The most apparent differences will be the 360 degree traverse on all of her gun mounts and the flatter shell trajectory making them some of the easiest destroyer guns at Tier VIII to use. Lightning uses the 120 mm/50 QF Mk XI gun which has far improved characteristics over the guns that are used on Jervis. Similar to her predecessors she thrives in a defensive role.
Lightning is the Tier VIII ship in the British Destroyer Line and is a direct upgrade in terms of play style and capabilities over the Jervis. She would serve in WW2 for the Royal Navy from 1941 until 1943 when she was sunk by German torpedo boats while attempting to intercept a German Convoy. Lightning was laid down on November 15th, 1938 and launched April 22nd, 1940.
The defining feature of this class was their new QF 4.7-inch Mk XI guns which fired a heavier shell than their predecessors and were placed on fully enclosed weatherproof mounts. The L and M class destroyers were a class of destroyers built and launched between 19.
