Special

Karl von Schönberg — German special premium Tier VI destroyer.

Project SK22, developed in 1933 and 1934, was based on 1916-class World War I super destroyers. One of the project versions suggested that the ships be equipped with four 150 mm guns. The operational use of such destroyers was considered debatable: The ship was too unstable a platform for artillery fire, even with her displacement exceeding 2,000 tons. This was one of the major reasons why the Kriegsmarine administration gave preference to a project with smaller caliber artillery.

Karl von Schönberg was first released for sale on 04 Nov 2021.

Performance

Karl von Schönberg is a Tier VI German premium destroyer, and in large parts comparable to the tech tree counterpart Ernst Gaede.

The most striking difference between these two ships is that Karl von Schönberg is more focused on gun performance, while compromising in other fields. As a result, Karl von Schönberg can only equip the stock torpedoes of Ernst Gaede and lacks the Hydroacoustic SearchWhile active, detects all enemy ships and torpedoes within the specified radius, without regard of obstacles such as smoke and terrain. consumable. In exchange however, Karl von Schönberg has faster firing 150mm guns with extended range, allowing for better performance when enagaging in artillery duels.

The rest of the characteristics remain the same, so Karl von Schönberg inherits the high hitpool of Ernst Gaede for the ability to take some hits, as well as decent forward firing angles. Furthermore, she is slow compared to the competition, and just like her counterpart has no real means of defending herself against aircraft.

Karl von Schönberg should be played at some distance, making use of the improved gun performance while not putting itself at risks that the Hydroacoustic Search consumable might help mitigate. Preferred targets are soft skinned cruisers showing their broadside, while efforts should be taken to avoid engaging destroyers in head to head duels. Aircraft carriers are especially dangerous to Karl von Schönberg due to the lack of effective AA armament.

Pros:

  • Relatively large health pool
  • Main battery reload quicker and has longer range than Ernst Gaede
  • The good German HE penetration
  • AP can citadel softer skinned cruisers
  • Has a Repair PartyWhile active, restores a percentage of the ship's health points each second. consumable

Cons:

  • Vulnerable hull
  • Low HE damage for the 150mm caliber
  • Mediocre torpedoes
  • Slim stealth torpedo window
  • Virtually defenseless against aircraft
  • Relatively slow top speed
  • Lacks a Hydroacoustic SearchWhile active, detects all enemy ships and torpedoes within the specified radius, without regard of obstacles such as smoke and terrain. consumable
