Georg Hoffmann: Tier X German Destroyer 1945

A large destroyer armed with 150 mm artillery, it is very similar to light cruisers in size and characteristics. Part of an unimplemented “Type 1938A” project, this destroyer variant would have enhanced anti-aircraft and torpedo armament and would be capable of operating in the Atlantic.

Key Features

• Fast Variant: A quick version of Felix Schultz, capable of delivering effective damage with HE shells due to improved HE penetration and fast main battery reload.
• Torpedo Arsenal: Equipped with fast reloading, long-range torpedoes complementing its artillery.
• Consumables: Features a combination of Smoke Generator and improved Hydroacoustic Search, along with Defensive AA Fire and Engine Boost in separate slots.
• Trade-offs: Lacks the improved AP characteristics, accuracy, and armor plating of similar ships, and has poor concealment which affects open water engagements.

Gameplay

• Second-Line Destroyer: Act as a support vessel, staying behind the front lines.
• HE Shells and Torpedoes: Use HE shells to push enemies away and torpedoes to damage larger ships.
• Hydroacoustic Search: Utilize this tool from cover or with Smoke Generator for defense.
• Positioning: Be cautious of enemy ships with strong ballistics due to the large hull size. Avoid being an easy target.
