Torpedo boats good enough to be destroyers in game

They're destroyers. 

From the article on the Premuda: While they would be considered a destroyer in any other navy, the German Navy nevertheless retained the "torpedo boat" classification for these ships (although they, along with the B97s and G101s were often called destroyers).

Types 23 and 24 torpedo boats are incremental development of late World War I German "mobilization" destroyer designs. Tier 3 likely.

Type 39 "Elbing" class torpedo boat is already featured in game as V T-22 and late war German high seas torpedo boats seem to lack a unique niche: not different enough from T-22 yet still too weak for Tier VI.

Type 40 class is represented as VI T-61.

The Type 1916 destroyer as stated above is largely a German nomenclature oddity and it's a curiousity that why they aren't represented in the German gunboat destroyer branch.

...suuuure, Germany. We believe you.

There are a fair few WW1 large DD types which could be in the game, even at higher tiers (Jager is a good example). Low displacement can mean insufficient health for comfortable game play, as well as a period lack of AA. I agree that most of the ones being listed are already there in some firm or other, but there's always room for some 'what if?' upgrades.
