PERFORMANCE SECTION GUIDELINES
* Pro 2
1.  Write a brief intro paragraph of 1-3 sentences.
2.  Write 1-3 paragraphs of "meat".  Talk about what the ship does well, what it doesn't, how it compares to same tier ships of the same type, how it compares to the previous ship in the tech tree, whatever.  Try to avoid quoting vital statistics to players unless it is really relevant (i.e. concealment); they can see those in the sidebar on the right and don't need them read back. 
3.  Write a brief summary paragraph of 1-3 sentences highlighting the key takeaways from the paragraphs above.

{{AA Sidebar Warning Insert}}
Tier VI destroyer ''Vasteras'' embodies the standard characteristics of the European destroyer line. Although she features many of the trademark European strengths, such as fast reloading torpedoes and the {{Repair Party}} consumable, she lacks other important strengths of higher tier ships of the line.


In terms of armament, ''Vasteras'' can be considered a gun-torpedo hybrid in many regards. Her torpedoes have a very quick reload time of just under one minute, which is the fastest at Tier VI. They boast a fairly long range, and decent speed. Because of these strengths, the torpedoes have a pitiful alpha damage of 7,533, which is by far the lowest of all Tier VI destroyers. This prevents ''Vasteras'' from being able to successfully rush and kill enemies at close range. In terms of gun power, ''Vasteras'' is fairly weak. She has six 120mm guns in three double turrets, one bow and two aft. These turrets, similar to ''[[Visby]]’s'', have a very poor turret traverse speed, making close range engagements with enemy destroyers difficult. The long reload and bad HE fire chance, along with the small gun caliber, make damaging armored enemies with guns unviable as a source of damage.
===Cons===
* Con 1
* Con 2


''Vasteras'' has a mediocre HP pool of 12,100 fully upgraded. As with all destroyers, use of the Survivability Expert skill is highly recommended. Despite this medium amount of health, she gets access to the {{Repair Party}} consumable, which is extremely uncommon among mid tier destroyers. This allows ''Vasteras'' to take risky engagements and recover from them much more efficiently than her peers. She also has strong handling, with a  3 second rudder shift time, and a tight turning circle. This allows ''Vasteras'' to effectively dodge incoming fire from longer ranges.


As a European destroyer, ''Vasteras'' has one of the strongest AA suites of her tier. Her AA range is longer than her air detectability, so players should disable AA guns until she is spotted by planes in order to preserve her concealment. Although ''Vasteras''' AA appears to be stronger than other Tier VI destroyers, it is unlikely that they will be able to defend her from a Tier VI carrier, and a Tier VIII carrier will surely be able to attack her.

Taking all her characteristics into account, captains of ''Vasteras'' should adopt a long range playstyle, using her good concealment and excellent torpedo range to attack sluggish targets from range. Due to her poor turret traverse and bad gun DPM, and especially due to her lack of {{Smoke Generator}}, ''Vasteras'' players should avoid contesting key areas and fighting other destroyers early in the game. However, the extra survivability provided by her {{Repair Party}} can make a significant difference in the later part of the match.

Västerås — Europe Tech Tree Tier VI Destroyer.

In 1933 and 1934, the Polish Navy, planning to build a series of new destroyers, held a competition involving European shipbuilders. Kockums, a Swedish shipyard from Malmö, also participated in the competition with its project. The project was based on the Göteborg-class destroyers that had just been laid down and differed from them with a 50% greater displacement and enhanced armament. The prevailing project came from a British firm, resulting in the appearance of the Grom-class destroyers.
