Z-42 — German special premium Tier X destroyer.
Z-42 was ordered in July 1939 as a Type 1936B ship, and she was later reordered as a Type 1936A(Mob) destroyer. In February 1941, her construction was permanently canceled due to a lack of materials. Had the ship been completed as a naval air defense destroyer, she could have been equipped with twin 105 mm main guns.
Z-42 was first released 15 February 2023 with Update 12.1 and is available in the Armory for 27,000 Steel.
