German Naval History, Design, Performance & Dissection

I’m also excited, it will be the destroyer that I’ll leave as AA support for my lineup, still waiting for Tirpitz and H39.

I have to admit that I haven´t grinded the Z52. I´ve started it but I´ll do it with the next BP task.
I don´t want more big ships, I´d rather have more smaller ones. Königsberg, Blücher, Scheer and Lützow. Bremse, Brummer, Drache 1908, Flottentorpedoboot 1940, Flottentorpedoboot 1941, Geleitboot 1941, Flottenbegleiter and a lot of Beuteschiffe.

I can understand, they’re small ships but with a good dose of fun, I’m almost finished researching the Z-52, I like using a 100% WWII lineup of ships and planes, with torpedoeboats and capitalships, I hope they can introduce Arado Ar 196B and A5 in the future.

Z52 is alright. Lütjens is straight up superior for AA support due to rapid fire VTF available primaries and missiles.

Although the Z52 is both a smaller and more maneuverable target.

Thanks for sharing your experience, I hope to unlock it soon. I’ve just played a few matches with the Z52 and it’s a beast at its level.

I’d almost argue Z51 is superior due to the cracked out Base fuse HE but germany in general is pretty solid overall.

German battleships tend to lack penetration but have the fastest firerate of any nation. Westfalen is an unkillable brick for surface action but this comes at the caveat of poor performing, low penetration AP, no speed nor AA.

It’s in that weird BR of blatantly overpowered in a downtier but borderline worthless up tiered. At least it can resist some 7.0 shells

does anyone have a side photo of one of scarnhorsts or gniesnaus barbettes that shows the width allowing the future imporvement of the guns from 283mm to 380mm ?

As far as I know; this never got past initial planning before realizing it wasn’t worth it so I’m not sure if any artist interpretation exists
