In 1929, as Turkey purchased four destroyers from Italy, the first approach prevailed, and Greece ultimately ordered four destroyers to be built with simplified technology, also in Italy. An alternative solution could be the other approach, which envisaged ordering a pair of large ships with 140 mm guns. The most suitable was one of the pre-designs of a fleet cruiser that the British Admiralty was considering at that time. Namely, the E-class cruiser armed with six 140 mm guns. Lambros Katsonis was named after the leader of the national liberation struggle of the Greek people.</p><p> </p></div>

<h4>Overview</h4>
===Cons===
* Only HE shells available
* Low Torpedo damage
* High detectability


A representative of the “Gunship” destroyer line leading up to ''[[Gdansk]]'', Tier IX European destroyer ''Lambros Katsonis'' is characterized by her powerful main battery, large hitpoint pool, high speed, and flexible consumable set. Like ''[[Split]]'', ''Katsonis'' has access to both a smoke generator, and a fast cooldown Surveillance Radar with a short action time but short cooldown and numerous charges, but only fires High Explosive shells. She also comes equipped with two fast-loading torpedo launchers with high speed torpedoes that have decent range but deal low damage.

''Katsonis'' does not come with any noteworthy armor for a Tier IX destroyer, but she does have a lot of hitpoints to work with (20,300, or 23,450 with <u>Survivability Expert</u>). This puts her towards the higher end of Tier IX destroyers, ahead of ships such as ''[[Mogador]]'' or ''[[Udaloi]]'' and just behind ''[[Neustrashimy]]'' and ''[[Kitakaze]]''. However, unlike most of the major gunboat destroyers at this tier, ''Katsonis'' has no specialized survivability gimmicks like improved saturation or a Repair Party. ''Katsonis'' captains will need to carefully manage their hitpoints, especially in the opening phases of a battle.

''Katsonis'' has a powerful armament that centers around her six 140 mm guns, a unique caliber for the tier that lends itself to excellent gunnery characteristics. With all of her guns firing, ''Katsonis'' can shoot nearly 95 HE rounds per minute, giving her the third highest HE DPM of all Tier IX destroyers behind only ''[[Kitakaze]]'' and ''[[Friesland]]'' (and their respective clones). Combined with her excellent ballistics, solid range, and good fire chance, her guns can be effective against most targets. However, this comes with the downside of having no access to AP ammunition. Despite her relatively quick 3.8 second base reload and good ballistics, ''Katsonis'' cannot get up close and ambush thinly armored targets like some of the other gunboats at this tier. She makes up for this shortcoming with the second highest fires per minute for a Tier IX destroyer of 9.5.

</div>


''Katsonis'' will need to make good use of her relatively limited torpedo armament to deal with targets up close. With only 4 tubes per side and the typical low damage of European torpedoes, captains will need to land all 8 torpedoes to deal significant damage, although lower tier battleships and most cruisers or destroyers will be severely damaged if not outright killed.

One other thing that ought to be mentioned about ''Katsonis'' is her unusual main battery layout &mdash; her three forward guns are arranged in a “pyramid” configuration. While she can shoot all six of her main battery guns at once, it can only be done at specific angles when facing entirely forward. This exposes her broadside and can result in catastrophic damage if players aren’t careful. Katsonis captains are only advised to do this when firing from smoke or taking advantage of a distracted target.

''Katsonis'' has above average maneuverability for a Tier IX destroyer, with a somewhat large turning radius of 720 m, a high top speed of 38 knots, and a fast rudder shift of 4.6 seconds. Combined with the Engine Boost consumable, ''Katsonis'' has the ability to reposition quite well, especially when facing stealthier and similarly maneuverable destroyers. However, she has terrible concealment for a Tier IX destroyer, with only ''[[Mogador]]'', ''[[Tashkent]]'' and ''[[Udaloi]]'' having worse concealment. However, thanks to the combination of her Smoke Generator and Surveillance Radar, she can easily counter any opponent that outspots her and deal significant damage to them while the radar is active.

''Katsonis'' has somewhat decent AA DPS but zero flak bursts to dissuade carriers from striking her. With her enormous air detection range and large size, she is an easy target for carriers when she’s out of her smoke or unsupported in the open. Sticking close to allies is the best thing for her when going against enemy carriers.
'''Lambros Katsonis (B)'''


''Katsonis''’s depth charges are decidedly mediocre for the tier. Although she can throw a total of 24 bombs into the water, the alpha damage of just 2500 is among the worst for the tier. Numerous other ships such as the Japanese, American, and British destroyers all get either more charges or bombs with much higher damage. It is a serviceable tool against enemy submarines if you manage to catch one, but it’s not a guaranteed kill weapon.

<h4>Performance</h4>
''Katsonis'' stands out thanks to her excellent gunpower, versatile consumable set and excellent flexibility. However, she struggles against stealthier gunboats or when uptiered due to her relatively large size, poor main battery firing angles, and lack of Repair Party or improved saturation. Additionally, her torpedos are primarily a defensive weapon when absolutely necessary. Overall, she prefers to play at medium to longer ranges, supporting stealthier destroyers or farming down cruisers and battleships. Having that radar also lets her ambush destroyers and take big chunks out of their health, or finish off a low health opponent that might have otherwise gotten away.
|Pros=<!-- write list of positive points below. use * as in ordinary wiki-list. -->
* Large health pool

Lambros Katsonis — Europe Tech Tree Tier IX Destroyer.

In the late 1920s, there was a dispute among the leaders of the Greek Navy about whether to invest in building more conventional ships or build fewer but stronger ones. In 1929, as Turkey purchased four destroyers from Italy, the first approach prevailed, and Greece ultimately ordered four destroyers to be built with simplified technology, also in Italy. An alternative solution could be the other approach, which envisaged ordering a pair of large ships with 140 mm guns. The most suitable was one of the pre-designs of a fleet cruiser that the British Admiralty was considering at that time. Namely, the E-class cruiser armed with six 140 mm guns. Lambros Katsonis was named after the leader of the national liberation struggle of the Greek people.
