Z3

Z3 (Max Schultz) is a character from the game "Kantai Collection" (KanColle). She is the third ship of the German Navy's Type 1934 destroyer class, named after Max Schultz, a German naval officer who died in World War I. In the game, Z3 is known for her calm and somewhat aloof personality, and she speaks in German, using phrases like "Guten Tag" (hello) and "Danke schön" (thank you very much). She starts with 3 equipment slots and is skilled in anti-submarine warfare, with high evasion. Z3 is obtained through a special construction process using Z1 as the flagship, making her a rare destroyer. Her in-game lines and appearance reflect her historical background, such as her mention of "new model turbines being a bit hard to maintain," hinting at the mechanical problems of the Type 1934 destroyers. Historically, Z3 was sunk in February 1940 during Operation Wikinger due to friendly fire and hitting a mine. This history is also referenced in-game, with her being heard saying "Is it a mine?" when hit.
