Since the torpedo armament is weak for Tier X, Småland must rely chiefly on her main battery when fighting larger ships. Her concealment is only mediocre, but that is not much of a problem in practice since the radar range is far greater than the ship's own detection range - if spotted by an undetected ship, simply activate the radar and the other ship will be revealed. Småland can detect other destroyers with radar, engage or disengage with the engine boost, and outguns almost all other destroyers while also being able to repair incoming damage. With this in mind, it is clear that this ship is highly optimized for a particular task - hunting other destroyers. Like the other European destroyers, she also has a Repair Party. In addition to the exceptional main battery, Småland also has access to Surveillance Radar, as well as an unusual Emergency Engine Power consumable with a short duration but a strong speed increase. Unlike Halland, Småland lacks access to Defensive AA Fire, and while her anti-aircraft defenses are strong for a destroyer, she is more vulnerable to aircraft carriers than her sister. The firing range is somewhat limited and the ballistics are mediocre at best, but the damage output is very high and she is exceptionally good at starting fires. On the other hand, Småland's main battery is one of the strongest of any destroyer in the game. Her torpedo armament (an unusual arrangement of one 5-tube launcher and one 3-tube) is significantly weaker than Halland's as they are loaded with stock Östergötland torpedoes. Whereas Halland is a well-rounded generalist ship centered around its torpedoes, Småland is far more specialized in her role, and relies much more on her guns. Most importantly, Småland has access to Surveillance Radar. Småland is a Tier X European premium destroyer - a sister ship to tech tree Halland, but with some significant differences.
