| + | The Ernst Gaede excels at sticking with your team. If you are near a cruiser or battleship, they could help cover you and take damage from long range as you watch their flanks for enemy destroyers or provide support in close range engagements. The ideal comp for a blob would be a cruiser, a battleship, and a destroyer (not you, another one). | |||

Special
[[Ship:|]] — N/A special premium Tier N/A.
One of the designs for the Zerstörer 1934 destroyer. The ship was designed to be relatively large for her type and featured a very powerful artillery armament of 150 mm cruiser caliber guns. This caliber was unusual for destroyers.

Player Opinion
Performance
The Ernst Gaede is a vast improvement to its predecessor, the T-22, although it does retain some characteristics from her. The Ernst Gaede still only has four guns to work with, however these guns are much larger and much more effective than the guns found on the T-22. Her torpedoes are a slight improvement to her predecessor's, with the upgraded torpedoes having 8.0km range. This allows some room for the Ernst Gaede to fire torpedoes from stealth, even if the ranges to work with are narrow.
She, as with her successor Z-23 two tiers later, has the intriguing choice between two different calibers of guns: the standard 128 mm destroyer guns, and 150 mm guns that more resemble light cruiser guns (albeit with fewer barrels than a light cruiser). Both have their advantages:Pros:
- 150mm guns are absurdly powerful for a destroyer.
- Can deliver torpedo strikes from beyond her detection range.
- Torpedoes are fast with good range and hitting power for Tier VI. Her upgraded torpedoes are the same ones found on Admiral Graf Spee.
- Largest health pool of all tech tree Tier VI destroyers.
- Hydroacoustic Search
consumable.
Cons:
- Sub-par handling characteristics for a destroyer: slow rudder shift and a turning radius larger than some Tier VI cruisers.
- 150mm guns traverse even slower than the 128mm ones after accounting for captain skills.
- Large detection radius (on par with Farragut).
- Longest torpedo reload time of all Tier VI destroyers.
Research
Ernst Gaede is a very interesting ship; she's one of a handful that have access to two different gun calibers. Hull (B) is a fairly minor upgrade to her anti-aircraft suite and rudder shift. The upgraded Fire Control System module is the best thing to invest in first, providing a badly needed increase in range. After that, it's largely captain's preference. Captains can unlock the improved Main Battery module in order to experiment with the 150mm guns, or spend experience on a minor torpedo buff. Hull (B): the rudder shift buff is nice but not essential and the improvement to her AA battery is largely cosmetic.

Consumables
' can equip the following consumables:
- Slot 1: Damage Control Party
- Slot 2: Smoke Generator
- Slot 3: Engine Boost
- Slot 4: 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 Ernst Gaede with Type 16 camouflage that lowers her detection radius, reduces the accuracy of incoming shells, and increases the amount of experience she earns.
Alternatively, the 2018 New Year raid campaign provided captains with the Snowy camouflage with the same bonuses as the premium.
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 Whiskey 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.Gallery
