Pros:

• Large health pool at tier VIII compare to other DDs
• Tough side plating
• AP shell have high damage
• Improved AA arnament
• Torpedoes have long range
• Smoke Generator’s smoke lasts longer than Z-23’s

Cons:

• Lacks of Hydroacoustic Search
• Slow torpedoes

Research

Researchable upgrades for Gustav-Julius Maerker is as follows:

• Hull: Upgrade to Hull (B) for a larger health pool, improved maneuverability, and especially better AA. Research of this module unlocks progress toward IX Felix Schultz.
• Gun Fire Control System: Upgrade to FKS Typ 8 Mod.2 for an extra 10% range on the main battery.

Optimal Configuration

Upgrades

Recommended upgrades for Gustav-Julius Maerker:

• Slot 1: Main Armaments Modification 1
• Slot 2: Engine Room Protection
• Slot 3: Aiming Systems Modification 1
• Slot 4: Propulsion Modification 1
• Slot 5: Concealment System Modification 1  *

Because of the lack of hydro-acoustic search capability, and if primarily firing at range, a Torpedo Lookout System might prove more useful. Also consider Steering Gears Modification 2 .
