Special

Georg Hoffmann — German special premium Tier X destroyer.

A large destroyer armed with 150 mm artillery, she is remarkably similar to light cruisers in terms of her size and characteristics. Part of an unimplemented "Type 1938A" project, this destroyer variant was planned to have enhanced anti-aircraft and torpedo armament and be capable of operating in the Atlantic.
