Player Opinion
Performance
', unlike other German battleships, is primarily a medium-range fighter with limited brawling capabilities, as a result of her good secondary armament, poor main guns, and non-turtleback but durable armor.
Where ' really shines is with her anti-aircraft armament. Her long-range aura consists of eight twin 105 mm dual purpose mounts, giving her the same long-range DPS as higher-tier ships like Bismarck and Friedrich der Große (Her continuous AA damage is actually higher than said ships!).
' is also quite fast for ships of her tier, allowing her to close to within her ideal engagement range quite quickly. Her good armor and AA will keep her safe while doing so, and captains should have no problems handling her in a brawl. However, brawling should be kept to a minimum due to her non-existent turtleback.
Captains used to the play style of German battleships should be right at home when sailing '.
Pros:
- Faster than average main battery reload speed of 28 seconds
- Reasonably accurate for a German battleship
- Heavy secondary armament with a decent base range
- High top speed of 28 knots
- Well armored for a battlecruiser
- Good long range AA aura
Cons:
- Low main battery caliber for her tier
- AP shells lack penetration, and HE shells have typical low damage and fire chance
- Lacks a turtleback and can take devastating citadel hits when poorly positioned
- Lacks access to an effective secondary build due to tier
- Relatively weak mid and short range AA defenses
- No access to aircraft or utility consumables
Research
Optimal Configuration
Upgrades
' Has the standard upgrade slots and choices for a tier VI battleship. A standard battleship build will work well for her, but she also has strong anti-aircraft power for tier 6, so if one enjoys ruining a carrier's day, mounting anti-aircraft modules can also work.
The recommended upgrades for ' are as follows:
- Slot 1: Main Armaments Modification 1
- Slot 2: Damage Control System Modification 1
- Slot 3: Aiming Systems Modification 1
- Slot 4: Damage Control System Modification 2
Commander Skills
Key skills for specialised ' commanders include Priority Target and Superintendent. Other commander skills are variable, however it should be noted that many AA skills are not as effective as they once were and that ', due to its location in Tier 6, does not gain full benefits from the Manual Fire Control for Secondary Armament skill.
