Unless they're badly wounded, courting a gun duel with either of the latter is inadvisable. She's more than capable of defeating any of the Tier VI Japanese destroyers or Farragut in a straight up gunfight, but her low health pool will work against her when up against Ernst Gaede or Gnevny. Juruá acquits herself well in close-range combat - especially if captains equip Main Battery Modification 2 - or as an extreme nuisance to enemy capital ships with the higher-than-average (for Tier VI, anyway) fire chance on her high explosive rounds. While her firing range is significantly shorter than that of her US Navy counterpart, Juruá’s reload time, turret traverse time, and shell arcs are comparable. Her guns will feel vaguely familiar to players accustomed to Farragut. The trade-off for this flexibility is the longest torpedo reload of all Tier VI destroyers and some of the worst torpedo firing angles of any destroyer in the game the farthest forward that Juruá can rotate her torpedo launchers is nearly 60 degrees off the bow, for example.

This greatly increases her tactical flexibility, allowing her to spread her torpedo salvos around in a variety of different directions and angles and wreak havoc on enemy formations. What makes Juruá unique is that she retains the ability of British cruisers to launch her torpedoes singly. She carries them in a pair of quadruple-tube, centerline-mounted launchers - just like American counterpart Farragut - with a speed and range similar to the fish found deployed aboard Shinonome and Ernst Gaede. Juruá’s torpedoes are identical to those deployed aboard Tier VI British cruiser Leander and pack a nasty punch for the tier, topping out at over 15,000 alpha damage. She is something of a mix of existing destroyer styles, packing torpedoes that will remind players of those found on Japanese destroyers married with main battery guns that are analogous to those of the American destroyer line. In game terms, Juruá is a clone of HMS Gallant. Juruá marks the third entry of Pan American ships into World of Warships.
