General information

The RN Tigre was a Leone-class destroyer built for the Regia Marina between 1917-1924. The class consisted of 5 ordered destroyers, out of which two were cancelled and only three were made. Tigre was last to be laid down on 23rd January 1922, and launched on 10th October 1924. The initial designation of the Leone-class was scout cruiser, but they were later re-designated as destroyers. They were armed with four twin 120 mm Schneider-Canet-Armstrong 1918/19 guns and two single 76 mm Ansaldo 76/40 Model 1916 guns for anti-aircraft duty. Two triple 450 mm torpedo launchers were fitted amidships. The Leone-class were deployed to Italian East Africa at the naval base in Massawa, Eritrea. Tigre saw very little action and together with her sisters, that were either sunk or scuttled, ended up being scuttled off the coast of Arabia by her own crew on 3rd April 1941 after being pursued by British aircraft.

Introduced in Update "Ground Breaking", RN Tigre is an Italian premium destroyer. Being a WWI design, she is very lacklustre when compared to other ships on same battle rating. Her torpedoes are quite fast with average payload but very limited range of 4 km which make their use very situational. The main armament is also unique in that the ship has access to APHE rounds unlike any other destroyer armed with calibres smaller than 150 mm. However, the rate of fire of 7 rounds per minute is lower than contemporaries. The magazines of the ship are located above the waterline right under the turrets, making it very vulnerable to fatal detonation.
