Special

Brandenburg B — German special premium Tier VIII battleship.

In 1932, Germany began research for a 35,000-ton battleship project. It was based on the design of World War I battlecruiser Ersatz Yorck. At this time, Britain was inclined to reduce the limit of her battleships' main caliber to 305 mm, viewing this caliber as the main one. Moreover, this caliber implied utilizing a balanced armor scheme for that displacement. However, the project to build a battleship carrying 305 mm guns was eventually abandoned after France laid down her Dunkerque battlecruiser armed with 330 mm guns.

Brandenburg B was first released for sale on 03 November 2023.

Brandenburg B, or Brandenburg Black, is a clone of Brandenburg with an attractive black skin.

In 1939, German engineers developed a prototype of a 305 mm gun that the Kriegsmarine planned to install on battlecruisers that were being designed at that time. Their mission would be raiding enemy trade routes. In World of Warships, these unique guns are affixed to Tier VIII Brandenburg B's main battery turrets, sporting twelve 305 mm rifles in a 4x3 configuration.

Brandenburg B represents a new class of ship that could have been interpreted to be a development of the successful ocean raider design of Scharnhorst class ships. In World of Warships, Brandenburg B is extremely similar to Tirpitz and Bismarck, also at Tier VIII.

Those experienced with the playstyles, strengths, and weaknesses of Tirpitz and Bismarck will find that Brandenburg B is quite similar, sharing many attributes with these ships. However, there are some key differences that distinguish Brandenburg B from her Tier VIII counterparts. For example, her maximum speed is somewhat slower than Tirpitz, as well as Bismarck, when upgraded. Moving to combat capability, the main battery gun range and maximum potential damage of main battery shells are lower than that of Tirpitz and Bismarck. Her HP pool is nearly 15 percent lower than that of Tirpitz and Bismarck, putting her at a significant disadvantage in terms of survivability. This is important due to her placement at Tier VIII, making it possible for Brandenburg B to face Tier IX and X ships.

Brandenburg B does have some shared traits, such as her secondary battery firing range. However, Brandenburg B further differs from Tirpitz and Bismarck in that she has a slightly better turning radius, carries two additional 105 mm secondary battery mounts, has better main battery dispersion, and sports marginally better torpedo protection damage reduction. Her anti-aircraft armament is more powerful when compared to these ships, making Brandenburg B a better choice when there is a high likelihood of being matched against aircraft carriers in a battle.

Brandenburg B can be played in many ways, but her HP pool is the limiting factor in aggressive gameplay. Her secondary battery armament will surely prove useful in close engagements. Torpedoes allow Brandenburg B to finish the job, and additional main battery rifles increase the odds of scoring a hit when firing a full salvo at enemy ships.

Players interested in acquiring Brandenburg B would be best served by first acquiring Bismarck or Tirpitz, as both of those ships are more forgiving than Brandenburg B, due to her lower HP pool at Tier VIII. She is certainly a strong ship, but players must be cautious to preserve her hit points to keep her in battle as long as possible.

Pros:

  • Better torpedo protection than that of Tirpitz and Bismarck.
  • Much quicker rudder than Bismarck.
  • Four more main battery rifles than Tirpitz and Bismarck.
  • Good secondary battery, with two more 105 mm mounts than Tirpitz and Bismarck.
  • Good anti-aircraft armament, better than that of Tirpitz and Bismarck.
  • Same torpedoes as Tirpitz

Cons:

  • Nearly 15% lower hit point pool than that of Tirpitz and Bismarck.
  • Shorter main battery range than Tirpitz and Bismarck.
  • Lower main battery potential shell damage.
