Z-31
Tier VII · Destroyer · Germany
Rating B- (Below average within its tier and class · overall score 47) · 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. With 9.0 km range and tight groupings but low speed, it suits setting up behind the line and firing from afar. Sluggish turning means you must start turning early to dodge shells and torpedoes.
