I really want to say congrantulatios to spartan for working hard every day just for us... All of this,just for us to enjoy. You have my respect spartan.
I main German DDs and I absolutely love Gaede. Its without a doubt my favorite tech tree ship in the game and one of my favorites period (with T61 probably beating it a little). Its definitely a tanky gunboat. It can scrap for prolonged periods and that's a nightmare for other DDs which makes it one of the best DD hunters in the game. I'd recommend using Bey as commander and maximizing the HP and the guns. I even use Sims as an inspiration to give it a ridiculous health pool. Also Bey's skill that shows the nearest enemy ship just makes it a torpedo boat's worst nightmare. Now unfortunately Gaede is the gold star of the German line. Maass is good but not quite as dominant as it doesnt get the 150s and Z23 can be frustrating against dominant DDs like Lightning. I have yet to play a ship that just checked every box for me the minute I started with it like Gaede since my early days when I ground out the Fuso
I never considered boosting HP as a focus for my German destroyers... would definitely make it an uneven fight against other DDs... I think I'm gonna try this build out... thanks for posting this The Labor Peasant!
Yeah, the Gaede and the T-61 are fantastic. Great survivability, good guns, good torpedoes, great consumables. They're very well rounded. One of my favorite strategies against enemy destroyers is to wait until they deploy smoke, activate sonar, and then get close enough for them to be detected by it (~3.9km). Not only will I see any torpedoes they launch, but they will remain detected inside their smoke while I can freely shoot them wihout giving my position away (assuming there are no there enemy ships in range. You can basically turn their own smokescreens against them.
All of your work is appreciated Spartan! I've been binge watching all of your videos to try to get better. Please keep them coming. BTW the Flex Seal guy better be bringing a whole truckload for all the holes you're punching in enemy ships!
Gaede huh? Well if you like this the Z-23 is amazing..maxed out anyway. I’d suggest running this torp build till you get the Z-23, then switch off to Erich to get the most out of those 150s. Also, if you run Sims as an inspiration, you xan get the Gaede to 17k hp and the Z-23 to 21k hp.
It's strange how this works. HP Buff Commander for Gaede Sims: 17,700 HP Hyde: 17,140 HP Both: 18,340 HP HP Buff for Yamato: Sims: 99,120 HP Hyde: 100,990 HP Both: 102,910 HP (Although would mean giving up Cummingham)
@@dgeneratio1 I don't have Hyde, so I wouldn't know, but I know Sims provides a straight buff of a fixed amount of HP depending on ship tier. Does Hyde have a % based buff?
The Gaede and T-61 are both pretty good destroyers. Do pretty good in both of them, and unlike most of the other destroyers in the game, they're good looking ships.
Gonna be interesting to see your journey up this line... anxious to see how you fare compared to the RN line and if you like the Z23 as much as the Lightning...
Jerksky's AP pen buff is a better inspiration than Trywitt for the German DD's. Second choice would be Madden. Can't hide from Germans in smoke, they all have 5km bingbong. german DD party piece is torps reload faster than smoke disappears, so you can torp twice from one smoke.
They're fantastic and my favorite DDs. They're the perfect mix of gunboat, tank, and torpedo boat. The Americans are OK with great guns but weak armor and stealth and once the DDs are dead they dont have a lot to do to impact the rest of the match. The Japanese are fun if you like running away and torp sniping all match. The British are actually pretty great but they're a little more on the torpedo boat side of the spectrum. The Germans are exactly where I want a DD. Great guns but not too much as to sacrifice torps. Decent concealment but the armor/HP will ensure you stay in the game long as you do your part. Then as if it wasnt good enough that German hydro is just a game changer, once you have it you feel like you're missing out on every other line. Just the best mix of all features on a DD in my opinion
@@thelaborpeasant I'm probably going to go down this line for your reasons. I wanna be able to torp BBs in open water while hidden, but I also want half a chance to cap the base n come out alive.
@@vynnxa6416 they're still one of the best lines in the game, however they are getting to be somewhat old news now. They're powerful but easily the slowest DDs in the game. Many of the recent cruisers are even faster due to power creep and even some Battleships can keep up (I love chasing DDs in my Hood for example). I still absolutely recommend them, just keep power creep in mind cause wargaming has to find a way to keep people buying more their shit Lol
00:29 secs omg no just call it the gade, my supervisor is named eddie and i cant deal with him. He is a former deputy jailer and he treats us like inmates and we are security officers for petes sake. Anyway 12:01 "get the flex seal guy" was on point cuz that stuff would probably work in a french ship i lol so hard at that.
I was under the impression that German destroyers were gun boats more than torp boats... wouldn't you want your smoke to last longer and cool down quicker? At least that's the way I play my German destroyers... make them as sneaky as possible and dink and dunk to get my shots in pop smoke and focus down whatever makes sense.
I am not Much of a destroyer guy myself, however with this I have so much fun. It is my favorite destroyer. You have to upgrade hull I assume to get sonar. Thanks for the video.
you gonna to enjoy the z23 it’s the most flexible dd you can get her with 70 knots torpedo speed and 58 reload time with 4.7 concealment or you can go all in with 5 * 150 mm guns with bey and twist and track with 20k hp .
Spartan I have a request, could you either go over the stats at the end of the video or put a time stamp on the video I get some want the stats some dont but this would please both sides of the fence
Just finished the maass now saving up for the z23 I pulled up at some traffic lights next to a full health hipper in my maass & started blasting! Citadel'd him before he knew what hit him then floored the gas Hunting cruisers in these German destroyers is so much fun The maass gets some more meat on her, I like my lady's curvy 😋
Spartan Elite43 man I can actually hit people with torpedos now lol. I think it’s more mathematical than skill lmao. The massive amounts of torpedos I put into to water has to hit a ship.
If you get the chance, you should try out Bey on your German DDs. He has twist and track which speeds up your turret rotation, and even better it gives you an indicator of where the closest ship is even if they aren't spotted. It's really handy when you are trying to look/watch out for the enemy destroyers, or if you want to know where the ship is that's on the other side of the island you're next to. Not sure if you knew about this already, so I figured I'd let you know if you didn't.

my respect too
Glad you enjoy!
@@SpartanElite43 thanks for the great videos
Was not expecting two games in one "Meet The" :D
That's me always going the extra mile
One thing i like about Germans is it has a Sonar and Smoke so you can see any Torps heading into it.

I just recently got this ship.. I dont have sonar. Did they nerf it and take it away?
@@HarmfulDesign I probably wont get an answer since this is such a old post but yeah. I want sonar. Where am I missing it?

Thankyou Spartan nice video .
Thanks that u ask what we want in the other video 😍

I have the T-61 and this video makes the 'Gēda' a must have! Your videos continue to help me up my
game. 👍
Your 'Eddie,' my 'Gēda,' 🤣
Hi Spartan, I enjoy your videos better than others mostly because you're entertaining and you generally don'y swear like the others do.
Glad you enjoy! You definitely want to avoid any live streams I do then because when I'm live I cant help myself most of the time.
Watching in 2160 with 60 fps is amazing
Awesome to hear! Glad someone is able to take advantage of me recording everything in 4k
Jerksky's AP pen buff is a better inspiration than Trywitt for the German DD's. Second choice would be Madden.
Can't hide from Germans in smoke, they all have 5km bingbong.
german DD party piece is torps reload faster than smoke disappears, so you can torp twice from one smoke.
Very good info
Flex seal ain't going to fix that paddlin.
Someone would try
I've been looking forward to your take on this line. It has a lot in common with the British DDs, but with WAY better guns.
I like it so far

@@thelaborpeasant Thanks. I also more want the experience, learn how DDs play to help my cruisers and BB do better.
Bay is pretty good, he with Bly from Poland can get you closer to your target to get more stealth torp kills.
The camo on this ship looks beautiful.

I unlocked the Gaede tonight! It’s really fun! Might become my favorite destroyer and it’s not even upgraded yet!
Nice
Yep u will love mass and z23 the German dd line is my favorite specially t61 love that lil brat
Meet the Hipper! Tier 7 German Cruiser ?
You Spartan take the smoke mate.
Lol! Quick! Flex seal the Normandy!

Awesome man! I hope to see you in the pond sometime 😁😁
hello spartan i love your videos keep it up
Hello and thank you! Glad you enjoy
Now I'm really excited to get the Gaede
I'm up to the T-22 and I love it
I have now been calling the Gaede Eddie😂 my friends don’t know what I’m talking about
How do you get hydro? Does it have to be fully upgraded then it unlocks? Because I’m about halfway through the upgrades and I still don’t have hydro
2 for the price of one..how lucky are we.Thank you.
Lol glad you enjoy it!
you gonna to enjoy the z23 it’s the most flexible dd you can get her with 70 knots torpedo speed and 58 reload time with 4.7 concealment or you can go all in with 5 * 150 mm guns with bey and twist and track with 20k hp .
Its spelled gäde
Its a special german letter that is an other Version of the a
The ae spelling is the amarican version
drascho games And it’s pronounced “Gehde”
The Gaede is a gun boat!
Use Bey with the 150s!
It's pronounced G-ee-da love the vids 👍
Two great battles
Yes because the guns are slow I have the GAED since the German line came out.
Thx for sharing!
When they stop using front firing torps the german dd loses its appeal.
Spartan I have a request, could you either go over the stats at the end of the video or put a time stamp on the video
I get some want the stats some dont but this would please both sides of the fence
Fair enough I'll try to do a timestamp in the description from now on for meet the videos
Thanks! That was my only knit pick video overall was really good, cant wait ti see what you think of the z23
I pronounce it guy day guyday gaede
Get the extra smoke time
Just finished the maass now saving up for the z23
I pulled up at some traffic lights next to a full health hipper in my maass & started blasting! Citadel'd him before he knew what hit him then floored the gas
Hunting cruisers in these German destroyers is so much fun
The maass gets some more meat on her, I like my lady's curvy 😋
She's Thicc? I cant wait
@@SpartanElite43 o yes curvy girl indeed
Are we talking about ships or lady's lmao I forgot
I got the ship and I don’t have sonar on it?
I use him on my G 101. My torpedo reload time is like 30 seconds lol.
Ouch
Spartan Elite43 man I can actually hit people with torpedos now lol. I think it’s more mathematical than skill lmao. The massive amounts of torpedos I put into to water has to hit a ship.
@@mattalford3932 throw enough crap against the wall some is bound to stick
Spartan Elite43 yeah I got 14 torpedo hits in 1 match yesterday. Absolutely stupid lmao. I’m lucky to get 4 hits in any other ship in a match.

Also, great games. Keep up the great content. :D
Definitely recommned bey, he turns the ship into a search and destory vessel.

How did you got to the lvl 5 so fast 😮😮😮 am still in the 1 hahaha and I suck at destroyers a lot but I will give it a shot see if can get better

Is it Ed, Edd or Eddy? :P
Loool Y’all look like Ed or eddys so I understand the obsession of that name 😜😜
Glad you got it lol, Theirs some shows on TH-cam which are like 5 mins long.
I hate using destroyers, I only have 3 of them
