Project history: Improved version of type 1923. Differed in a little bigger dimensions and increased steam output of boilers. Wolf and Leopard were equipped with Brown-Boveri turbines, Iltis and Tiger by Vulkan, Jaguar and Luchs by Schichau. It was supposed to arm these torpedo boats with 127mm guns, but under pressure of Great Britain 105mm/55 guns of new model have been fitted.
