Z-52 — German Tier X destroyer.

One of the last German destroyers (Zerstörer 1942C) to be laid down before the end of World War II. She had dimensions that were considered to be quite significant for a ship of her type. Owing to dual-purpose artillery and up-to-date automatic AA mounts, this ship boasted very powerful AA defenses.

Player Opinion

Performance

The Z-52 is the final ship in the German destroyer line.

The defining feature of the Z-52 is her Hydroacoustic Search  consumable. Deviating from the standard Hydroacoustic Search  that the other German destroyers have, the Z-52 can use the stronger German cruiser Hydroacoustic Search . From her predecessor Z-46, her hydro increases from 98 seconds duration to 122 seconds duration, ship spotting goes up from 5km to 6km, and torpedo spotting goes from 3.5km to 4km. These significant increases in range allow the Z-52 to control capture points and push out enemy destroyers, with her concealment just 0.1km larger then her hydro range. She can also mount the Hydroacoustic Search Modification 1 , which further boosts the Hydroacoustic Search  duration to 146 seconds. While taking a position between allies and the enemy, she can spot torpedoes from a long distance away before they can hit any ally as well as screen tactical points for any sneaky enemies ship hiding behind cover.

Besides the vastly improved Hydroacoustic Search , there is not much difference between the Z-52 and the Z-46. Their guns are identical, besides a 1.1km difference in firing range and gun layout. Her torpedoes, once upgraded, only have 0.5km more range and are only 2 knots faster than her predecessor's torpedoes. There is only a 400 hit point difference between Z-46 and Z-52, a difference that only widens to 750 hit points at most with the Survivability Expert captain skill.

A major downside to her is the thickness of the ship and her detection. Similar to the Z-46, cruiser and destroyer armor piercing shells have a tendency of dealing full penetration hits on her instead of just overpens. Her fairly large hit point pool can evaporate in a matter of seconds when under fire, and having a sub-par detection range for a Tier X destroyer compounds the problem. With 6.1km as maximum concealment, all non-Russian or French destroyers can outdetect the Z-52, which places her at a disadvantage when engaging and disengaging in gunfights.

Pros:

Good main battery rate of fire and traverse speed
Excellent HE penetration, being able to pen 32mm plating
High AP alpha damage
Fast torpedoes with good range
Fastest torpedo reload speed among Tier 10 destroyers
Good AA suite
Fairly good hitpoint pool
Long range and long lasting Hydroacoustic Search  consumable

Cons:

Worst Smoke Generator  performance in tier/class
Low torpedo damage and flood chance
Large turn radius and subpar rudder shift
Fairly poor concealment
Large target, tends to eat full penetrations from all non-BB AP shells

Research

Z-52 is one of the few Tier 10 ships that do not come elite when purchased. The only researcheable module are the G7 Steinwal torpedoes, which provide a small increase in torpedo range and speed.

Optimal Configuration

Upgrades

The recommended upgrades for Z-52 are as follows:

Slot 1: Main Armaments Modification 1
Slot 2: Engine Room Protection *
Slot 3: Aiming Systems Modification 1 or Torpedo Tubes Modification 1
Slot 4: Propulsion Modification 1
Slot 5: Concealment System Modification 1 
Slot 6: Main Battery Modification 3 or Torpedo Tubes Modification 2

If available, captains are encouraged to install Hydroacoustic Search Modification 1 in Upgrade Slot 2 in order to extend Z-52’s Hydroacoustic Search  duration to 146 seconds.

Consumables

Z-52 can equip the following consumables:

Slot 1: Damage Control Party 
Slot 2: Smoke Generator 
Slot 3: Engine Boost 
Slot 4: Hydroacoustic Search

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.

Recommended Signal Flags
