Sims — U.S.A. Premium Tier VII Destroyer.

The new destroyer design was similar to the Mahan class, but she was larger than her predecessor, and her main guns were mounted on a ring-shaped base instead of the central pin. When construction was complete, overloading was detected, which led to removing one torpedo launcher and transferring the second one to the center. With the entry of the United States into World War II, USS Sims joined the same strike group as aircraft carrier Yorktown. On May 7, 1942, during the Battle of the Coral Sea, the destroyer sank as a result of an attack by Japanese dive bombers.

Sims gains the ability to choose between a set of fast, high-damage, short-range torpedoes or a set of slow, low-damage, long-range torpedoes.

Pros

High rate of fire
