Hi Vecko,

I stumbled on a little error in TWoS roster:

Polish destroyer ORP Wicher is inaccurately represented in game by Type 34 model, which it didn't resemble at all. Real ORP Wicher was copy of French Bourrasque, which we fortunately also have in game - replacing current model with Bourrasque clone would give Wicher its historical appearance:

I guess using Type 34 might be result of confusion with post-war, Soviet-built ship of the same name which did resemble Type 34

Similar situation with another Polish destroyer ORP Grom, which uses Tribal class 3D model, when real ORP Grom (photo) was more similar to (also present in game) R-Class destroyer (photo). And again, the only ORP Grom with two stacks like Tribal and similar bow shape is post-war ORP Grom from 1950, also built in USSR (photo)
