Player Opinion
Performance
König Albert is very similar to her Tier IV sister Kaiser 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. Her armor can reliably bounce 12-inch shells when angled and with over 40,000 hit points, she has a large advantage over her Tier III peers. Her secondary armament is quite strong, and can be buffed — via commander skills and upgrades — to a level that it is a serious deterrent to enemy destroyers trying to close in.
It's good that her secondaries will discourage enemy destroyers, for like most low tier battleships ' is glacially slow and is not quick to respond to her rudder. This makes her particularly vulnerable to destroyers; especially to unexpected torpedoes fired from stealth. Combined with her slow turret traverse, she is not good at flexing around the map, making planning ahead important, else captains can easily wind up well out of an engagement and unable to affect the outcome of a battle.
Pros:
- Dependable belt armor 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.
- Like Imperator Nikolai I, she is a tier bully and is considered the best Tier III battleships due to it.
Cons:
- Mediocre reload speed.
- Slow turret traverse.
- Short range for main armament.
- Mediocre maneuverability.
- Poor AA protection, but is manageable due to rarely encountering aircraft carriers.
- Poor torpedo protection.
