Jäger - European Austro-Hungarian Tier IX Destroyer 1917 (Can be obtained free)

In 1917, Austria-Hungary began working on a project to build a destroyer leader. A total of eight leaders and 12 destroyers were planned for construction. Draft designs were submitted by Blohm & Voss and Ganz-Danubius. Several projects were developed by the Austro-Hungarian Marine Technical Committee. One of the projects presented in 1917 provided for the construction of a 2,000-ton torpedo boat. The ship was to have been equipped with 6-inch main battery guns. However, with the end of World War I and collapse of Austria-Hungary, the destroyers were never built.

 

 

SMS Jäger Commemorative Flag

The ship is named after representatives of one of the types of infantry in the Austro-Hungarian army, the Tyrolean rifle regiments. A distinctive feature of their uniform was a black felt hat, decorated with a green ribbon, a plume of black feathers, and an emblem with a golden hunting horn and a Tyrolean eagle.

 

 

Austria-Hungary Navy

Flag of the Imperial and Royal War Navy of Austria-Hungary. The design of the flag, approved in 1786 for the Austrian Navy (from 1867, Austria-Hungary), dates back to the ancient coat-of-arms of the Archduchy of Austria.

 Key Features

Key Features

Jäger is a stealthy torpedo destroyer. It has very low visibility and is armed with four triple-tube torpedo launchers with trademark "European" launch spreads: narrow and ultra-narrow. The torpedoes themselves are characterized by high speed and range, as well as fast reload, but low damage per torpedo.

The main battery is represented by three 150-mm guns with a short firing range and not the highest rate of fire. Jäger has a small amount of HP and weak anti-aircraft weapons as well. Available consumables: Repair Party and Engine Boost.
