Player Opinion
Performance
König Albert is very similar to her Tier IV sister in that she has strong armor and strong guns. However, her guns reload slower and she has shorter range; being a tier lower, though, her guns are more than adequate. She has extremely tough armor and can take a beating from anything at her tier and even a tier above. The armor can reliably bounce 12" shells when angled and with over 40 thousand hit points, she has a large advantage over her Tier III peers. However, she is glacial, and has slow acceleration and rudder shift, making her weak to destroyers (and especially unexpected torpedoes fired from stealth). Combined with her slow turret traverse, she is not good at flexing around the map, making planning ahead important, or one can easily wind up away from the fight and unable to affect the outcome.
LittleWhiteMouse's Premium Ship Review: König Albert from the NA forums
Pros:
- Dependable belt armour scheme
- Largest hit-pool of all Tier III Battleships
- Largest main armament broadside of all Tier III Battleships
- AP shells have the highest alpha damage of all Tier III Battleships
- Good top speed
- Dependable secondary gun armament
- Overall a solid “beginner-friendly” Battleship
Cons:
- Mediocre bow and stern armour protection
- Mediocre reload speed
- Slow turret traverse
- Short range for main armament
- En-echelon turret configuration limits the opportunities to bring all turrets to broadside
- Restricted secondary gun fire-arcs
- Mediocre manoeuvrability
- Poor AA protection
- Poor torpedo protection

Consumables
As a Tier III Battleship, König Albert has access to the basic consumables of Battleships: Damage Control Party and Repair Party. As a premium ship, it is recommended to take Premium Version of both consumables.
Camouflage
As a premium ship, König Albert comes included with Type 9 camouflage that lowers her detection radius, reduces the accuracy of incoming shells, and increases the amount of experience she earns.
