Z15 Erich Steinbrinck
Contents
Description
The Type 1934A-class, Z15 Erich Steinbrinck, project is a rank I German destroyer with a battle rating of 4.0 (AB/RB/SB). It was introduced in Update 1.93 "Shark Attack".

Similar to other destroyers at its rank, the Type 1934A (1944) has very little armour to shield itself from incoming fire except from small-calibre machine guns. However, the ship is quite survivable thanks to its 8-section hull and high crew count. This allows the Type 1934A (1944) to last longer in a trading firefight.

Armament
Primary armament

Ammunition120 rounds
Vertical guidance-10° / 30°
Similar to most German destroyers prior to rank III, the Type 1934A (1944) is equipped with basic 127 mm naval cannons, two at the front of the ship and the other two at the back. These cannons' damage per shot is not bad against targets at its BR range, but not that good either, requiring you to hit the enemy several times (usually 20 - 30 hits for destroyers) to sink them (thus somewhat inadequate at long ranges due to lack of stopping power). Fortunately, the gun has a very good reload time of just 4 seconds with ace crew, coupled with good shell velocity and accuracy. This makes the Type 1934A (1944) capable of continuously lobbing its shells into its target within a mid-to-close range (within 7 kilometers) into submission.
Secondary armament
7 х Turret2 x 3.7 cm FlaK-Lafette LM/42 mounting
Ammunition4000 rounds
Belt capacity5 rounds
Fire rate250 shots/min
Secondary armaments consisted of seven dual 37 mm AA gun mounts (14 in total), two at the bridge and the second smokestack and three at the rear fighting compartment. These guns provided very deadly firepower at close range and good anti-air coverage.
Anti-aircraft armament
Turret2 x 2 cm/65 C/30 automatic cannon

In addition, the Type 1934A (1944) also features two twin 20 mm anti-aircraft mounts, one at the bow and the other at the rear compartment.
Additional armament
Setup 18 x 533 mm G7a torpedo
Setup 24 x WBG depth charge
Setup 38 x 533 mm G7a torpedo
4 x WBG depth charge
As with other German destroyers, the Type 1934A (1944) comes equipped with G7a torpedoes in two quadruple launchers. These torpedoes remain very deadly against any target the ship may face.
Usage in battles
The Type 1934A (1944) is a potent support and brawling ship that excels at mid-to-close range combat. Although its 127 mm guns is somewhat inadequate against long-range targets, it is quite deadly at closer range thanks to its rapid rate of fire and good accuracy. This allows the ship to pick off important modules on the enemy ships (turrets, engines, bridge) and slowly killing them.
To complement its primary armament, the Type 1934A (1944) is also equipped with fourteen 37 mm guns as secondary armaments. These guns are very useful for occasionally setting enemy ships on fire, depleting the crew, and finishing them off. This gun is also useful for anti-air purposes, although it's advised to man the guns yourself when an enemy plane is getting close.
Due to its gun placement, the Type 1934A is able to aim and shoot two main guns with greater accuracy and still pack enough firepower to pick off important modules, moving in this position can make the ship more survivable, since not only the ship's profile is much smaller and harder to hit when bow on, this also prevent most enemies from damaging its unprotected engines and transmission.
Pros and cons
Pros:
- High survivability due to high crew count and section layout
- Good top speed and agility
- Main guns is very accurate and has very good rate of fire
- Powerful secondary armaments
- Good anti-air coverage
- Equipped with deadly G7a torpedoes
Cons:
- Average (but adequate) damage per shot for its BR
- Lacks armour to shield off small-calibre cannons at close range
- Engines and transmissions is exposed to any incoming shots from the sides
History
Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the ship in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the ship and adding a block "/History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Ship-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref></ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />. This section may also include the ship's dev blog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under === In-game description ===, also if applicable).
Media
Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
