#ICARUS WIKI GENERATOR#

For anti-aircraft (AA) defense, they had two quadruple mounts for the 0.5 inch Vickers Mark III machine gun. The ships mounted four 4.7-inch (120 mm) Mark IX guns in single mounts, designated 'A', 'B', 'X' and 'Y' from bow to stern. Their crew numbered 145 officers and ratings. Icarus only reached a speed of 35.1 knots (65.0 km/h 40.4 mph) from 33,380 shp (24,890 kW) during her sea trials.The ships carried enough fuel oil to give them a range of 5,500 nautical miles (10,200 km 6,300 mi) at 15 knots (28 km/h 17 mph). The turbines developed a total of 34,000 shaft horsepower (25,000 kW) and were intended to give a maximum speed of 35.5 knots (65.7 km/h 40.9 mph). They were powered by two Parsons geared steam turbines, each driving one propeller shaft, using steam provided by three Admiralty three-drum boilers. The ships had an overall length of 323 feet (98.5 m), a beam of 33 feet (10.1 m) and a draught of 12 feet 6 inches (3.8 m). They displaced 1,370 long tons (1,390 t) at standard load and 1,888 long tons (1,918 t) at deep load. The I-class ships were improved versions of the preceding H-class. HMS Icarus was one of nine I-class destroyers built for the Royal Navy during the 1930s. Captains should save the smoke consumable for when they feel the need to disengage and retreat from pursuing enemy ships.

Icarus’ Short-Burst Smoke Generator consumable also features a short duration and short reload time. This consumable can be useful for spotting enemy torpedoes, or enemy ships in smoke. The ship cannot be fitted with the Engine Boost consumable, but receives Short-Range Hydro-Acoustic Search instead. Lastly, Icarus carries a somewhat unusual consumable set for a destroyer. Captains can use this ability to get more accurate torpedo strikes, especially against bow facing targets. Like other Royal Navy destroyers, Icarus also has the ability to fire single torpedoes at a time, or fire a whole launcher in a narrow spread. When fully specialized, Icarus has a moderate window to fire her torpedoes from stealth. Icarus carries eight torpedo tubes in two quadruple launchers. Icarus’ primary weapon set against larger targets is her torpedo armament. When facing ships larger than their own, captains should try to aim for the enemy’s superstructure or other lightly armored areas. However, these guns often struggle to deal damage against larger, more armored targets, especially battleships. While these guns do not have the quick traverse time and fire rate of the guns found on Farragut or Monaghan, they are more than adequate to protect the ship against other enemy destroyers. Icarus’ main armament consists of four 120mm guns in single mounts along the ship’s center-line. Captains already familiar with Acasta will feel accustomed to Icarus’ playstyle. Like other destroyers at her tier, she carries a powerful torpedo armament and small caliber guns.
