Elbing Line (Gunboat DDs) - Standard Build
- Elbing line DDs are long range AP gunboats, preying on broadside cruisers and BBs who don’t respect her superb accuracy and lightning fast shells
- 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.
