Nassau — German Tier III battleship.
The lead ship in the first series of dreadnoughts of the Imperial German Navy. This battleship was notable for reliable armor, good torpedo protection, and a powerful secondary battery. She carried 283 mm guns that were not inferior in many aspects to larger-caliber gun systems adopted by other navies of the world.

Player Opinion
Performance
Nassau is the first German battleship in the line. She is similar to Kawachi in turret layout, but has smaller, faster firing guns. While faster firing, the guns can still somewhat inflict good damage despite having the smallest gun caliber at Tier III.
Secondary guns are beyond excellent for its tier, and can provide good protection especially when dealing with sneaky destroyers.
The accuracy on this ship, on the other hand, is noted by players as "hilarious" and very much like Kawachi, most of the fired shots will tend to miss the target. However, firing in intervals will help lessen the accuracy problem.
One must be aware also, that this ship has very poor detection range. Most ships you will encounter can shoot at you even before you see them.Pros:
- Faster reload time than any other Tier III battleship.
- 1.8 sigma.
- Very tough armor, difficult to citadel.
- Bow has enough armor to deflect most shells from other battleships.
- Long-range and high damage secondary guns melt light ships.
- Despite having the smallest caliber main guns in Tier III battleships, shells can still inflict good damage.
- Can point six guns fully forward and all her batteries have excellent shooting angles that allow angling and shooting.
Cons:
- While it has a 1.8 sigma, it still has terrible dispersion and misses a lot.
- Vulnerable to fires due to the lack of deck armor.
- Low top speed.
- Poor AA protection, though it's unlikely she'll encounter enemy carriers.
- Poor main gun range, though better than Kawachi.

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.
Nassau also has a permanent camouflage called "Blade", in which she appears as she does during the Halloween scenario "A Light in the Dark".Gallery
