Player Opinion

Battleship - Warspite B

Pros:

• Quick rudder shift and tight turning circle mean she is especially nimble for her size
• Strong heal and short duration, rapid reloading Damage Control give her excellent survivability
• Powerful guns that can overmatch bow armor of all battleships

Cons:

• Does not get the usual high penetration HE shells of other British Battleships
• Higher than average chance of being set on fire
• Only 8 main battery guns

Performance

Easily one of the strongest Tier V Battleships, Warspite can weather a storm of fire and steel thanks to her cruiser-like damage control and strong healing ability. Her 381 mm (15") guns are accurate and hit hard - bow tanking against her will not save you as her shells will punch straight through the 25mm of bow armor for Tier V and VI battleships.

Despite being a "Grand Old Lady," Warspite can dance surprisingly well with a rapid rudder shift and tight turning circle, although don't expect to be winning any drag races in her as all equal tiered ships except New Mexico and Arizona are faster.
