Leberecht Maass — German Tier VII destroyer.

The first destroyer of the next generation (Zerstörer 1934 type), which paved the way for the development of ships of this type in the German navy until the end of World War II. Thanks to large dimensions and robust design, she had excellent survivability.

Player Opinion

Performance

A relative newcomer to Tier VII, Leberecht Maass — known historically as "Z1" — finds herself amongst stiff competition. Japanese contemporaries Akatsuki and Shiratsuyu are the undisputed kings of torpedo attacks at this tier; American counterpart Mahan has the best guns for close-range combat (though her detection isn't great); Russian destroyer Minsk is very nearly a light cruiser with her large detection range, comfortable shell ballistics, and rate of fire. So what sets Maass apart from the crowd?

For starters, Leberecht Maass has the largest health pool of all Tier VII destroyers. Successful Maass captains will quickly learn how to bully other ships out of contested map areas by utilizing her health advantage. She falls somewhere in between the Japanese and Americans in terms of armaments: her torpedoes are solid and reload fairly quickly, while her guns give her the rate-of-fire to engage in close-range combat with other destroyers as long as captains are smart enough to compensate for her slow turret traverse. Maass’ 8.5 km range torpedoes are married to a hull with a 7.7 km base detection radius, enabling her to launch torpedo attacks from the cover of stealth. Though she lacks access to the 150mm main battery mounts of her predecessor and successor, she does retain Ernst Gaede’s access to the Hydroacoustic SearchWhile active, detects all enemy ships and torpedoes within the specified radius, without regard of obstacles such as smoke and terrain. consumable. This makes her ideal for defending caps or pushing enemy destroyers out of their smoke.

Maass’ handling is a bit of a mixed bag, with a larger-than-average turning circle and a slightly-slower-than-average rudder shift speed. She is also very slow to accelerate and decelerate, and sheds a lot of speed during hard turns. Her huge detection radius makes her almost unplayable without the Concealment Expert skill, and her anti-aircraft suite isn't worth mentioning. The aforementioned turret traverse speed is very nearly Japanese levels of bad, making Expert Marksman and/or Main Battery Modification 2 required skills or upgrades, respectively.

All told, Leberecht Maass is a versatile destroyer capable of engaging in stealthy torpedo attacks in the early game while shifting to a more aggressive stance as the game progresses, using her health advantage to bully enemy destroyers and ensure map dominance for her team.

Pros:

  • Good main battery rate of fire
  • Excellent AP DPM and HE penetration
  • Good torpedo range and reload speed
  • Fairly fast, with a base speed of 37 knots
  • Large healthpool, the largest among Tier 7 techtree destroyers
  • Access to the Hydroacoustic SearchWhile active, detects all enemy ships and torpedoes within the specified radius, without regard of obstacles such as smoke and terrain. consumable

Cons:

  • Shell arcs are high, making hitting targets at long range fairly difficult
  • Poor main battery traverse speed
  • Poor concealment
  • Worst Smoke GeneratorWhile active, generates a smoke screen that blocks line-of-sight for both enemies and teammates. in tier/class
  • Large turn radius
  • Weak AA defenses, vulnerable to planes

Optimal Configuration

Upgrades

The recommended upgrades for Leberecht Maass 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 Leberecht Maass’s Hydroacoustic Search duration to 113 seconds.

Commander Skills

Key skills for Leberecht Maass commanders include Priority Target at Level 1, Last Stand at Level 2, Survivability Expert at Level 3, and Concealment Expert at Level 4. There are a large variety of good skill choices in the middle tiers that provide a lot of utility available to Leberecht Maass commanders, such as Expert Marksman, Superintendent, and Jack of All Trades. Basic Firing Training or Torpedo Armament Expertise allow commanders to specialize in improving one (or both) types of primary armament as they choose.

Consumables

Leberecht Maass can equip the following consumables:

Signals

The choice of which signal flags to mount will reflect the individual preferences of each captain, although there are certain flags which simply suit destroyer gameplay better. Captains should mount November Foxtrot (-5% reload time on all consumables.) to decrease reload time of consumables and Sierra Mike (+5% to the ship's maximum speed.) to increase the ship's maximum speed. Captains wishing to make their torpedoes more potent should mount Juliet Whisky Unaone (+15% chance of causing flooding. / +5% to the risk of your ship's magazine detonating.) to increase chance of causing flooding, and Juliet Charlie (-100% to the risk of your ship's magazine detonating.) to mitigate risk to magazine detonation from mounting the former flag. If captains wish to buff their main battery guns, they are encouraged to mount Victor Lima (+1% chance of causing a fire for bombs and shells with a caliber above 160mm / +0.5% chance of causing a fire for bombs and shells with a caliber below 160mm. / +4% chance of causing flooding.) and India X-Ray (+1% chance of causing a fire for bombs and shells with a caliber above 160mm. / +0.5% chance of causing a fire for bombs and shells with a caliber below 160mm. / +5% to the risk of your ship's magazine detonating.) to increase fire chance to HE shells.


Note: Use of the Juliet Charlie signal makes detonation impossible.
