Overview

Burrows is a Legendary American super-radar destroyer (10 km) and an equal 10 km torpedo-detection radius so the same scan that lights an enemy DD also paints incoming torps. The kit isn't stealth-and-ambush -- the radar IS the kit; she takes caps by lighting up the contest from inside her own scan, not by sneaking in under detection. AA (378 AA DPS at 5 km, +100% Defensive AA flak burst) ranks 2 of 14 in Legendary DDs: heavy enough to make a careless strike expensive, though not the umbrella that shuts a carrier out of her grid. Standout traits: best heavy AP shells in Legendary DDs (3,400, 1st of 11) and best HE alpha in Legendary DDs (2,200, 1st of 14). The trade is worst AP arming threshold in Legendary DDs (23 mm, 11th of 11).

Positioning

Hold a flank position your team can rotate behind, not a center lane your team has to defend you in. Shooting from the cloud gives you away at 2.8 km, and a destroyer here is spotted at about 7.1 km, so you see it coming with roughly 4.3 km to spare. Vision is mutual: past the 2 km guaranteed ring you cannot see out either, but your own Radar (10 km) reads through it, so you can find targets instead of borrowing them. Enemy sonar (about 4.9 km) and radar (about 9.9 km) read straight in regardless. With 5 s on the rudder she starts turning late, so the angle has to be set before you are shot at.

Potato Avoidance

Idling beam-on in an obvious torpedo lane

Unspotted is not unseen: once the enemy has reason to think a destroyer is holding this cap they will put torpedoes into the water you are probably in, and one fish the size of your own (25,000 damage against 23,900 HP) is more than your whole health bar. Keep way on, cross lanes bow or stern first, and never sit still beam-on to a chokepoint you would torpedo yourself.

Signature Traits

Surveillance Radar

10 km range, 12 s duration. Detects all enemy ships within a fixed radius regardless of line-of-sight. A short scan - long enough to break a smoke camp or call a target for the team, not to hold a cap.

Hull dimensions

Length x beam at the waterline, with the hull's draft where the client carries one. Ships whose client entry holds only the 260 x 20 m placeholder use a curated real-world figure instead, and any ship we have no trustworthy size for omits this row rather than print the placeholder. Length matters when dodging torpedoes; beam and draft shape how hard the ship is to hit.

Fire resistance

top hull: 1 − 0.6004 fire coefficient = 40%. Does not reduce the damage a burning fire does per second: replay-measured burn ticks run at the full rate on every ship. By elimination it lowers how often hits set you on fire; ignition-rate replay data is consistent with that but too confounded by attacker mix to measure the reduction directly.

Fire duration30 s

Fire damage

One unattended fire: 0.3% of max HP per second × 30 s = 9% of the pool = 9% × 23,900 HP = 2,151 HP on this ship. 4 fire points can burn at once. Verified against measured burn ticks in replay data.

Flood duration40 s

Flood damage

One unattended flood: 0.25% of max HP per second × 40 s = 10% of the pool = 10% × 23,900 HP = 2,390 HP on this ship. Verified against measured flood ticks in replay data.

0.25% of HP per second

Torp Reduction

1 − 0.333 hull torpedo-damage coefficient / 0.333 unprotected baseline = 0%. Reduces torpedo hit damage. Replay data shows no effect on floods: flood ticks run at the full rate and flood frequency does not decline with protection.

Steering gear HP

Durability of the steering gears. As this pool drops, hits are likelier to jam the rudder; unlike most modules the steering can be knocked out and repaired but is never permanently destroyed.

Bow section HP

Damage saturation pool for the bow: penetrations here deal their normal share until roughly this much damage has landed on the section, then further hits on it deal half damage. Our replay analysis shows the step: once a section is saturated, a penetration there deals exactly half (Plymouth AP 1,125 to 563). Across 415 such steps in 180 battles, about 3 in 4 later penetrations on that ship dealt half; the rest landed on sections not yet saturated. A larger pool keeps that part of the ship taking full damage for longer; a small one saturates fast and protects the ship's HP.

2,400

Casemate section HP

This section has no practical saturation cap: every hit here keeps dealing its normal share of damage (on most ships the citadel; on many destroyers the casemate).

No saturation cap

Hull section HP

Our replay analysis shows the step: once a section is saturated, a penetration there deals exactly half (Plymouth AP 1,125 to 563). Across 415 such steps in 180 battles, about 3 in 4 later penetrations on that ship dealt half; the rest landed on sections not yet saturated. A larger pool keeps that part of the ship taking full damage for longer; a small one saturates fast and protects the ship's HP.

Superstructure section HP

Damage saturation pool for the superstructure: penetrations here deal their normal share until roughly this much damage has landed on the section, then further hits on it deal half damage. Our replay analysis shows the step: once a section is saturated, a penetration there deals exactly half (Plymouth AP 1,125 to 563). Across 415 such steps in 180 battles, about 3 in 4 later penetrations on that ship dealt half; the rest landed on sections not yet saturated. The superstructure is not exempt: it saturates exactly like the bow and stern, so shells aimed at it stop dealing full damage once this pool is used up. A larger pool keeps that part of the ship taking full damage for longer; a small one saturates fast and protects the ship's HP.

2,600

Stern section HP

Damage saturation pool for the stern: penetrations here deal their normal share until roughly this much damage has landed on the section, then further hits on it deal half damage. Our replay analysis shows the step: once a section is saturated, a penetration there deals exactly half (Plymouth AP 1,125 to 563).

Turret traverse arcs

How far each mount can train, in degrees to either side of the mount's own facing. A rear turret with ±150° leaves a 60° blind wedge over the bow; one-sided arcs are wing mounts that cover a single side. The data does not say which way each mount faces, so the arcs are listed per mount without bow/stern angles.

2x ±130°

Guns to bear

180° − 150° (the most restricted aft-facing mount's arc) = 30° off bow; 180° − 130° (the most restricted forward-facing mount's arc) = 50° off stern. How far off the bow (or stern) the ship must angle before every main turret can fire: the widest blind wedge among the rear-facing (or forward-facing) mounts, from each mount's trainable arc. Mount facing is inferred from turret stations and verified against known layouts, including Izumo's aft-facing forward turret.

Maximum simulated damage

Estimate of WG's in-game value; matches the in-game port screen within ±5%. Saturation: most targets only intersect one hull section, so the sim transfers ~1/3 of the warhead alpha (2/3 when the warhead blast >= 5000 and the burst reaches a second section). For this ship:

D_{sim} = α \cdot c = 37, 500 \cdot 0.667 = 25, 000

≈ 25,000

Maximum damage (ammunition)

37,500 warhead alpha / 3 + 12,000 blast = 24,500. The ammunition card's 'Maximum Damage' stat, exact: warhead alpha / 3 plus the blast addend. This is the per-torpedo number most references quote; the 'Maximum simulated damage' row above is WG's separate geometry-sim stat from the launcher spec panel.

24,500

Torpedo detectability1 km

Reaction time

How long a target has to dodge after your torpedo is spotted at its detectability range (lower means less warning):

t_{react} = \frac{1 km}{45 kt \times 2.6855} = 8.3 s

. The 2.6855 m/s-per-knot game-speed factor is calibrated from in-game measurement; the community's traditional 2.6 reads about 3% slower. Base value; commander torpedo-concealment skills lower it further. Community torpedo-reaction calculator by u/LorenDovah and u/The_ColorOutofSpace.

8.3 s

Flooding chance

Read straight from the game's own data: this torpedo carries a flooding-chance value of 2.59 per hit, shown as

2.59 \times 100 = 259 %

. Torpedo flood values above 100% are normal: in battle the base chance is scaled down by the target's torpedo protection (the Torp Reduction stat on its Survivability card) and any flood-resistance modifiers, so a value above 100% keeps flooding likely even through partial protection. Not shown on the in-game port screen.

AA explosions

Each ~2 s salvo fires 2 AA explosions in quick succession, each leaving 2 clouds ahead of the attacking squadron - up to 4 clouds per salvo × 250 damage each. Planes that fly into a cloud take its damage; clouds dissipate before the next salvo lands. Defensive AA Fire, where fitted, multiplies the AA explosions within each salvo, and commander skills that raise the Number of AA explosions add to it.

2 per salvo, 2 clouds each

Cloud damage

Damage a plane takes for flying into one flak cloud, before any reductions.

Cloud spawn chance

Every potential cloud spawns - the full pattern, every salvo. Often called flak 'hit chance', but spawned clouds always damage planes that fly into them - the roll is on spawning.

100%

Salvo interval

A new flak salvo (the AA explosions above) fires roughly every 2 s - timed frame-by-frame from gameplay footage and consistent across ships.

every ~2 s

Fired by

Flak keeps firing while at least one main battery mount is operational - even losing every dedicated AA mount does not stop it.

Main battery

Flak zone

The activation band: flak fires while attacking planes are inside it. Clouds are placed ahead of the planes' path, so clouds can land short of 2.5 km or past 5 km - once planes get inside the band, new salvos stop. AA range bonuses push the outer edge out; the 2.5 km inner edge does not move.

Reverse speed

top speed / 4 + 4.9 = 36 / 4 + 4.9 = 13.9 kt. The community reverse-speed model from the WoWs ShipBuilder project, the same source as the acceleration model on this card. Base value; speed modifiers scale it. Not shown on the in-game card.

13.9 kt

Crash stop

Seconds from top speed to a dead stop after ordering full reverse: reverse power winds in over the reverse spool-up while water drag does most of the braking. Same community-model simulation as the acceleration times, using the ship's own reverse-power ratio. The full curve is on the acceleration chart. A real replay test (one ship, not this one) measured full reverse stopping about a quarter faster than a plain Stop order from top speed, and about a tenth faster from full reverse speed; this simulation only covers the full-reverse case.

16.1 s

Engine boost threshold (reverse)

Speed below which the engine's built-in power boost applies in reverse. Matches the in-game maneuverability card's reverse threshold (Vampire II reads 10.5 here and the card shows 11; the card rounds half up).

10.8 kt

Acceleration 0-90%

Time to reach 90% of top speed (32.4 kt of 36 kt), from our in-house acceleration model.

18.6 s

Acceleration 0-99%

Time to reach 99% of top speed (35.6 kt of 36 kt). 99% rather than 100% because true top speed is asymptotic (thrust meets drag), so the last fraction of a knot is never quite gained.

32 s

Traverse-to-turn ratio

How many degrees the turret can swing for each degree the hull turns. Turn rate

ω_{hull} = \frac{180}{π} \cdot \frac{V_{max} (m/s)}{R_{turn}} = \frac{180}{π} \cdot \frac{36.0 \cdot 0.5144}{720} = 1.47 ° / s

, so

ratio = \frac{ω_{turret}}{ω_{hull}} = \frac{15}{1.47} = 10.2 \times

. Below 5 the turrets drag in a turning fight; 25+ keeps up with any rudder.

In practice: 25% tighter (better) horizontal dispersion and 25% less vertical spread at max range (11.4 km) than a standard destroyer: about 76 m wide × 46 m tall, against 100 m × 60 m. Also on this curve (4): Christopher, Hughes, Kane, Osborne.

vs standard DD25% tighter H · 25% shorter V

H = horizontal, V = vertical spread. This ship's curve against the standard destroyer curve, both evaluated at this ship's max range (11.4 km) with the same model as Max Horiz/Vert Disp: horizontal 76 / 100 m − 1 = -25%, vertical 46 / 60 m − 1 = -25%. Shell grouping (σ) is separate: it sets how shells bunch toward the centre of this ellipse.

Max Horiz Disp75.8 m at 11.4 km

Horizontal dispersion ellipse width at max range, from the verified WoWS dispersion model:  $σ_{H} = (\frac{R}{30} \cdot \frac{idealRadius - minRadius}{idealDistance} + minRadius) \cdot 30$   $= (\frac{11400}{30} \cdot \frac{6 - 0.4}{1000} + 0.4) \cdot 30 = 75.8 m$

Shell scatter width @ 5 km40 m

(166.7 × (6 − 0.4) / 1000 + 0.4) × 30 = 40 m. Horizontal scatter at a fixed 5 km, from the same verified dispersion model as the rows below - a knife-fight-range anchor comparable across ships.

Shell scatter width @ 10 km68 m

(333.3 × (6 − 0.4) / 1000 + 0.4) × 30 = 68 m. How wide your shells scatter at 10 km, from the same dispersion model as the max-range figure above. Picking a fixed range makes this number directly comparable from ship to ship: max-range dispersion makes a longer-range gun look worse even when it's tighter at any common range. The interactive Dispersion tab on the Charts card plots the full curve from 0 to max range.

Max Vert Disp45.5 m at 11.4 km

Vertical dispersion ellipse height at max range: $σ_{V} = σ_{H} \cdot radiusOnMax$ $= 75.8 \cdot 0.6 = 45.5 m$

Shell scatter height @ 5 km18.5 m

How tall the scatter ellipse is at a fixed 5 km, from the same verified model, comparable from ship to ship. The height/width ratio is a piecewise-linear curve through three points from the ship's own dispersion data:  $radiusOnZero = 0.2$  at 0 m,  $radiusOnDelim = 0.5$  at  $delim \cdot R_{m a x} = 0.5 \cdot 11400 = 5700$  m, and  $radiusOnMax = 0.6$  at 11400 m. Below the kink:  $k = 0.2 + (0.5 - 0.2) \cdot \frac{5000}{5700} = 0.4632$ , so  $σ_{V} = σ_{H} \cdot k = 40 \cdot 0.4632 = 18.5 m$ .

Shell scatter height @ 10 km39.1 m

How tall the same scatter ellipse is at 10 km. Comparable from ship to ship for the same reason as the width value above. The height/width ratio is a piecewise-linear curve through three points from the ship's own dispersion data:  $radiusOnZero = 0.2$  at 0 m,  $radiusOnDelim = 0.5$  at  $delim \cdot R_{m a x} = 0.5 \cdot 11400 = 5700$  m, and  $radiusOnMax = 0.6$  at 11400 m. Above the kink:  $k = 0.5 + (0.6 - 0.5) \cdot \frac{10000 - 5700}{11400 - 5700} = 0.5754$ , so  $σ_{V} = σ_{H} \cdot k = 68 \cdot 0.5754 = 39.1 m$ .

Med Horiz Disp22.8 m at 11.4 km

50%-hit horizontal radius: $σ_{H, 50} = σ_{H} \cdot \frac{0.6}{σ}$ $= 75.8 \cdot \frac{0.6}{2} = 22.8 m$

Med Vert Disp13.7 m at 11.4 km

50%-hit vertical radius: $σ_{V, 50} = σ_{V} \cdot \frac{0.6}{σ}$ $= 45.5 \cdot \frac{0.6}{2} = 13.7 m$

AP Pen Close358.1 mm point-blank

Canonical community AP formula (jcw780/wows_shell), evaluated at muzzle velocity:  $P = 10^{- 7} \cdot K \cdot m^{0.69} \cdot d^{- 1.07} \cdot v_{0}^{1.38}$   $= 10^{- 7} \cdot 3000 \cdot 34^{0.69} \cdot {0.137}^{- 1.07} \cdot 930^{1.38} = 358.1 mm$ . Matches the in-game spec card.

AP Pen Far110.6 mm at 11.4 km

Same formula at the ship's max firing range (11.4 km), where the shell has slowed to 396.8 m/s:  $P = 10^{- 7} \cdot 3000 \cdot 34^{0.69} \cdot {0.137}^{- 1.07} \cdot {396.8}^{1.38} = 110.6 mm$ .

AP pen 5 km209 mm

AP penetration at a fixed 5 km, read off the same PC-validated ballistic curve as AP Pen Close/Far: the shell's impact velocity at that range fed through the canonical community AP formula  $P = 10^{- 7} \cdot K \cdot m^{0.69} \cdot d^{- 1.07} \cdot v^{1.38}$ . Fixed anchors make ships directly comparable at the same fighting distance; the Charts card plots the full curve.

AP pen 10 km126 mm

AP penetration at a fixed 10 km, read off the same PC-validated ballistic curve as AP Pen Close/Far: the shell's impact velocity at that range fed through the canonical community AP formula  $P = 10^{- 7} \cdot K \cdot m^{0.69} \cdot d^{- 1.07} \cdot v^{1.38}$ . Fixed anchors make ships directly comparable at the same fighting distance; the Charts card plots the full curve.

HE flight time @ 10 km6.11 s

How long an HE shell takes to reach a target at a fixed 10 km, from the same numerically integrated trajectory the Charts card plots. The shell slows under quadratic air drag,  $a_{drag} = k ρ v^{2}$ , where  $ρ$  is air density from a standard-atmosphere profile and  $k$  bundles the shell's drag coefficient, caliber and mass:  $k = \frac{π C_{d} d^{2}}{8 m} = \frac{π \cdot 0.2377 \cdot {0.137}^{2}}{8 \cdot 34} = 5.15 \times 10^{- 5}$ . That runs from a 823 m/s muzzle velocity in 0.02 s steps under gravity 9.8 m/s² until the shell lands, then divides by 2.77: the game clock runs faster than real time, and that factor was measured against stopwatch runs in the Training Room. Lower is better, since a faster shell is harder to dodge and needs less lead.

AP flight time @ 10 km5.87 s

How long an AP shell takes to reach a target at a fixed 10 km, from the same numerically integrated trajectory the Charts card plots. The shell slows under quadratic air drag,  $a_{drag} = k ρ v^{2}$ , where  $ρ$  is air density from a standard-atmosphere profile and  $k$  bundles the shell's drag coefficient, caliber and mass:  $k = \frac{π C_{d} d^{2}}{8 m} = \frac{π \cdot 0.2941 \cdot {0.137}^{2}}{8 \cdot 34} = 6.38 \times 10^{- 5}$ . That runs from a 930 m/s muzzle velocity in 0.02 s steps under gravity 9.8 m/s² until the shell lands, then divides by 2.77: the game clock runs faster than real time, and that factor was measured against stopwatch runs in the Training Room. Lower is better, since a faster shell is harder to dodge and needs less lead.

HE penetration23 mm

23 mm ≈ 137 mm caliber / 6 (standard HE penetration ratio).

AP overmatch9 mm

floor(137 mm caliber / 14.3) = 9 mm (AP auto-penetrates plating this thick or less).

AP AOE Radius16

AP shell over-penetration splash radius; scales with shell mass. Wickes 102mm = 3, standard 152mm CL ~ 20, Iowa 406mm ~ 270, Yamato 460mm = 400, Incomparable 650mm = 550 (max). Larger value = bigger splash damage area when AP over-pens.

Guns per full salvo (alpha, DPM)6

3 mounts × 2 barrels = 6; all 6 bear on the broadside.

Turret turn time12 s

180 degrees / 15 deg/s traverse speed = 12 s.

HE full-salvo alpha13,200

2,200 HE damage x 6 broadside guns = 13,200.

AP full-salvo alpha20,400

3,400 AP damage x 6 broadside guns = 20,400.

HE DPMInitial: 121,846 → 134,237

Zero upgrades: 13,200 HE full-salvo alpha x 60 / 6.5 s base reload = 121,846. All upgrades (Main Battery Mod. 3 = -10% reload): 13,200 HE full-salvo alpha x 60 / 5.9 s all-upgrades reload = 134,237.

AP DPMInitial: 188,308 → 207,458

Zero upgrades: 20,400 AP full-salvo alpha x 60 / 6.5 s base reload = 188,308. All upgrades (Main Battery Mod. 3 = -10% reload): 20,400 AP full-salvo alpha x 60 / 5.9 s all-upgrades reload = 207,458.

Shells/minInitial: 55.4 → 61

Zero upgrades: 6 broadside guns x 60 / 6.5 s base reload = 55.4. All upgrades (Main Battery Mod. 3 = -10% reload): 6 broadside guns x 60 / 5.9 s all-upgrades reload = 61.

Fires/minInitial: 4.98 → 5.49

Zero upgrades: 55.4 shells/min x 9% fire chance = 4.98. All upgrades (Main Battery Mod. 3 = -10% reload): 61 shells/min x 9% fire chance = 5.49.

Torpedoes

Torpedo detectability1 km

Estimated torpedo reaction time8.3 s

1000 m / (45 kt × 2.6855) = 8.3 s. detectability / (speed kt x 2.6855 game-speed factor, m/s per knot, calibrated from in-game measurement; the community's traditional 2.6 reads about 3% slower).

Torpedo speed45 kt

Travel time to max range82.8 s

10000 m / (45 kt × 2.6855) = 82.8 s. range / (speed kt x 2.6855 game-speed factor, m/s per knot, calibrated from in-game measurement).

Torpedo module damage12,000

Per-torpedo module/blast damage parameter. Most torpedoes carry 500 to 2,000; ships announced by WG as dealing increased module damage carry 9,000 to 12,000, so their hits knock out engines, rudders, and turrets far more often. Comparative figure; the exact module-HP conversion is not published.

Tube count5

1 launchers x 5 tubes.

Per-side salvo5 torpedoes

1 launchers × 5 tubes = 5, all to either side (centerline launchers train across - full salvo to either side).

Full-salvo damage125,000

All tubes hitting one target: tubes x per-torpedo simulated damage = 5 x 25,000 = 125,000.

Per-side salvo damage125,000

One side firing, all torpedoes hitting: per-side tubes x per-torpedo simulated damage = 5 x 25,000 = 125,000.

AA defense

AA DPS at max range305

Only families that reach 5 km contribute at the outer edge of the AA bubble. In-game families: 3in50 MK34 Radar 2x1 -> 70 DPS @ 5 km; 3in50 Twin Mark 33 4x2 -> 196 DPS @ 5 km; 20mm Oerlikon Twin 6x2 -> 73 DPS @ 2 km; Far AA (?) -> 39 DPS @ 5 km.

Maximum AA range5 km

Longest-reaching family on the in-game AA card. Base AirDefense aura max range is 5 km; dual-purpose mount auras extend it.

AA DPS layered by range305 DPS @ 5 km, 378 DPS @ 2 km

@ 5 km: 70 + 196 + 39 = 305; @ 2 km: 70 + 196 + 73 + 39 = 378. Cumulative AA DPS at each family range threshold. Inner ranges stack the outer families, so a target closing the distance hits stronger AA bubbles as it crosses each band.

AA DPS at point-blank378

70 + 196 + 73 + 39 = 378 DPS: the sum of every family's average DPS, achievable only inside the closest-range family (2 km).

AA threat index1671

70 × 5 + 196 × 5 + 73 × 2 + 39 × 5 = 1671. SUM over AA auras of (aura DPS x aura range km). A plane crossing the AA bubble is exposed to each aura for a time proportional to that aura's range, so long-reach DPS is worth more than the same DPS in a short bubble. Units: DPS*km; used to rank overall AA threat across the cohort.

Background

A large post-war destroyer armed with 5.4-inch (137 mm) main battery guns. She represents a further development of the universal warship concept, designed to support squadrons with rapid-firing artillery and powerful AA defenses.

Armor Beta

Hull HP 23,900, distributed across 5 hull zones, each with its own plate thicknesses, saturation cap, and pen thresholds. HP caps are estimated from the standard WoWs damage-allocation model.

Bow & stern19 mm

Overmatched by 76+ AP guns across the bracket. Can’t reliably bow-tank; gets bow-citadelled and overpenned.

Farming19 mm

Superstructure and extremities take HE pens and AP overpens from nearly any gun: steady chip damage. Fire resistance 40%, fires burn 30s. Range-by-range in the Compare tool →

Citadel	20 mm primary (range 13–20 mm)	no cap	Citadel pen: full damageOver-pen: ×0.10 damage	Effectively no cap; citadel pool sits at ~165k HP on every ship. An AP citadel penetration deals the shell's full damage, the biggest single hit available; only over-penetrations are damped, to ×0.10.
Superstructure	19 mm	no cap	Any HE ≥16 mm pens at full damage	Any HE ≥16 mm pens at full damage. HE-spam target, and the section saturates fast (often only a few thousand HP).

Saturation cap = HP a section can absorb before further damage to it is reduced (the "bow-tank" effect). Citadel pool is ~165k on every ship (effectively no cap); damage is gated by pen/over-pen multipliers instead. Superstructure saturates fast but HE always pens regardless of the plate thickness. Rudder (and other module HPs) are a separate pool from ship HP: damaging a module doesn't drain ship HP. Incapacitated modules like the rudder and engine are restored by DCP, but secondary and AA mounts destroyed at 0 HP stay out for the rest of the battle.
