Loading...Today we take a look at the Jurua, a tier 6 pan American premium destroyer. This new DD is from Brazil and is a direct clone of the Gallant, The H class destroyer from which it was designed. Its been awhile since the Gallant was released, so I’ll cover stats again. It’s not a bad little DD, no great, but its good in the hands of a DD main that knows their way around the battlefield. This will likely be a ship for Brazilians as a matter of pride. It’s nice to see nations that are underrepresented get ships in WoWS.
Hi zoup!
Hey ZOUP, good morning sir. Your in TEXAS, right? Hope you and your family are staying warm and not affected by the wide spread power outages. I was looking forward to a review for this ship as money is tight right now so I have to be selective on what Premium ships I purchase. So thank you very much ZOUP. !!!
I don’t… As I live in Iowa. You all deserve to experience once in awhile, what I do, on a yearly basis.
That’s just winter, to me.
The Juruas out on this one….
Yes, Jurua is HMS Harvester. When the british requisitioned the ship, they gave Brazil the plans for the H class, and Brazil used those as the basis for their own Acre-class destroyers, armed with US built 127mm guns. By the way, the in-game model of the Jurua *IS* actually different from the Gallant, most notably in the bridge, but it’s still historically inaccurate because the ship was built with only 3 guns, being more intended for ASW.
The bridge model actually makes her more easily hit by rocket aircraft
What if WG would add maps and such instead of more and more premiums to grind their money?
Hasn’t WoT been playing literally the same couple maps for over 10 years? I wouldn’t hold my breath on this, friend.
Jurua is just a Gallant 2.0.
So Brazil gets a ship that in real life they never got? Only WG would screw even that up!
How is that even a surprise?
Harvester was sunk in 1943
I’m thinking I want it, just to have a pan american ship in my port.
@Ethan Franklin same happens in tanks they don’t go for modern builds. We’ll see… When they run out of blueprints … Maybe …
Brazilian DD, shaven not furred.
I hope so.
Probably because it needed 0 work to make it. Just another cash grab by WG.
And Minas Gerais (Battleship [I think])
I would really like to see a Pan-American cruiser line
Conway’s All the World’s Fighting Ships 1922-1946 confirms the info on Military Wikia that others have posted. HMS Harvester was built by Vickers-Armstrong at Barrow, launched on 29 September 1939, and sunk on 11 March 1943. From Uboat.net: While escorting Convoy HX-228, Harvester rammed U-444 but was soon sunk by U-432. The French corvette Aconit was also in the action, and sank both U-boats. There were six requisitioned Brazilian DDs in the class. They were generally similar to the British G-H-I class, led by HMS Gallant, but with only 3 x 4.7-inch guns as noted.
