Player Opinion
Performance
Prinz Eitel Friedrich, unlike other German battleships, is primarily a medium-range fighter with limited brawling capabilities, as a result of: good secondary armament, semi-decent main guns, and non-existent turtle-backed but durable armor.
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, however brawling should be kept to a minimum (due to her non-existent turtle-backed armor).
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 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:
- Poor main battery traverse speed for their caliber
- AP shells lack penetration, and HE shells have low damage and fire chance
- Lacks a turtleback and can take devastating citadel hits when poorly positioned
- Weak mid and short range AA defenses
- No access to aircraft or utility consumables
