Tier IX · Destroyer · Germany
Rating A+ (Strong within its tier and class · overall score 74) · Gunboat destroyer
Gunboat destroyer, suited to DD hunting. It is especially strong against destroyers and battleships (AP deals a same-tier destroyer's HP in about 87 s on paper · destroyer-calibre AP rarely overpens destroyers). Its AP main battery DPM of 47,790 is 36% above the same-tier destroyer average. High HE fire potential (3.3 fires/min before hit rate and resistance). It lacks stealth tools, so move behind islands. Its weak detectability (6.48 km) drops to 5.7 km with a stealth/mobility equipment build (at −5% HP).
