Overview

Oliver Hazard Perry is the utility ship of the Modern Era, and she is a damage dealer rather than a spotter. Her homing launcher fires one missile at a time but reloads in 15 s, the shortest cycle in the mode, for 36,000 damage at 450 kts, the fastest missile here. She adds an HE bomb airstrike (7,500 damage, 33% fire chance, three charges) and close-range torpedoes. What ties it together is the consumable suite: Radar, Stealth and missile defence all have UNLIMITED charges, with Radar on a 30 s cooldown and Stealth on 40 s.

Positioning

Pick an island that puts enemy traffic inside your 10 km missile range and camp it. Run Radar from behind cover to find targets for yourself rather than for the team, then fire the homing missile and let the 15 s reload bring the next one. If something spots you or closes inside your 5.5 km detection, Stealth breaks the lock and resets the fight, and with unlimited charges you can keep doing it. Let the Radar duration expire before you open fire so the shot does not pull you out of Stealth. Torpedoes are the answer if your island gets rushed.

Potato Avoidance

Fighting in open water

With 26,000 HP, no main battery and a single launcher, anything that catches you away from cover wins, and the airstrike's long cooldown will not fill the gap. Note also that her 120 degree targeting sector is the widest of the four steerable ones, but it tracks only ONE missile at a time, the fewest in the mode, so a two-missile salvo will always get a hit through. Given a good island and disciplined consumable cycling she can win almost any one-on-one here; away from one she is the easiest of the six to kill.

Signature Traits

Airstrike alt-armament

The alt-armament fires a bomber line in place of torpedoes. Rewards behind-cover positioning with the cap in range.

Surveillance Radar

13.5 km range, 30 s duration. Detects all enemy ships within a fixed radius regardless of line-of-sight. Controls caps and punishes smoke-firing DDs.

Burny secondaries ↗

15% best HE fire chance per secondary shell (before target resistance), best of T7 DDs. Stacks fires faster than peers in a brawl.

ELITE RADAR ↗
  • Long-range radar · 13.5 km
  • Long-duration radar · 30 s
Slow acceleration ↗

~23.8 s to 90% of top speed, bottom decile of T7 DDs. Sluggish rebuild after a turn or stop; the engine power-boost fades early, so the mid-range crawls.

Short torp range ↗

5.49 km torpedo range, bottom decile of T7 DDs. Must close to deliver.

Acquisition

How to get Oliver Hazard Perry

Oliver Hazard Perry is a Premium ship and not available to unlock in the Tech Tree. Acquisition path: Premium/Event.

Builds

Consumable cooldown first, since Radar and Stealth are what make the ship, then concealment. Missile reload is already her strength and needs less help than the cycle does.

Maximum simulated damage
ƒEstimate 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: Dsim=α·c=50,000·0.333=16,667.

Maximum damage (ammunition)
ƒThe 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.

Base value; commander torpedo-concealment skills lower it further. Community torpedo-reaction calculator by u/LorenDovah and u/The_ColorOutofSpace.

Flooding chance
ƒRead straight from the game's own data: this torpedo carries a flooding-chance value of 1.92 per hit, shown as 1.92×100=192%. 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 defense

AA DPS at max range32
Only families that reach 2 km contribute at the outer edge of the AA bubble. In-game families: Mk15 Phalanx 1x1 -> 32 DPS @ 2 km.
Maximum AA range2 km
Longest-reaching family on the in-game AA card. Base AirDefense aura max range is 2 km; dual-purpose mount auras extend it.
AA DPS layered by range32 DPS @ 2 km
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-blank32
Sum of every family's average DPS, achievable only inside the closest-range family (2 km).
AA threat index64
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.

Secondary battery dispersion

Secondary dispersion typeStandard
Max dispersion = range (km) × 57 + 30. Each dispersion type sets its own slope; this is not a percentage applied to a standard baseline.
Max secondary dispersion @ 4 km258 m
4 km × 57 + 30 = 258 m.

Secondary battery firepower

Secondary DPM (per side)18,000
Sum across all secondary families of (per-side barrels × 60 / reload_s × alpha), where per-side barrels = mounts × barrels-per-mount / 2 (the guns that bear on one broadside target). Per-family: 1×1 76 mm (0.5/side) × 60/2 × 1200 = 18,000. Assumes every shell hits (real hit rate is lower; the Brawl matchup tool on the Compare page folds in dispersion + target armor).
Max HE alpha1200
Maximum HE damage per shell across secondary HE families. Best on this ship: 1200 from the 76 mm family.
Max HE fire chance15%
Maximum per-shell fire chance across secondary HE families (before target fire resistance is applied). Best on this ship: 15% from the 76 mm family.
Max HE pen32 mm
Maximum HE armor penetration across secondary HE families (caliber × 1/6 for most nations; 1/4 for German/UK BBs). Shells whose pen falls under a plate's armor thickness shatter for 0 hull damage though fire chance still applies. Best on this ship: 32 mm from the 76 mm family.

Armor Beta

Hull HP 26,000, 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 & stern21 mm

Overmatched by 132+ guns across the bracket. Can’t reliably bow-tank; gets bow-citadelled and overpenned.

Farming12 mm

Superstructure and extremities take HE pens and AP overpens from nearly any gun: steady chip damage. Fire resistance 37%, fires burn 30s. Range-by-range in the Compare tool →

Overmatched by 305mm+ (Toulon, Cherbourg)Angle bounces 283mm21 mm: HE pens from 127mm+
Bow-tank fits behind this exterior plate. Saturation is FAST here; the cap is often only a few thousand HP.

Overmatched by 460mm+ (Aki, Musashi)Angle bounces 410mm30 mm: HE pens from 203mm+

Mirror of bow. Same fast saturation.
Citadel30 mm primary (range 20–30 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.
Superstructure12 mm primary (range 12–21 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.
