Lion — British Tier IX battleship.

The last British battleship designed and laid down before the breakout of World War II. In many respects, the ship was a development of the King George V-class ships, but, unlike her predecessors, she had greater dimensions, heavier armor, and modern 406 mm main guns.

Player Opinion

Performance

Lion has the ability to roar into action anywhere on a map to protect her cubs. Her low concealment makes her great at stalking and pouncing on unsuspecting prey. Keep in mind that even the mightiest of predators can fall victim to coordinated attacks. Therefore, she is best played at the head of her pride, able to be reinforced as needed. Her gameplay is very similar to that of the Iowa, with the added benefit of a strong Repair Party 

consumable. Use islands to mask your movements as you continue to advance and put pressure on the enemy. At the right moment, pounce!

Pros:

Great armor piercing shell penetration - sinking her teeth into the toughest of enemy skin.
High chance of fire with high explosive shells - her roar sets enemies ablaze.
Ability to change course quickly - exploiting weaknesses in her prey.
Great concealment - she can hide in plain sight and silently observe.
High healing capability - hurting her will only make her stronger when combined with the Adrenaline Rush commander skill.
Decent anti-air weaponry allows her to avoid aircraft that attempt to sting her.

Cons:

Weak side - her vulnerable to broadside hits from enemy battleships.
Long body - making her difficult to dodge torpedoes.
Thin skin - very low hit points compared to other tier IX battleships as well as a lower Torpedo Defense System.
Medium top speed - not fast enough to hunt every ship, instead forced to pounce on her prey rather than chase.

Research

Lion begins her life with decent teeth, but she is very weak to enemy air attacks. Therefore, it is probably best to focus on upgrading her hull first. With this, she can take more hits and be more effective on the battlefield. Afterwards, it depends on the player's style. For players who like to run and gun, the engine modification would be next, followed by gun fire control system, and finally main battery. For players who prefer to hunt and pounce on their unsuspecting prey, upgrade the ship's main battery first, followed by engine, and finally gun fire control system. Only a fully matured Lion can rule the pride.

Optimal Configuration

Upgrades

The recommended upgrades for Lion are as follows:

Slot 1: Main Armaments Modification 1 ensures healthy and strong teeth (main battery guns).
Slot 2: AA Guns Modification 2 helps resist enemy fleas and ticks (aircraft).
Slot 3: Main Battery Modification 3 enables more vicious and rapid attacks (faster reload speed).
Slot 4: Damage Control System Modificaiton 1 helps prevent open wounds (fewer fires and floods).
Slot 5: Damage Control System Modification 2 helps control excessive bleeding (reduced time on fires and floods).
Slot 6: Concealment System Modification 1 allows Lion to strike from stealth (because 11.1 km detection radius on a Tier IX battleship puts some Tier IX cruisers to shame).

Commander Skills

Given her low health pool, Lion will benefit most from skills that maximize her survivability, chiefly Priority Target at Level 1, High Alert at Level 2, Superintendent at Level 3, and Fire Prevention at Level 4. Once those core skills are unlocked, captains are advised to invest in Concealment Expert, Adrenaline Rush, and either Basics of Survivability or Vigilance in whichever order suits them best.

Consumables

Lion can equip the following consumables:

Slot 1: Damage Control Party 
Slot 2: Repair Party 
Slot 3: Spotting Aircraft  or Catapult Fighter

Lion should always invest in her hunt with Damage Control Party II (), Repair Party II (), and premium aircraft consumables. Spotting Aircraft II () provides better vision, enabling her to mangle prey. Catapult Fighter II () is mainly intended to keep the fleas and ticks at bay. Played properly, Lion always repays her debts.

Camouflage

Type 1, 2, or 5 camouflage can be equipped for credits; Types 2 or 5 are recommended at a minimum to reduce the accuracy of incoming shells.

Players who wish to spend doubloons can equip Lion with Type 19 camouflage that lowers her detection radius, reduces the accuracy of incoming shells, reduces her repair costs, and increases the amount of experience she earns.

 |History=<!-- write text below -->
-The ''Lion''-class battleships were a class of six fast battleships designed for the Royal Navy in the late 1930s. They were a larger, improved version of the ''[[King George V]]'' class with 16-inch (406 mm) guns. Only two ships were laid down before World War II began in September 1939 and a third was ordered during the war, but their construction was suspended shortly afterwards. Their design changed several times in response to the removal of treaty restrictions on size and in light of war experience. None of the other ships planned were laid down, although there was a proposal to modify one of the suspended ships into a hybrid battleship/aircraft carrier with two 16-inch gun turrets and a flight deck. The two ships already begun were scrapped after the end of the war.
