Prinz Eitel Friedrich — German special premium Tier VI battleship.
SMS Prinz Eitel Friedrich, a Mackensen-class battlecruiser, was named after one of the sons of Kaiser Wilhelm II. When World War I ended, the battleship had still not been completed due to a shift in priorities toward submarines. She was launched only in March 1920 in an unfinished state. It was suggested to convert the ship into a grain carrier: In that case, she could have been completed as a battleship in the 1930s. However, the proposal was declined, and the ship's hull was dismantled in 1921.

Player Opinion
Performance
Prinz Eitel Friedrich, like other German battleships, is primarily a close-range brawler as a result of her good armor and awful guns forcing her to make engagements at close range.
Where Prinz Eitel Friedrich really shines is with her anti-aircraft armament. Her long-range aura consists of eight dual 105 mm dual purpose mounts, allowing her to reach a maximum range of 7.6 km and to benefit from Manual Fire Control for AA Armament.
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.
Captains used to the play style of German battleships should be right at home when sailing Prinz Eitel Friedrich .Pros:
- Rapid reload on her main battery armament.
- Excellent anti-aircraft suite which benefits greatly from Manual Fire Control for AA Armament
- Formidable secondary battery with a long range of 7.6km when fully specialized.
- Fast for her tier, with a top speed of 28 knots.
Cons:
- Dispersion of the main battery guns may be inconsistent.
- Does not get maximum effect from Manual Fire Control for Secondary Armament due to being Tier VI.
- Poor turning circle.
