Player Opinion
Performance
Prinz Eitel Friedrich, unlike other German battleships, is primarily a medium-range fighter with limited brawling capabilities, as a result of: good secondary armament, semi-decent main guns, and non-existent turtle-backed but durable armor.
Where Prinz Eitel Friedrich really shines is with her anti-aircraft armament. Her long-range aura consists of eight dual 105 mm dual purpose mounts, allowing her to reach a maximum range of 7.6 km and to benefit from Manual Fire Control for AA Armament.
Prinz Eitel Friedrich is also quite fast for ships of her tier, allowing her to close to within her ideal engagement range quite quickly. Her good armor and AA will keep her safe while doing so, and captains should have no problems handling her in a brawl, however brawling should be kept to a minimum (due to her non-existent turtle-backed armor).
Captains used to the play style of German battleships should be right at home when sailing Prinz Eitel Friedrich.
Pros:
- Rapid reload on her main battery guns.
- Excellent anti-aircraft suite which benefits greatly from Manual Fire Control for AA Armament.
- Formidable secondary battery with a long range of 7.6km when fully specialized.
- Fast for her tier, with a top speed of 28 knots.
- Feigned fragility - her armour is quite durable for a battlecruiser.
- Despite having a bad dispersion, her main guns are more accurate than guns on most German battleships.
Cons:
- Dispersion of the main battery guns may be inconsistent.
- Does not get maximum effect from Manual Fire Control for Secondary Armament due to being Tier VI.
- Poor turning circle.
- Despite having durable armor, unlike the rest of her German battleship piers, she doesn't get the signature turtleback armor, making brawling hazardous.
- Main guns, do an inconsistent amount damage to targets.
