?The Zerstörer 1934 and 1934A Projects were the first destroyers that the German Navy started to build since the First World War. The current destroyers in their inventory were the spares from that era and the Navy knew they needed an upgrade in order to match the ships that were being added to rival navies. +After World War 1 the German Navy started planning for new destroyers in 1932. While the majority of designs and proposels were made by official sites, private companies also attempted to design the first generation of German Destroyers. One of these drafts came from the AG Vulcan Stettin, which was located in Hamburg. This design allowed an armament of four single mounted 128mm or 150mm guns and two Torpedo launchers, either in triple or quadruple mountings.
 + 
 +However, in 1933 it was decided that the Destroyer should have two quadruple Torpedo launchers and a fifth gun mount. As the latter requirement could not be met with this design, it was dropped and no longer considered.

?The ship equipped the, then new, Wagner power system of boilers and turbines. The Wagner system could operate at increased loads; effectively generating 400˚C heat and 70atm of pressure, which in turn was effective in steam production. The Wagner boilers also had autonomous tracking of various inputs and conditions, making them effective in most operational conditions. The generated steam was sent into geared turbines, which themselves were more power efficient than ungeared turbines on previous designs. On paper, this was an effective power plant that was projected to generate over 70,000 shaft horsepower and propel the ship past 35 knots. +File:Gaede.jpg|Rough sketch of the Zerstörer 1934 proposal made by A.G. Vulcan Stettin
?The project ships also carried a well-rounded armament. 128mm rifles were chosen as the primary armament for the ships, for they had guns had good handling characteristics, and more so, they had a very high rate-of-fire (a characteristic highly valued by German Navy officers). For a ship designed in the 1930s, it possessed a decent anti-aircraft suite; a plethora of 20mm and 37mm anti-aircraft guns. Furthermore, it was armed with torpedoes and mines; a standard for any first-rate destroyer. +
?The Zerstörer 1934 and 1934A destroyers were all built by three primary ship builders (Deutsche Werke, A. G. Weser, and Germaniawerft) around 1934 – 1935, and came into service around 1937 – 1938; in all 16 destroyers were of these two similar classes, with 7 seeing the end of the war. +

[[Ship:|]] — N/A special premium Tier  N/A.

One of the designs for the Zerstörer 1934 destroyer. The ship was designed to be relatively large for her type and featured a very powerful artillery armament of 150 mm cruiser caliber guns. This caliber was unusual for destroyers.

Player Opinion

Performance

The Ernst Gaede is a vast improvement to its predecessor, the T-22, although it does retain some characteristics from her. The Ernst Gaede still only has four guns to work with, however these guns are much larger and much more effective than the guns found on the T-22. Her torpedoes are a slight improvement to her predecessor's, with the upgraded torpedoes having 8.0km range. This allows some room for the Ernst Gaede to fire torpedoes from stealth, even if the ranges to work with are narrow.

She, as with her successor Z-23 two tiers later, has the intriguing choice between two different calibers of guns: the standard 128 mm destroyer guns, and 150 mm guns that more resemble light cruiser guns (albeit with fewer barrels than a light cruiser). Both have their advantages:

Advantages of 128 mm:

  • Higher rate of fire.
  • Higher raw AP DPM.
  • Benefits (more) from Expert Marksman, Basic Firing Training, and Advanced Firing Training captain skills.

Advantages of 150 mm:

  • Higher alpha damage.
  • Higher fires per minute.
  • Better ballistics and penetration.
She is also the first destroyer in the German destroyer line to have the Hydroacoustic Search While active, detects all enemy ships and torpedoes within the specified radius, without regard of obstacles such as smoke and terrain. consumable, although this is only found on the upgraded hull. Her Hydroacoustic Search While active, detects all enemy ships and torpedoes within the specified radius, without regard of obstacles such as smoke and terrain. has the same acquisition ranges as the non-German cruisers, which allows her to play very aggressively and ambush enemy targets hiding in smokescreens or behind terrain as well as screening for enemy torpedoes and contesting capture points. Compounded with the hard-hitting 150mm guns, the Ernst Gaede can launch vicious surprise attacks on enemy destroyers and eliminate them from the game. While her detection may not make ambushes the most logical of actions, taking advantage of terrain and the enemy's positioning will allow for successful attacks.

Pros:

  • 150mm guns are absurdly powerful for a destroyer.
  • Can deliver torpedo strikes from beyond her detection range.
  • Torpedoes are fast with good range and hitting power for Tier VI. Her upgraded torpedoes are the same ones found on Admiral Graf Spee.
  • Largest health pool of all Tier VI destroyers.
  • Gains access to the Hydroacoustic Search While active, detects all enemy ships and torpedoes within the specified radius, without regard of obstacles such as smoke and terrain. consumable (B Hull Only!).

Cons:

  • Sub-par handling characteristics for a destroyer: slow rudder shift and a turning radius larger than some Tier VI cruisers.
  • 150mm guns traverse even slower than the 128mm ones after accounting for captain skills.
  • Large detection radius (on par with Farragut).
  • Longest torpedo reload time of all Tier VI destroyers.

Research

Ernst Gaede is a very interesting ship; she's one of a handful that have access to two different gun calibers. Coupled with the fact that Hull (B) is a fairly minor upgrade to her anti-aircraft suite and rudder shift only, the upgraded Fire Control System module is the best thing to invest in first. After that, it's largely captain's preference. Captains can unlock the improved Main Battery module in order to experiment with the 150mm guns, or spend experience on a minor torpedo buff. Hull (B) can be taken whenever captains choose; the rudder shift buff is nice but not essential and the improvement to her AA battery is largely cosmetic.

Optimal Configuration

Upgrades

The recommended upgrades for ' are as follows:

Upgrade Slot 2 may be replaced by the Hydroacoustic Search Modification 1 Increases the action time of the Hydroacoustic Search and Short-Range Hydroacoustic Search consumables.: +20% action time. upgrade to extend the '’s Hydroacoustic Search duration to 113 seconds.

Commander Skills

Consumables

' can equip the following consumables:


As with all destroyers, captains are encouraged to invest the credits (or doubloons) in Damage Control Party II (When activated, instantly repairs fires, floods, and incapacitations, and prevents more for the duration.) to ensure the ability to extinguish fires and repair broken engine or rudder modules more quickly. Whether or not to equip premium versions of other consumables is up to individual captains.

Camouflage

Type 1, 2, or 5 camouflage can be equipped for credits; Types 1 or 5 are recommended at a minimum to reduce detectibility range.

Players who wish to spend doubloons can equip Ernst Gaede with Type 16 camouflage that lowers her detection radius, reduces the accuracy of incoming shells, and increases the amount of experience she earns.

Alternatively, the 2018 New Year raid campaign provided captains with the Snowy camouflage with the same bonuses as the premium.

Signals

The choice of which Signal Flags to mount will confer to the individual preference of each captain, and are subject to great variation, although there are certain flags which suit Destroyer gameplay better. Captains should mount India Yankee to decrease time to extinguish fires, mount November Foxtrot to decrease reload time of consumables, and mount Sierra Mike to increase the ship's maximum speed. To make their torpedoes more potent, captains should mount Juliet Whisky Unaone to increase chance of causing flooding and Juliet Charlie to mitigate risk to magazine detonation from mounting the former flag. If captains wish to buff their primary artillery, they are encouraged to mount Victor Lima + India X-ray to increase fire chance to HE shells.
