Mainz CE — German Premium Tier VII Cruiser.

The project of a cruiser with 150 mm guns (cruiser K), which was developed in the mid-1930s on the basis of the Admiral Hipper-class ships, shortly after the construction of the latter began. She combined the rapid-fire battery of light cruisers with the survivability of heavy ones.

Mainz was released as the final reward of the Origin of Wisdom campaign, which took place from November 8th to December 20th, 2021. The ship later got renamed Mainz CE as a new, alternative version (Mainz) with tweaked stats got released. This "old" version of the ship is no longer obtainable in any way (as the "CE" letters mean Collector's Edition).


Year of Design: 1936

Ship Traits			Premium Trait

Player Opinion

Pros:

• Good main battery firing range
• Great DPM for both AP and HE shells
• High HE penetration and decent fire chance
• Comfortable long range gunnery thanks to high shell velocity and flat arcs
• Heavy torpedo armament of four quadruple launchers (two per side), great for close range combat
• Turtleback armor scheme improves citadel protection at close range
• Powerful AA suite

Cons:

• Despite sharing the same hull, Mainz has thinner armor than Hipper
• Poor main battery firing angles
• Torpedoes are short-ranged
• Lightly armored turrets can be disabled/destroyed easily
• Low top speed
• Poor concealment
