Nicholas has come a long way since the early days of Warships; these days, I'd rank her easily in the top 3 of all Tier V destroyers. Her combination of brutally punishing HE DPM combined with her health pool - which is big even by Tier VI standards - makes her a supreme DD bully and cap contester. Her torpedoes aren't anything to get overly excited about, but you can get work out of them with a little bit of good positioning. In this video I'll talk about how I build my Nicholas, why I fit her out that way, how I recommend playing her, and follow all of that up with a game demonstrating the ship in action.

Enjoy!
