Z-46 — German Tier IX destroyer.

A well-balanced design for a destroyer (Zerstörer 1936C type), intended for operations on the high seas. Her major distinction from the preceding classes was her artillery armament, comprising of up-to-date and dual-purpose main battery turret mounts.

Player Opinion

Performance

The Z-46 is arguably the best destroyer for its battle tier, featuring long range dual purpose artillery and hard hitting AP that even Battleships should fear. Even the mediocre HE that the Germans are known for is reasonable on the Z-46 when combined with the high 7% fire chance and rate of fire. The maneuverability is good, about on par with other destroyers(except rudder shift). The biggest complaint about the Z-46 is the rear super firing turrets, reducing your forward firepower. However, the twin rear turrets are actually a blessing in disguise, with the X turret able to fire forward with a tiny amount of angling and can allow you to keep other ships at arms length while retaining most of your firepower. The Shell arcs of the Z-46 are good, able to find the perfect balance between american arcs(for utilizing islands) and the flat arcs of the russians(for handling destroyers that dare to close with you). The Z-46 is not a ship to be ignored, She is an extremely capable ships in the right hands and shred targets with her powerful guns.

Pros:

  • Fast firing guns(highly recommended to install main battery mod 3 to boost RoF) and decently fast turret traverse
  • AP Shells are a threat to even battleships, with proper aim, dealing an average of 2500 damage per salvo to as high as 5500. Also gains 10% more penetration over the previous 12.8cm guns.
  • Shell arcs are arguably the best for any destroyer, taking the good aspects of both american and russian ballistics.
  • reasonable HE damage(though a bit low, rate of fire compensates) and good fire chance at 7%.
  • Turrets have good fields of fire, with the X turret able to fire forward with a tiny bit of angling.
  • Fast torpedoes and fastest torpedo reload of all Tier IX's, compensating for the low damage of the individual torpedoes(kinda)
  • Decent AA for a destroyer, though don't expect to shoot down many planes.
  • Decent ship speed, acceleration, HP and range.
  • Has normal Hydroacoustic Search (4.7km range)
  • Good concealment (5.9km)

Cons:

  • low torpedo damage
  • Slow(ish) rudder shift
  • Large turning radius
  • Shortest smoke duration of all Tier IX destroyers(make it count)
  • Battleship shells can deal normal penetration damage to it due to the thick structure.

Research

Either quickly research the B hull (to get that extra needed HP) first, or research the FKS Typ 9 Mod. 2 module for an increase on range from the abysmal stock range, then research the other. G7 Wolfsbarsch torpedoes should be researched last as they only give +1 kt and +0.5 km range.

Optimal Configuration

Upgrades

The recommended upgrades for Z-46 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 Z-46's Hydroacoustic Search While active, detects all enemy ships and torpedoes within the specified radius, without regard of obstacles such as smoke and terrain. duration to 118 seconds. Upgrade Slot 6 may be replaced by Main Battery Modification 3 : -12% main battery loading time. / -13% main battery traverse speed. or Gun Fire Control System Modification 2 : +16% firing range. for captains that prefer a main battery oriented build.

Commander Skills

Consumables

Players can equip the following consumables: Damage Control Party, Smoke Generator, Engine Boost, and Hydroacoustic Search.

Camouflage

Type 1, 2, or 5 camouflage can be equipped for credits; Types 1 or 5 are recommended at a minimum to reduce detectibility range.

Players who wish to spend doubloons can equip Z-46 with Type 19 camouflage that lowers her detection radius, reduces the accuracy of incoming shells, reduces her repair costs, and increases the amount of experience she earns.

Signals

The choice of which Signal Flags to mount will confer to the individual preference of each captain, and are subject to great variation, although there are certain flags which suit Destroyer gameplay better. Captains should mount India Yankee to decrease time to extinguish fires, mount November Foxtrot to decrease reload time of consumables, and mount Sierra Mike to increase the ship's maximum speed. To make their torpedoes more potent, captains should mount Juliet Whisky Unaone to increase chance of causing flooding and Juliet Charlie to mitigate risk to magazine detonation from mounting the former flag. If captains wish to buff their primary artillery, they are encouraged to mount Victor Lima + India X-ray to increase fire chance to HE shells.
