[Fleet] [Development] Kanonenboot K-2: The Dutch Conscript

Posted: 29 Jun 2018 04:25 PM PDT



The Kanonenboot K-2 is a gunboat initially laid down by the Dutch in the late 1930's for their navy, but was later captured, finished and used by the German Kriegsmarine during WW2 and it was the Germans who named it "Type K". The K-2 will be one of the higher ranking German vessels awaiting War Thunder captains in the closed beta testing of naval forces.

Briefly: A 1930s Dutch gunboat design used by the German Kriegsmarine during WW2. The ship offers good firepower and survivability at the expense of mobility.

The K-class gunboats were ordered as a replacement to the outdated Dutch Brinio-class gunboats that preceded them. Originally, seven ships of the class were planned to be constructed, three of which were ordered and laid down right away. However, the German occupation of the Netherlands in 1940 abruptly ended the construction of the already laid down ships, with pending orders for the remaining ships getting cancelled. Following the occupation, all three uncompleted warships were captured after falling into German hands.
