German Destroyers: Part 2

Steam post image

Features of the Ship Branch

  • Accurate main battery guns with a large caliber for this ship type—150 mm.

  • Powerful AP shells with decent penetration, damage, and enhanced shell ricochet angles. They are capable of dealing significant damage to cruisers.

  • Good armor for their type, which effectively protects them against the HE shells of most destroyers (unless they have mastered the Inertia Fuse for HE Shells skill), as well as large HP pools. Combined with their effective artillery, this results in special gameplay for the new German destroyers. They are essentially agile ships that primarily focus on lone targets—light cruisers in particular.

  • The low damage per minute of their HE shells and their high detectability means that these new ships are quite ineffective when fighting for control of Key Areas.

  • The Smoke Generator consumable improves the already good survivability of the new ships even further. Starting from Tier IX, German destroyers have the Defensive AA Fire consumable, which allows them to counter enemy aircraft with greater confidence.

  • Despite their torpedoes' slow speed and pretty standard reload time for most destroyers, they can deal heavy damage and have good range.

Early Access

German destroyers VII Z-31 and VIII Gustav Julius Maerker, which hit the seas in Early Access with the release of Update 0.10.3, continue to be available in consecutive bundles at the Armory. IX Felix Schultz can be found in random bundles that are available in exchange for Doubloons in the Armory.
