Icarus
What a waste, Gallant for Brit DD is much better. Same boat, Icarus is nerfed version.

Icarus:
+100 more hitpoints
+300 more damage per torpedo
more guns range, 11.6 km

But overall it seems they're very similar, and not many advantages on Icarus side i see for now.

I have the Gallant, and got the Icarus tonight, oh man. IE, Gallant has 8k torps at 60, Icarus has 6k torps at 58 I think. And the detection of the Icarus is around 6k, where as the Gallant detection is 6 with 8k torps. Guns are the same, 5 sec reload. Terrible nerf IMO. Also, they lookidentical. And the Gal has better armor. Rudder shift, Gal 3, Ic 4.2, and it goes on. I think it is disgraceful. Remember the Graf Spee campaign? That's a good boat to grind a campaign for. Seem's thing's are gettin worse.

Ok, thanks for the headsup, didnt see that, premiums usually dont have upgrades. Just upped it, rather have the Gallant, even though Is has better gun range. Gal's torps, agility, and concealment are better.

1) It's not a premium, it would become tech tree ship after upgrade.
2) It's not that rare on premiums to have alternative modules: Anshan, CVs, Harekaze, Lo Yang. Mostly DDs with 2 torpedo modules for different playstyles.

It has the premium ring? Same as Gallant etc.. As I said, usually. ;0)
I just noticed, it has more life boats than Gal, lol
Gal is still a stat better boat.

It's temporarily because they don't have tech tree yet, technically they're almost premiums for now but it would be changed.

> I just noticed, it has more life boats than Gal, lol
Yeah, surely that would help :steamhappy:
