Hector Commemorative Flag

Hector is the heir to the throne of Troy and the hero of the Trojan War. He was the leader of the Trojans and their allies in battle. The Trojan people revered Hector as a god, his exploits are sung in Homer's Iliad.

 

Key Features

Hector is armed with fourteen (14) 133 mm guns positioned seven (7) turrets, as well as (4) four-tube torpedo launchers, similar in characteristics to those aboard cruiser Neptune. Her torpedoes can be launched one at a time.

The main battery has a high rate of fire yet low damage and armor penetration values; the torpedoes have comfortable torpedo launching angles.

The cruiser has good concealment and maneuverability, but low HP and weak armor.

Consumables: Damage Control Party and Repair Party with standard settings, a Crawler Smoke Generator, and the choice between Defensive AA Fire and Hydroacoustic Search.
