Felix Schultz — German Tier IX destroyer.

A further development of the project for a destroyer that was intended to operate in the Atlantic (Type 1938A). In terms of her size, the ship was nearly as large as a cruiser. One specific feature of the project was that all of her main battery guns were placed in twin turrets.

Felix Schultz was first available during Update 0.10.5 on 17th Jun 2021.

Player Opinion

Pros:

Powerful main battery consisting of 150mm guns with superb accuracy
25mm midsection causes small caliber HE shells to shatter
High amount of hitpoints, second best at her tier
Great shell ballistics with flat arcs and high velocity, comparable to Tier X cruiser Hindenburg
Improved HE penetration, typical of German ships
Improved penetration angles on her AP shells
Long range torpedoes with a quick reload and good detection

Cons:

Large size, comparable to some light cruisers
Abysmal turning radius with a sluggish rudder
Slow reload rate, with very poor HE damage output
Slow torpedoes
Lacks the Hydroacoustic Search  consumable

Research

Availability of researchable upgrades for Felix Schultz is as follows:

Hull: Upgrade to Hull (B) for slightly better hit points, AA defense, and rudder shift. Research of this module unlocks progression to Elbing.
Gun Fire Control System: Upgrade to FKS Typ 9 Mod. 2 for an extra 10% range on the main battery.

Optimal Configuration

Upgrades

The recommended upgrades for Felix Schultz are as follows:

Slot 1: Main Armaments Modification 1
Slot 2: Engine Room Protection
Slot 3: Aiming Systems Modification 1
Slot 4: Propulsion Modification 1
Slot 5: Steering Gears Modification 2 *
Slot 6: Main Battery Modification 3 for faster reload.

Because of the lack of hydro-acoustic search capability, consider a Torpedo Lookout System in Slot 5. Of course, some captains won't feel comfortable without Concealment System Modification 1 .

Commander Skills

While the range of Felix Schultz's torpedoes is long enough that they can be considered an offensive weapon, they are not the ship's primary strength. Skill points are better invested elsewhere.
