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
The destroyer Mohawk was laid down as one of the Tribal class destroyers on July 16th, 1936 at the Southampton shipyard. Like all destroyers of the series, the Mohawk differed from most ships of her class in high firepower of the main calibre and good torpedo armament, while maintaining a displacement under the London Treaty - no more than 1,850 tons. Immediately after construction, Mohawk joined the destroyer flotilla in the Mediterranean. Before WWII started, the destroyer performed training, diplomatic and civilian missions in the Mediterranean Sea.
After the war began, Mohawk went back to her native waters, where on October 16th, 1939, during the first Luftwaffe raid on the British Isles, she suffered from a nearby bomb explosion, fragments of which killed 15 crew members and mortally wounded the captain. During World War II, the destroyer began active combat service in Norwegian waters and then in the Mediterranean against the Italian fleet. As part of the 14th destroyer flotilla, Mohawk participated in the defeat of the Italians at Cape Matapan, where destroyers sank the heavily damaged cruisers Pola and Zara, after rescuing the remnants of their crews. On the morning of April 16th, 1941, the 14th Flotilla attacked an Italian convoy near Tunisia. The crippled and sinking leader of the escort, the Italian destroyer Luca Tarigo, was able to launch two torpedoes at the Mohawk in manual mode. Both torpedoes reached their target - the first hit the stern and damaged the controls, the second led to the explosion of the stern boiler and the deck breaking in two. The destroyer sank almost immediately, killing 41 crew members.
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!

Any news about chally 3 soon @stona_Wt
The British Army don't even have that yet so its going to be years before WT has it...Japans Type 10 however ;)
Nope.
Imagine not putting in enough effort to make the waves cover the lower part of the ships
And now check any other devblog related to vessel. Like for real.
when are you going to release event's info?
Looks like this event will be export/lent focused. Might see some vehicles for minor nations.
Please return Naval back to the old system or give us a choice. Alot of us are not playing anymore since the update.
Hi! Where is the second Su-76B coupon I was supposed to receive (per your publication in this space) after completing the second Minotaur tank in the last crafting event? I spent some real money on that, so I am a little bit sad. Thanks in advance!
hope you dont put that MI-4V into the event
Events and contrived tasks (bomb this, play that, things you would not regularly do) cause players to min/max and play horribly. Those who are burned out from back to back events and don't want to deal with terrible teams focused on finishing some stupid task, have no choice but to avoid playing the game. For over a year, I have barely played the game because of bad players doing tasks. Only a minority enjoys these events. Make a separate server. You are slowly killing your game.
In these 6 years I have joined almost all the events. I could make a list of problems (BUGs) that affect your game, but I want to focus on the last one I encountered. Nobody plays naval battles yet, but let's get to the point with the p493 freccia vehicle premium event you have lowered the penetration of the shots from 40mm to 5mm making it unusable, normal ?? they would do more damage than hand-thrown stones. So I urge you to commit and fix the outrageous bugs that are present rather than ad...
