area always has consequences, and the steering gear and transmission are usually the first to suffer.

In battle, Mohawk is always at the forefront of the attack - she is excellent for capturing points and passing from the flanks, effectively destroying other destroyers and bursting the boats of the enemy's vanguard. The ship has no striking flaws, but there are two striking advantages at once: powerful and fast-turning guns, as well as premium status, which allows you to comfortably and interestingly earn Silver Lions and upgrade British bluewater ships from ranks I to III. Get ready for the "Export Order" craft event and take some time to get a wonderful premium destroyer for your collection!
