Overview

Caprice is a Tier VII British premium destroyer with official boosts to torpedo reload, gun range, HE damage, Smoke/Sonar options, and tube-by-tube launch behavior. Play her as a flexible objective destroyer with strong utility choices.

Positioning

Use Sonar or Engine Boost choices to fit the match, contesting caps while sending torpedoes through likely push lanes. Smoke enables repeated disengages or short gun windows.

Potato Avoidance

Waste the flexible consumables on unsupported fights

Caprice has tools for control, but overcommitting still gets her focused down.
