Section 12 of 32

KM gunboat DDs

Standard build

  • This build allows KM gunboat DDs to both support friendly DDs contesting objectives, as well as farm damage off large ships.
  • Considering the vast majority of German gunboat DDs’ damage comes from AP, HAP is preferred to BFT (7.5% AP DPM and alpha damage bonus vs 5.5% DPM bonus)
  • If you’re making a dedicated captain for Z-31 or Maerker, BFT is an option instead of AFT. You can put the leftover point into IFA or drop EL and pick DE or PT.
  • If you don’t have the Engine boost mod, use ERP.
  • Applies to Z-31, Maerker, Schultz and Elbing.

KM DPS DDs

Farming build

  • This build gives up any semblance of concealment in order to gain maximum damage output.
  • For Schultz, and Elbing if you don’t have the legendary upgrade, use MBM3 in slot 6.
  • If you don’t have the Engine boost mod, use ERP.
  • Applies to F. Schultz and Elbing.
