Orzel - Tier X European Polish Premium Submarine 1939

The lead submarine of her class constructed in the Netherlands for the Polish Navy in the interwar period. At the outbreak of World War II, she was interned in Estonia but her crew escaped and navigated the submarine to the United Kingdom, arriving in October 1939. Serving alongside the Royal Navy during the Norwegian campaign, Orzeł sank German troopship Rio de Janeiro. She disappeared while on patrol in June 1940, and the cause of her loss remains uncertain."

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.
