Here's our First Look at Tier X Premium British destroyer HMS Druid. Druid is an odd little boat, but an interesting one. For the first time, Wargaming is translating the British light cruiser-style AP shells down to calibers lower than six inches; Druid's main battery is comprised of 127mm AP-only shells with a truly obscene rate of fire (think Friesland). Like Friesland, she has no torpedoes. What else is going on here? Let's peel back the layers and see.
