Player Opinion

Battleship - Zieten

Pros:

• High top speed at 31 knots
• Equipped with torpedoes which have decent range and good damage
• Secondary guns have long range, improved accuracy and high penetration
• Access to the typical German long-ranged Sonarconsumable

Cons:

• Poor armor and torpedo damage reduction
• A large superstructure makes Zieten easy to damage
• Rather mediocre Sigma value
• Main battery turret setup only allows the ship to use a third of its firepower when bow in
