Contents
Description
The Leone-class, RN Tigre, 1934 is a premium rank III Italian destroyer with a battle rating of 4.3 (AB/RB/SB). It was introduced in Update "Ground Breaking".
General info
Survivability and armour
The Tigre has almost no armour to speak of besides the 4 mm steel superstructure, the 16 mm steel hull and the 12 mm thick anti-fragmentation armour on gun shields.
Mobility
The speed of the Tigre is reasonable though not especially fast, she does reach her top speed of 63 km/h without too much trouble.

Armament
Primary armament
Provide information about the characteristics of the primary armament. Evaluate their efficacy in battle based on their reload speed, ballistics and the capacity of their shells. Add a link to the main article about the weapon: {{main|Weapon name (calibre)}}. Broadly describe the ammunition available for the primary armament, and provide recommendations on how to use it and which ammunition to choose.

Secondary armament
Some ships are fitted with weapons of various calibres. Secondary armaments are defined as weapons chosen with the control Select secondary weapon. Evaluate the secondary armaments and give advice on how to use them. Describe the ammunition available for the secondary armament. Provide recommendations on how to use them and which ammunition to choose. Remember that any anti-air armament, even heavy calibre weapons, belong in the next section. If there is no secondary armament, remove this section.

Anti-aircraft armament
An important part of the ship's armament responsible for air defence. Anti-aircraft armament is defined by the weapon chosen with the control Select anti-aircraft weapons. Talk about the ship's anti-air cannons and machine guns, the number of guns and their positions, their effective range, and about their overall effectiveness – including against surface targets. If there are no anti-aircraft armaments, remove this section.
Additional armament
Describe the available additional armaments of the ship: depth charges, mines, torpedoes. Talk about their positions, available ammunition and launch features such as dead zones of torpedoes. If there is no additional armament, remove this section.
Usage in battles

Pros and cons
Pros:
- Large number of main guns
- Large main gun HE shell explosive filler
- Large field-of-fire towards the stern of the ship
- Reasonable penetration and filler for the APHE shell
- Two 76mm cannons more than RN Leone
Cons:
- Low main gun rate of fire
- Inadequate anti-aircraft armament
- Only four torpedoes with a very short range without torpedo mode installed
- Above-waterline bow ammunition magazine

Devblog History
The Italian Leone-class destroyers were ordered to replace the more obsolete and worn out ships of the Regia Marina. Ansaldo shipbuilding company, that developed the design of the new ships, focussed at developing the concept of the previous class of ships of this type - the Carlo Mirabello scout cruisers - combining significant firepower with high speed performance. In the period of 1921-1922 three destroyers, out of five ships ordered, were built at the Italian shipyards and all three received the names of large felines: Leone, Tigre and Pantera. After 15 years of service in the native waters of the Mediterranean Sea, the feline flotilla was sent to serve at the Massawa naval base in the Red Sea, where the ships met the entry of Italy into World War II ... cut off from the main forces of the fleet.
By this time, the destroyers were already worn out from time and tropical climate.
