- Slot 1: Main Armaments Modification 1
- Slot 2: Damage Control System Modification 1
- Slot 3: Secondary Battery Modification 1 or Aiming Systems Modification 1

Consumables
Mackensen can equip the following consumables:
- Slot 1: Fast Damage Control Team
- Slot 2: Repair Party
- Slot 3: Hydroacoustic Search
Players should note that Mackensen’s Hydroacoustic Search consumable is the version found on VI Nurnberg rather than the version found on higher tier battleships like VIII Bismarck.
Camouflage
Type 1, 2, or 5 camouflage can be equipped for credits; Types 1 or 5 are recommended at a minimum to reduce detectibility range. Type 5 is preferred to reduce the dispersion of incoming shells as well.
Players who wish to spend doubloons can equip Mackensen with Type 16 camouflage that lowers her detection radius, reduces the accuracy of incoming shells, reduces her repair costs, and increases the amount of experience she earns.
