Tracy

Also called: 特雷西 Beta

SAP destroyerMain guns fire high-alpha SAP in place of AP; lean on agility and exhaust smoke, and pick targets your SAP bites rather than shatters on.

Playstyle

Overview

Tracy is a U.S. Tier III premium destroyer surfaced from in-game data. Play her as a low-tier destroyer fundamentals ship: scout early, contest only with support, and use the large torpedo broadside to punish predictable pushes.

Positioning

Work near capture edges and island exits where you can spot without being trapped. Keep escape routes open, use smoke and speed to reset fights, and launch torpedoes into committed battleship paths rather than forcing close-range trades.

Potato Avoidance

Overstay after being detected

Tracy's value comes from repeated spotting and torpedo windows, not from trying to duel every destroyer in open water.

Signature Traits

Engine Boost

+8% speed, 120 s duration. Engine Boost consumable temporarily raises top speed. Mobility on demand to reposition, chase a kill, or break contact.

Lingering smoke ↗

112 s smoke cloud linger, best of T3 DDs. Each puff stays up longer after you stop laying it, holding the shield.

Long-reach AA ↗

3 km AA reach, top decile of T3 DDs.

Pattern widens fast with range ↗

Shell pattern widens about 9.14 m per km of range, bottom decile of T3 DDs. Salvos spread more at any given distance than peers', so bracketing matters (this is range-normalized, so out-ranging peers does not count against her).

Slow acceleration ↗

~17.5 s to 90% of top speed, bottom decile of T3 DDs. Sluggish rebuild after a turn or stop; the engine power-boost fades early, so the mid-range crawls.

Acquisition

How to get Tracy

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

Premium/EventAvailability usually depends on store rotations, event reruns, collaborations, coupons, or special offers.

Official WG availability sources

U.S.A. 250: History-Inspired Event & New Alternative Destroyers Event/store source Start: 2026-06-26 · End: open/unknown end Official ship/event post that can indicate store, collaboration, event, return, or limited availability.

Builds

Use an American destroyer commander focused on concealment, torpedo uptime, and survivability; inspirations for concealment or torpedo reload are safe defaults until player data matures.

Scales with shell mass (90mm ~ 5, 203mm CA ~ 20-30, 320mm = 175, 406mm = 250, 457mm = 400, max) and is tuned per ship, so two ships with the same SAP caliber can differ (135mm ranges 5-24). Larger value = wider fragment spread per hit.

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 = 27, 000 \cdot 0.333 = 9, 000

≈ 9,000

Maximum damage (ammunition)

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.

9,900

Torpedo detectability1.1 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{1.1 km}{56 kt \times 2.6} = 7.6 s

, equivalently

5000 \times detectability / (13 \times speed)

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

7.6 s

Flooding chance

Read straight from the game's own data: this torpedo carries a flooding-chance value of 1.59 per hit, shown as

1.59 \times 100 = 159 %

. 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.

Acceleration 0-99%

Time to reach 99% of top speed (34.6 kt of 35 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.

30.2 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{35.0 \cdot 0.5144}{520} = 1.98 ° / s

, so

ratio = \frac{ω_{turret}}{ω_{hull}} = \frac{10}{1.98} = 5.0 \times

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

AA defense

AA DPS at max range4

Only families that reach 3 km contribute at the outer edge of the AA bubble. In-game families: 3in23 1x1 -> 4 DPS @ 3 km; Browning M2 Mod2 2x1 -> 17 DPS @ 1.2 km.

Maximum AA range3 km

Longest-reaching family on the in-game AA card. Base AirDefense aura max range is 3 km; dual-purpose mount auras extend it.

AA DPS layered by range4 DPS @ 3 km, 21 DPS @ 1.2 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-blank21

Sum of every family's average DPS, achievable only inside the closest-range family (1.2 km).

AA threat index32

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.

An AP citadel penetration deals the shell's full damage, the biggest single hit available; only over-penetrations are damped, to ×0.10.
Superstructure	6 mm primary (range 6–13 mm)	800 (7% of HP)	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).
Turret (module, per magazine)	separate HP pool, does not drain ship HP	5,500 magazine HP	Turret knocked out	Per-turret powder-magazine HP, a separate pool that does not drain ship HP. As it is worn down the turret is likelier to be knocked out, and a smaller pool gets there faster.
AA mount (76 mm mount)	separate HP pool, does not drain ship HP	200 per-mount HP	Destroyed at 0 HP	Per-mount HP for the heaviest AA on this ship. An AA mount destroyed at 0 HP stops shooting down planes for the rest of the battle; DCP does not repair destroyed mounts. HE shells specifically target AA mounts since the small-caliber HP pool falls fast.
Rudder (module)	separate HP pool, does not drain ship HP	3,300 module HP	Incapacitated at 0 HP	When module HP reaches 0 the rudder locks at its current angle until DCP repairs it. Repair via Damage Control Party.

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.
