Kaiser — Německa Tier IV Bitevní loď.
In terms of armor thickness the ship was superior to all battleships of her time. Driven by turbine propulsion, this battleship had a decent speed for her type. The main battery's armor-piercing capabilities were highly competitive with the artillery of super dreadnoughts from that era.

The biggest problems with the Kaiser dictate how it should be played. Yes, the Kaiser has fairly rapid firing guns as battleships goes, a powerful secondary armament, a tight turning circle, and good armor. Despite these attributes though, she's not particularly effective as a brawling battleship as she suffers from inaccurate guns, very slow turret traverse and slow rudder shift time. It's better to use her as a mid-range (8-10km) fighter supported by cruisers and other battleships, which would give one sufficient range to avoid torpedoes launched by cruisers, but also be close enough to make up for the inaccuracy of her guns.
Torpedoes and aircraft are going to be a problem in this ship, as are changing targets. The small turning circle of the Kaiser can be useful in making sharp course changes, say if a player needs to quickly get out of an area, but her slow turret traverse means it is an utter pain to try to aim your guns while performing sharp turns. This isn't helped by the slow rudder shift time. Situational awareness of possible destroyer locations and approaching aircraft is critical in this warship as failing to do so otherwise will get a player killed.Plusy:
- Tough armor: Kaiser's thick armor belt with a sloping "turtleback" deck behind it makes her difficult to citadel
- Fast loading guns: your main battery is second only to Ishizuchi in Battleship reload speed at this tier.
- Decent AA suite: her AA will be a stern warning for any torpedo bombers who take her lightly
- Powerful secondary armament: Destroyers that linger around her will be lucky to leave unscathed
- Very maneuverable: her small turning circle makes those ever dangerous torpedoes somewhat easier to evade
- Staggered Gun layout allows the Kaiser to fire all ten guns on broadside
Mínusy:
- The en-echelon” layout can only be fully utilised in a very limited firing angle
- Poor torpedo protection: any torpedo hit she takes will be painfully felt despite having torpedo bulges
- Terrible dispersion: she will miss a lot of her shells at farther ranges
- Her maneuverability is hampered by her slow rudder shift time
- Slow turret rotation
Výzkum
Kaiser's B hull upgrade should be your first priority in research. The B hull provides a welcome increase to your health pool as well as reducing your rudders shift time, making her more responsive to your rudder input and more maneuverable. Another benefit is the large improvement to your AA batteries, making her at least able of shooting down some attacking planes. The Fire Control System upgrade should follow. Finally, you can research the Propulsion upgrade for a marginal improvement to your speed.
