Player Opinion
Performance
Prinz Eitel Friedrich, 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 Prinz Eitel Friedrich 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!).
Prinz Eitel Friedrich 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 Prinz Eitel Friedrich.
Pros:
- Faster than average main battery reload speed
- Good main battery accuracy, with high sigma and low dispersion
- Heavy secondary armament with a maximum range of 8,5km
- High main and secondary HE penetration
- Good armor profile for a battlecruiser
- Decent long range (flak) AA defenses

Cons:
- Poor main battery traverse speed
- Poor AP penetration and shell velocity (the latter due to high air drag)
- Poor main battery HE damage output
- Lacks a turtleback and can take devastating citadel hits when poorly positioned
- Extremely weak mid and short range AA defenses
- Lacks aircraft and/or utility consumables
- Poor concealment
