Would more Tatras and earlier destroyer investment change the Adriatic war?

What would change if Austria-Hungary acquired more Tatras before World War I and shifted from torpedo boats to destroyer construction around 1900?

Italy and its allies would probably still contain the fleet, but more destroyers would give Austria-Hungary greater freedom to conduct Adriatic operations, provide covering forces and absorb losses.

Ordering eighteen Tatras instead of six would probably leave Italy numerically superior, with French and British support still able to contain Austria-Hungary. More destroyers would nevertheless make that containment harder to enforce. A separate covering force could support raids, and losing two modern ships would no longer remove a third of the capable destroyer force. The proposal also considers shifting from torpedo-boat construction to destroyers around 1900, giving the navy more time to expand before the war. The decision to order only four wartime replacements draws criticism even after allowing for enormous land commitments. The expected benefit is greater freedom to conduct operations within the Adriatic, while Allied strategic superiority remains.
