Giant Z-Class

The Giant Z-Class is a DLC submarine in Steel Diver: Sub Wars. It was released in the Shop on June 2, 2014, and is based off the final boss of the original Steel Diver.

Appearance
The Giant Z-Class looks mostly like a normal submarine, but it does have one unique, noticeable feature- its jaw-like bow. It is unknown if this bow actually has a mechanical function or if it is just used as a scare tactic.

Gameplay
The Giant Z-Class has a slow reload and turn rate but it makes up for its health, torpedoes, and crew capacity. The Giant Z-Class is for players who want to fulfill the "tank" role and is very good with the Mechanic, who can repair you ship while on the surface which, while undisturbed and mastered right, can make it a real challenge.

Alternatively, the Giant Z-Class can be used for a "tanky cleric" role by having the crew member Repair Allies equipped, leaving you 3 (5 with remodel) crew slots to work on making the sub's stats better suited for the role.

Trivia

 * The Giant Z-Class is tied with the Super Cod and the Neptune Mk II for having the game's highest base Health stat.
 * On the other end of the spectrum, the Giant Z-Class is tied with the Red Octopus and King Sardine for having the game's lowest base Surfaced Speed.
