Admiral Hipper — German Tier VIII cruiser.

In 1934, a technical design specification was developed for a draft design of a heavy cruiser. Drawing from the lessons learned from the Deutschland class ships, engineers discarded the idea of using diesel power plants and instead opted for turbines and boilers with high steam parameters. The lead cruiser, Admiral Hipper, participated in the invasions of Denmark and Norway during World War II and conducted several raids in the Atlantic. On December 31, 1942, Hipper participated in the Battle of the Barents Sea against the JW-51B convoy, where she took damage in the engagement.

Player Opinion

Performance

Given nicknames such as “Admiral Hipster” or "Pringles" due to her sister ship being named Prinz Eugen, the Admiral Hipper is a capable heavy cruiser. In historical terms, the Admiral Hipper class of cruisers were the most advanced designs ever commissioned by the German Navy. Like other German cruisers, the Admiral Hipper can take advantage of the superior range and favourable dispersion of her 8 inch guns. These guns can do excellent AP damage to cruisers but can also deal a surprising amount of damage to battleships. Furthermore, the excellent range of her hydroacoustic search radar allows the Admiral Hipper to seek out and eliminate destroyers hiding in their smoke screens. While the Admiral Hipper has many strengths, she is not without faults. An underwhelming anti-aircraft suite leaves her vulnerable to air attacks. Furthermore, the HE shells can sometimes inflict disappointing damage and the armour scheme of the ship is far from invulnerable.

The Admiral Hipper is most suited to the role of either a second line long range support ship or part of a raiding cruiser group.

Pros:

  • Very impressive AP damage
  • Fast reload time at 12 seconds
  • Excellent range and favorable dispersion
  • Retains the same improved hydroacoustic search ability
  • Good ergonomics
  • Decent turret traverse

Cons:

  • Only 8 main guns
  • Short torpedo range of 6km
  • Fairly easy to citadel
  • Questionable AA suite
  • Engine and rudder vulnerable to being incapacitated
  • High detection range at her tier among her colleagues
