Though short ranged, the increased warning time provided is more than sufficient to trivialize the dangers of enemy torpedoes. Similarly, her Hydroacoustic Search has offensive and defensive uses. Her flexibility allows her to keep up with the pace of battle either on the attack or the retreat. She can quickly redeploy and then slow down to once again take advantage of her Smoke Generator's concealment and resume attacking. Other ships must risk leaving their smoke cover if a battle progresses away from where they initially laid it.

This has the obvious benefits of making it more difficult to attack Haida with blind-fire drops of torpedoes, bombs and shells, but it may also be used offensively. Haida’s Crawling Smoke Generator allows her to remain mobile while hidden. Haida can out-fight anything that out-spots her and she can out-spot anything that she cannot out-fight. Of these, most are Japanese destroyers and present little in the way of a threat to this gunship. Her surface detection is one of the lowest found within her matchmaking spread with just a handful of ships being more stealthy. Haida’s greatest asset is her ability to spot for her team and tightly control which ships spot her in return. Unique among Tier VII destroyers, she is incredibly stealthy while still having a sizable hit point pool and decent agility. She is adept at applying pressure to capture points early on, providing forward vision for her team and foiling enemy ships from doing the same. Her play style is that of a forward scout and destroyer-hunter. The first Canadian warship to come to World of Warships, HMCS Haida is a ship that belongs on the front lines.
