Player Opinion


Pros:

  • Good main battery reload time.
  • Solid AA suite.
  • Armor layout will bounce a lot of shells when well-angled, with the thick belt armor shattering most AP shells at medium range
  • HE shells have an extremely high fire chance and penetration and can be used effectively against enemy battleships who angle themselves well.
  • Decent top speed.



Cons:

  • Poor firing angles of the rear turret.
  • Armor-piercing shells lose much of their penetration power at long range; they are really only usable at medium range or less when fired at enemy battleships.
  • 25 mm hull plating is susceptible to overmatch by guns with caliber larger than 356 mm.
  • Like French battleships, the quadruple-barrel turrets mean she is susceptible to having large parts of her firepower knocked out when her turrets are disabled or destroyed.
  • Mediocre dispersion.
