Gustav-Julius Maerker
Tier VIII · Destroyer · Germany
Rating D (Bottom tier within its tier and class · overall score 7) · Long-range destroyer
Long-range destroyer, suited to DD hunting. It is especially strong against cruisers (AP deals a same-tier cruiser's HP in about 3 min on paper). Each Repair Kit restores 20% of max HP, up to 60% over a battle (standard 50%). Tanking damage and healing it back is this ship's biggest weapon. 3 charges of Smoke Generator let it break vision and escape whenever it gets caught. Main battery range is 9.7 km (1.1 km longer than average), and dispersion at 6 km is about 82 m, 27% tighter than average.
