Orzel - Tier X European Polish Premium Submarine

Lead member of her class of two submarines built for the Polish Republic in the Netherlands during the 1930s. With the outbreak of the Second World War, Orzeł operated in the Baltic before being interned in Estonia, but her crew took back the submarine and sailed to the United Kingdom without navigational aids. She would serve alongside the Royal Navy in the Norwegian Campaign before going missing in 1940."

Key Features and Battle Tips

Key Features

• High surface speed: Enhanced mobility with access to the Engine Boost consumable.
• Good survivability: Equipped with a unique variant of the Torpedo Defense System consumable.
• Flexible torpedo layout: Rotating torpedo launchers provide wide firing angles, backed by numerous torpedo groups.
• No Hydrophone access: Lacks the traditional Hydrophone consumable, requiring extra situational awareness.
• Slow ping velocity: Requires precise leading when targeting fast, maneuverable ships.

Battle Tips

To make full use of her strengths, aim to spend most of your time on the surface. That is where her speed shines and where you can access your full torpedo firing angles.

However, staying surfaced makes you easier to spot, and without access to Hydrophone to detect nearby threats, you must rely on smart positioning. This is where her signature consumable comes into play: a special version of the Torpedo Defense System.

Timing this consumable correctly reduces incoming torpedo and depth-charge damage by 70% for a short duration. Use this resilience to make daring, aggressive plays and survive close-range brawls that would sink most other submarines outright.
