Z-35 - German Destroyer | World of Warships

[@clayton4570]

A Bayard would be insane, I just picked it up and I’m in dire need of help since I feel like it has a high skill ceiling! Love the series tho!

[@MalteseKnight]

Bayard, highly requested, sure :D

[@vtr0104]

The Bayard is a good ship, and you do get some decent utility with it by retaining Hydro (instead of giving it up for some gimmick like Premiums usually end up doing) along with your Reload and Engine Boosters, but much like the Colbert, you have to be VERY careful who you engage and from where. Meaning you and the Minimap need to be as intimate as Homer Simpson and donuts. Due to the design of the hull, not only do you have a massive free-board, but your Citadel's high up too, meaning you get blapped from either the side, plunging fire or, if there are big enough guns, just straight from the front. Islands and friendly smoke-screens are your friends, or you can stay with your Team and hope that a BB or someone else will distract the enemy long enough for you to get shots in. Just be careful with aiming, you'll be tempted to get your back turrets off, but you have to show a lot of side to do that (reminds me of the GK or Vanguard) and you might end up suffering for it. Regardless, with the Reload Booster active, you'll either set whatever you're shooting at on fire enough to annoy them or outright kill them. For DDs in particular, the Bayard is a bane to their existence, it's fast enough to reach caps more-or-less at the same time as DDs, and wherever you have caps with islands in them that you can make use of, you can deny the Cap and force the enemy Team to do something about you. The DD cannot engage you directly as you can literally delete them if your MRB is available and with Hydro they'll have a hard time torping you too, unless they YOLO into suicide range where they can actually end up torpedoed instead (don't try to YOLO at BBs yourself either, you only have 3 torps per side and the damage isn't anywhere close to what the IJN get. The only good part about them is that the aiming angles are stupidly-sharp, you can almost torp straight in front or behind you). Anyhoo, bottom line is, if you're careful, it can be a very fun ship to play and very rewarding. But if you don't pay attention, most of your matches will end with very fast trips back to Port and you'll just think it's a frustrating ship to play.

When I was playing the hell out of the z35, I would use dazzle, ce and rpf along with the usual SE AR LS and PM.constantly jumping in and out of smoke to keep dazzle running.

[@MalteseKnight]

Interesting!

[@PL-kt2hi]

z-46 is my go-to DD when the ranked season allow for it

[@rjcolombe]

Same. I like playing ships that counter the typical "meta ships" of each season.

[@MalteseKnight]

Z-46 is incredibly strong and fun, I’ve played it quite a lot as well.

[@rjcolombe]

Thanks for fulfilling this request for me, Malta. I've always had a strange fondness for Z-35, despite her seemingly not getting much love from the community. As for the ship itself, I wish it either had a bit more punch to the 6km torps, or else extend their range slightly to 8km for better balance. Z-46 is easily the better all-around DD at T9 (especially for comp), but my fondness for weird ships keeps me coming back to Z-35 too.

[@MalteseKnight]

Thanks for the idea!

[@Apollyon-er4ut]

Yeah, I just picked up the Z46 and find it a marked improvement over the T8 tech tree. I'd like to see you're game play. Though I enjoy playing CAs more, after watching tubers like yourself (& Flamu, Potatoe, Carbine, etc.), my win rate with DDs if vastly better than all other ships. Thanks for the vids.

[@MalteseKnight]

Thanks for the nice comment!

[@_the_wolff_2652]

We still waiting for ROma! Best fun! As always :D

[@MalteseKnight]

In the future!

[@kelvinchung6506]

When playing German destroyer such as Z23, I use AP shell to quickly kill other destroyer at medium-close range. HE shells are for cruisers and battleships.

[@Kramerthetroll]

Almost 10k subs bro! I hope it's gonna happen soon! Big fan

A very late comment but possible to revisit this ship? it got a pretty substantial buff a few patches ago (5.5km hydro, vastly improved turret traverse) Really enjoy the series, hope you make more!

[@IntelCorei-KProcessor-go2to]

whoa finally Z-35! Big Fan!

[@MalteseKnight]

Indeed! Big Fan!

[@Omegawerewolfx]

Harekaze :P Awesome video! Z-35 is super fun and I use it with radio location because I am hunting DDs. I have a few 21 point captains and another has the gun bote build, I use that as well. I just really like having a direction to go or an area to watch. Especially with the lack of speed boost. So it's not like we can run people down or make hard pushes with the boost on. Z-46 is fantastic! For me the Germans go T-61, Z-46, Z-35 in ranking.

[@forestflame172]

Hi Malta! Would be interesting if you made a video on the Neustrashimy!

[@MalteseKnight]

Maybe in the future

Maybe, I have a highlight of it in my channel

[@Brettcroese]

Can you maybe do a vid on popular T8 CB picks for the upcoming season?

[@MalteseKnight]

We could

[@vastrove7746]

Bayard would be a cool lookback, reload booister and speed boost

[@MalteseKnight]

Indeed!

@@MalteseKnight If You will do Bayard can You play it with lighthouse Henri IV build and without one?

[@seanelucero]

Big fan Malta .. aggressive play against roma definitely misplay tho

[@MalteseKnight]

Haha, yeah happens to all of us sometimes :P

[@pizzerinoitaliano3049]

Let's keep up with German destroyers- Z-39, tier VII premium

[@MalteseKnight]

Maybe

[@lafeelabriel]

Honestly out of the three premium German DD's you can get, this, the Schönberg, and the Z-44, this one, while not without it's flaws, is the best of the bunch. Of course if you could instead get your hands on the T-62 or ZF-6 they both beat all three of the above..

[@Palmakify]

A guide on how to play Italian DDs would be nice

[@MalteseKnight]

I have Atiglio Regilo, Adriatico and Paolo Emilio videos on my channel!

[@Frag56v6]

wish i get this ship before WG remove it from the store, sadge, it's good balanced ship, great video malta bigfan!

[@MalteseKnight]

Big Fan!

[@user-ig9dr8bm1l]

Z-35 should not be removed. Still accessible in Armory (I have checked Europe and Russia). Z-39 (premium and powerful copy of Z-31) was removed, sure. But Z-35 is still there.

[@Frag56v6]

@@user-ig9dr8bm1l ah good to know, so i was confused this one with the Z-31, well time to get it soon then, thanks for the info mate

[@user-ig9dr8bm1l]

@@Frag56v6 Z-31 unlike Z-39 brethren is not good at all.

[@Joshua-fi4ji]

@@user-ig9dr8bm1l Z-39 came out a long time before Z-31. More accurate to say it's a premium version of Z-23, dropped a tier with one less gun.

[@takitsan79]

Can you make a review for Weimar?

[@Topchaz]

Ochakov! v rare ship and pretty tricky to play well

[@rbowdenscipio3408]

Pretty good vid, but most of us don't have an elite captain and aren't experts. It'd be nice to know WHY you picked certain loadouts and skills for those who are newer to the game.

[@LpDanilo05]

For the germans its like a dice roll, either your Z-something is good or its hot trash

'to be honest with u' :) incredibly shit enemy fire on u.. if i tried this openwater gunboating i would die instantly,

Instantly

[@cheekybreeky6925]

Horrible ship. Supposed to be a gunboat but has trash ballistics and handling sigh....z-46 makes this thing look like a t6.

[@MalteseKnight]

Indeed, as I mentioned Z-46 is really strong compared to Z-35, keep in mind it is a tier 9 also.
