German Destroyers: Part 1[/h2]
Features of the Ship Branch
  • Accurate main battery guns with a large caliber for this ship type—150 mm.
  • Powerful AP shells with decent penetration, damage, and enhanced shell ricochet angles. They are capable of dealing significant damage to cruisers.
  • Good armor for their type, which effectively protects against HE shells of most destroyers (unless they have mastered the Inertia Fuse for HE Shells skill), and large HP pools. Combined with effective artillery, this results in special gameplay for the new German destroyers. They are essentially agile ships that primarily focus on lone targets—light cruisers particularly.
  • The low damage per minute of their HE shells and their high detectability means that these new ships are quite ineffective when fighting for control of Key Areas.
  • The Smoke Generator consumable improves the already good survivability of the new ships even further. Starting from Tier IX, German destroyers have the Defensive AA Fire consumable, which allows them to confront enemy squadrons with greater confidence.
  • Their torpedoes deal heavy damage and have good range and a reload time that is quite standard for most destroyers, but they are rather slow.

"German destroyers: Part 1" Combat Missions [/h2] Starts: Thu. 15 Apr. 07:00 CEST (UTC+2) Ends: Thu. 20 May 07:00 CEST (UTC+2)

The new game event tasks you with completing 25 missions spread across five weekly chains. The first chain will become available with the release of Update 0.10.3, while those that follow will be unlocked on a weekly basis. The rewards for completing the missions are German Tokens. For completing all chains of combat missions, you can earn 5,000 German Tokens.
    The amount of Tokens that can be earned by completing weekly chains of combat missions and obtained from the Kriegsmarine Trophies free random bundles in the Armory will be enough to obtain VII Z-31 and the Iron Cross permanent camouflage from sequentially available bundles.

Free Bundles[/h2]
The Armory is offering the Kriegsmarine Trophies free random bundles. Within them, you'll find German Tokens, 1 day of Premium Account, Doubloons, and other rewards.
The bundles are available until: Thu. 06 May 08:00 CEST (UTC+2)
    You can obtain only one bundle per day. A total of 14 bundles will be available, so you can skip 7 days and still be able to collect all the rewards.
