FHSW: Several new destroyers are introduced to bring the German navy up to par with other navies

One gap in Forgotten Hope and FHSW between the battleship Bismarck , Admiral Hipper heavy cruisers and their many submarines has been destroyers. Now the German navy will have everything from the first to last destroyers that started construction in the 1930s to the end of WWII.

Type 1934

Also known as the Z1 class this was a group of four destroyers whose design initially was limited by naval treaties but was quickly changed to better match destroyers of other navies. This is the first new ship type since the original US Elco and Japanese Type 38 PT boats with the ability to lay sea mines. Sea mines will be visible on the minimap for allies to avoid hitting them. The gun armament is fairly limited. While the main 12.8 cm guns can fire AA shells against aircraft they have limited gun elevation.

Type 1936

The Type 1936 or Z17 class have increased firepower with one additional 12.8 cm gun turret or 5 guns in total. While the firepower is somewhat mediocre it is faster than many other destroyers. The secondary anti-aircraft armament has also been increased with quad 20 mm guns and additional 3.7 cm guns. There will also a late war configuration with the single shot 3.7 cm guns replaced with clip fed Flak M42.

Type 1936A

The Type 1936A or Z31 class are the first German destroyers with 15 cm guns, more typical for a light cruiser. The amount of main guns is the same but it is also the first with a twin gun mount with high gun elevation. In this case it allowed for additonal AA guns in the front instead of two main gun turrets.

Type 1936C

Finally there is the Type 1936C or Z46 class. While in reality only two were laid down all five that were planned were cancelled this particular model also takes in to account how it would have been armed with additional AA guns as part of Project Barbara. It has six 12.8 cm main guns and a extraordinary AA armament with automatic twin 5.5 cm guns (similar to the Flakpanzer V in FHSW) and quad 30 mm guns.
