Warspite B — British Premium Tier V Battleship.

When commissioned, she was one of the mightiest battleships in the world that outmatched all previous dreadnought classes in firepower and speed. By the outbreak of World War II, Warspite had been modernized to receive more powerful torpedo protection, reinforced horizontal protection, and enhanced AA capabilities.

Player Opinion


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.
