Building a German destroyer around cruiser-calibre guns

Can you build a German destroyer with the largest guns possible?

Yes in the simulation. The largest destroyer hull accepts fifteen 5.9-inch guns and quintuple torpedo launchers, though the trial also exposes tactical AI limits.

The viewer request leads to a fictional design test. The largest destroyer hull available receives fifteen 5.9-inch guns and quintuple torpedo launchers, giving it extreme nominal firepower within the simulation's rules. In the trial, the British side's automatic six-inch fire does most of the damage, while its tactical AI turns toward an enemy torpedo. The fight exposes limits in the game's tactical behaviour and provides no evidence that this destroyer would have worked as a historical design.
