Members of the pre-beta test will be able to test this destroyer in one of the future tests, and results of this test will taken into account for the future development of our fleet. |
Originally laid down in 1936, the Type 1936 class destroyer served the Kriegsmarine faithfully in the early stages of WW2 and with other nations after the war had ended. Now, the time has come for this battle-hardened German veteran to prove its worth once more in one of the upcoming naval testing sessions in War Thunder, Kriegsmarine fans rejoice!
In the War Thunder, the Type 1936 class destroyer will hopefully see a much longer service time in the hands of our able captains, compared to its real life counterparts. Powered by two steam turbines, generating an impressive 70,000 horsepower, allow the ship to quickly reach its top speed of 38 knots (70 km/h). Ships of the Type 1936 class, besides being fast and agile, also pack a sizable punch. Apart from the five single 127mm primary cannons, the ship’s armament also consists of a number of double semi-automatic 37mm and a single fully-automatic 20mm AA cannons, supported by two quad-barrel 533mm torpedo launchers. The main guns also have base fuse HE ammo (besides AP and HE) that can penetrate enemy destroyer skin at an angle of 90 degrees and detonate inside the hull as an HE round. If this wasn’t enough, four depth charge launchers are also at your disposal, located on the aft of the ship. Of course, all of this serious weaponry needs crew to man it and officers to command it, thus the crew of the Type 1936 destroyer consisted of 323 men. With such a large crew, the ship is guaranteed to have a longer battle endurance when put up against some of its counterparts, meaning it will still be able to fight back even after having sustained noticeable damage and crew losses.
The Type 1936 destroyer shares many design features with already existing destroyers in the game, as she was laid down around the same time as her counterparts. Thanks to this, familiarity gathered from playing existing destroyers can easily be transferred and applied to the German newcomer, saving players the time and effort to get a proper feel for the new ship. The Type 1936 has set course for the the naval testing in War Thunder and is expected to appear on the battlefield shortly. Stay tuned to the news to find out more about upcoming naval forces content and testing sessions. Until next time!
