Polish Ships

[Duck Person]

Are there any Polish ships in the game?

[Jackson]

Yes, Błyskawica. She's a premium tier 7 available for 51,000 coal or 5100 doubloons.
Gryf, the tier 1 ship of the Pan European line which is free.

also the Grom, Blyskawica's sister ship is in the European line.

For new players, might be worth noting that if you look at the "flags" customisation screen for pan-national ships, you can swap out the default pan-national flag for that ship's country-flag.

Cool little detail.

Not just new players, well over 1k hours in and i had never clicked that little Navy tab before. Thanks

Don’t forget the Gdańsk! Top of the tree in the Euro gunboat line and the pick of the bunch.

And the (premium) Orkan too - T8 discount store Smaland.

Is the Euro gunboat line good? I might grind it next if it's worth the effort

Personally prefer the Halland line but they are decent enough. Not the easiest to play but you do at least get smoke for those "oops" moments.

OK, that "flag trick" in the Customizations is pretty cool,
I never knew about that feature, either.

It works for Pan-Asian,
Pan-American,
and EU ships,
all their national flags (or equivalent naval ensigns) are there in the Naval flags.

I discovered it on the Commonwealth ships, but most of their flags are just copies of the Royal Navy one

I think the Euro gunboat line, whilst a bit variable, is excellent. Especially Gdańsk.
The short duration/rapid cool-down radar from tier 8 doesn’t work in the same way as USS Black radar where you would trap a ship well within range and kill it before the radar runs out. But it’s long ranged and is great as a search radar - pop it early to find a DD and get a few shots on it, hopefully from your cruisers. 1 minute later the radar is back off cool-down and you do it again etc. Torps are fast and weak - good for damaging DD’s but not nailing BBs. All about the farming after the DD is dead, good ballistics and fire starting.

But they’re mostly big clunky DD’s with no hydro. Watch out for torps!

Because at the time, those nations were still part of the Empire. So any naval ensigns will show that.
