German destroyer Z-35, Tier VIII.
At the moment, the concept of Z-35 involves the following features:
- 128 mm guns with good rate of fire. HE-shells have low maximum damage, but a high penetration capacity of 32mm, and AP shells have high maximum damage;
- Low torpedo range;
- Good amount of Hit Points;
- No “Engine Boost” consumable;
- “Smoke Genrator” consumable similar to British destroyers, with a high number of charges and fast reload.
In terms of gameplay, Z-35 –like other German destroyers– is versatile. Because of the availablilty of “Hydroacoustic Search”, a fast “Smoke Generator” reload, good main caliber guns, and a large Hit Point pool, the destroyer is capable of fighting for key areas as well as battling almost any opponent. However, lacking the “Engine Boost” consumable makes it hard for her to immediately change position in case of danger.
Z-35 is now a Tier VIII ship.
The concept of German aircraft carriers implies AP rockets and bombs, slow torpedoes with high damage, and planes with high speed and relatively low HP pools.
