In-Game Description
The T-33C Class represents the Empire's best mix of relatively inexpensive design with powerful weaponry. Slower than most other escort destroyers, the T-33C has nevertheless proved itself a durable ship with an efficient selection of weaponry. Intended to engage enemies on the surface, the T-33C exchanges a three inch deck gun for a four inch one, and mounts eight torpedo tubes rather than two, letting it threaten much larger vessels. Currently, the Schichau-Werft yards at Saint-Nazaire and Danzig are the sole manufacturers of the Lohengrin Class, but Weltreich shipyards from Hamburg to Liverpool have reportedly received large production orders for this vessel.

Performance Vs. Air
The T-33C Lohengrin Class Escort Destroyer has good Anti-Aircraft weaponry, and is more than capable of defending itself against most aircraft, as it is armed with the same weaponry that is fitted on the American Buckley Class Escort Destroyer a total of 8 20mm AA guns, and a total of 2 40mm AA guns. Thus, like the Buckley, the T-33C Lohengrin Class Escort Destroyer would sufficiently be able to defend itself against 3 planes.

Performance Vs. Submarine
The T-33C Lohengrin Class Escort Destroyer is easily able to dodge 3 torpedoes with a skilled captain, with its fast turning speed. As for it's K-guns and it's DC racks, it has a sufficient amount of weaponry to destroy an enemy submarine.
