G. J. Maerker — German Tech Tree Tier VII Destroyer.

The 1937-class destroyer was developed as a ship with a long effective range. She was envisioned as a protector or attacker of Atlantic convoys, and she was designed to be able to operate in the tropics. Variant 1937J was selected as the base for the project. However, in April 1938, the development was discontinued because merging adequate combat power, range, speed, and reliability in one hull wasn't realistic.


Year of Design: 1937

Ship Traits
Tough: Above average base HP rating.	Superior AP pen: Above-average AP shell penetration.	Sure Shot: Shells with a good ballistic trajectory maintain velocity, making aiming easier.
