Key Features

• Hull: Similar to Visby, but with a focus on torpedo armament.
• Torpedo Armament: Two triple launchers with very fast, long-range torpedoes and the signature super-narrow European spread.
• Speed and Concealment: High speed and good concealment to complement her playstyle.
• Consumables: Equipped with a Repair Party consumable.
• Main Battery: Weak, with three single 120mm guns in slow-traversing turrets.
• Survivability: Small hitpoint pool and lack of a Smoke Generator consumable.
• Torpedo Damage: Low torpedo alpha to keep her damage output in check.

 

Gameplay

• High Speed: Use Kalmar’s high top speed to reach unexpected angles for launching torpedo attacks.
• Torpedo Attacks: The speed and range of her torpedoes will help ensure reliable hits on enemy ships.
• Concealment: Utilize her good concealment to avoid detection and keep enemy destroyers at bay.
• Repair Party: If spotted and engaged, use the Repair Party to recover some damage.
• Avoid Gunfights: Avoid sustained fights with enemy gunboats due to the poor performance of Kalmar’s main battery.
