König — German Tier V battleship.
The warship was developed from the Kaiser-class battleships. She inherited her predecessors' very powerful armor. The main turrets were arranged in a more rational manner that allowed the ship to fire a broadside with all main battery guns.

Player Opinion
Performance
König is a decent Tier V battleship with the sloping "turtleback" armor protecting the citadel of the ship. Bow on, König can take a significant amount of armor piercing fire, but doing this means that only four of the ten guns can fire at the enemy. However, even with the good armor, König will succumb to sustained concentrated fire. The guns are decent, but do, in some aspects, leave a bit to be desired, especially against battleships, as the guns have a low caliber. The guns are still perfectly serviceable against cruisers, however. The lower caliber prevent over-penetrations in some cases, which makes König an effective cruiser killer. The high shell speed of the guns and the good accuracy for a German battleship mean that König is also good at longer ranges, a contrast to Kaiser before her.
The secondary armament is comprehensive and will discourage most destroyers from getting close to König as well as coming in handy in close quarters fights with another battleship. The anti-aircraft suite is serviceable as well. With the C hull, torpedo or dive bomber squadrons may lose some planes, but the AA suite is not able to fend off an entire carrier attack.
The concealment is, for a battleship, rather good with a 14.6km detection range, the stealthiest of any of the Tier V battleships. This does give her a bit of flexibility when re-positioning. The maneuverability of König is rather poor as the acceleration and rudder shift are very slow. The top speed is decent at 24 knots.Pros:
- The guns, while smaller than her peers, have excellent ballistics, shell velocity and arc, extremely deadly towards cruisers showing broadside.
- Speedy reload time at 25 seconds.
- Good shell dispersion for a German Battleship.
- Good AA for her tier, though she cannot fend off air raids on her own.
- Comprehensive secondary armament.
- Good concealment.
- Decent firing angle despite middle turret placement.
- Heavily armored.
Cons:
- Sluggish maneuverability, difficult to dodge torpedoes from planes and destroyers.
- While the top speed is decent, acceleration from a stand still is slow and frustrating even for a battleship.
- Turrets have poor traverse speed, 60 seconds for a full 180 degree turn, but can be upgraded with captain skills.
- Guns do inconsistent damage towards other battleships due to their smaller caliber.
Optimal Configuration
Upgrades
As a Tier V ship, König has access to Slots 1, 2 and 3 for upgrades.
- Slot 1: Main Armaments Modification 1 to improve the survival of her main guns.
- Slot 2: Damage Control System Modification 1 to improve her overall survival in battle.
- Slot 3: Aiming Systems Modification 1 to improve main battery accuracy.
Captains wishing to emphasize use of her secondaries may use Secondary Battery Modification 1 in Slot 3 to boost her secondaries' range.
