? | SMS '' | + | SMS ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' was the lead ship of the ''{{#var:ship_name}}''-class of battleships in the German Kaiserliche Marine (Imperial Navy). The vessel was launched in February 1915 and entered service in July 1916, too late to take part in the Battle of Jutland. Her main armament consisted of eight 38 cm (15-inch) guns in four turrets, which was a significant improvement over the preceding ''[[König]]''’s ten 30.5 cm (12-inch) guns. The ship was to have formed the nucleus for a fourth battle squadron in the High Seas Fleet, along with three of her sister ships. Of the other ships only one — SMS ''Baden'' — was completed; the other two were canceled later in the war when production requirements shifted to U-boat construction. | |
====Service==== | ====Service==== | |||
? | '' | + | ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' was commissioned midway through the war, and had a limited service career. The first operation in which the ship took part was an abortive fleet advance into the North Sea on 18–19 August 1916, a month after she had been commissioned. The ship also participated in Operation Albion in the Gulf of Riga, but shortly after the German attack began on 12 October 1917, ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' was mined and had to be withdrawn for repairs. She was interned with the majority of the High Seas Fleet in Scapa Flow in November 1918 following the end of World War I. On 21 June 1919, Admiral Ludwig von Reuter ordered the fleet to be scuttled; ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' sank at 14:30. In September 1934, the ship was raised, towed to Rosyth, and scrapped. | |

Player Opinion
Performance
The last Imperial German battleship, Bayern stands as the ultimate refinement of the dreadnought-type before the shift to the fast battleship. She represents the best of what the Kaiserliche Marine had ever wanted for their linienschiff dreadnoughts: tough-as-nails, good offensive power, and fast (for a dreadnought); she is very potent when compared to other battleships of her tier. Like the ships before her, Bayern is can do very well while brawling with other battleships, and can cause massive damage when positioned properly in a brawl.
Protecting Bayern is an armor belt significantly stronger than her American colleague New Mexico and much stronger than Fuso, though like all dreadnoughts the deck armor is somewhat questionable. Her offensive armament rivals that of Tier VI premium battleship Warspite in terms of gun caliber and ballistics. At a glance, Bayern may not look like much compared to her peers, but she is a solidly-rounded ship with many strengths and few weaknesses.Pros:
- Armor layout makes her highly resistant to damage.
- Impressive range, even without the upgraded Gun Fire Control System or Spotting Aircraft launched.
- Comparable gun caliber to HMS Queen Elizabeth and Warspite.
- Good shell velocity.
- High volume of secondaries with decent range.
- Above average speed and turning characteristics.
- Surprisingly stealthy for a dreadnought, allowing her to close the distance to where her guns will do more damage.
- Final hull with captain perks and modules can put up stiff resistance to even Tier VII aircraft.
Cons:
- Accuracy of her main battery guns is inferior to most other battleships and the low number of barrels results in low damage output, especially at range.
- The stock World War I-era hull does not have any anti-aircraft defenses, allowing aircraft to attack with impunity.
- Slow turret traverse.
- Slightly longer reload time than most German battleships.
- AP penetration value drops very significantly over distance due to her light shells.
- HE shells do little damage and have low fire chance, which makes them ineffective.
Optimal Configuration
Upgrades
Bayern has access to four Upgrade Slots as a Tier VI ship.
- Slot 1: Main Armaments Modification 1 to improve her main battery survival.
- Slot 2: Damage Control System Modification 1 to improve her overall survival in battle.
- Slot 3: Aiming Systems Modification 1 to improve her main battery accuracy.
- Slot 4: Damage Control System Modification 2 to further improve her overall survival. Steering Gears Modification 2 is also an option to improve her maneuverability.
