Z-42 — Germany Special Tier X Destroyer.

Z-42 was ordered in July 1939 as a Type 1936B ship, and she was later reordered as a Type 1936A(Mob) destroyer. In February 1941, her construction was permanently canceled due to a lack of materials. Had the ship been completed as a naval air defense destroyer, she could have been equipped with twin 105 mm main guns.

Pros

HE shells with high armor penetration capabilities.
Heavy AP shell damage.
Enhanced Hydroacoustic Search consumable available.
Short-Burst Smoke Generator consumable available.

Few torpedo tubes.
