Thunderer — British promo premium Tier X battleship.

This ship was designed as a battleship with increased firepower on the basis of the British experience in ship construction gained during World War II. The project was notable for the 457 mm main guns, which were developed in the early 1920s and were the most powerful British naval artillery systems.

Player Opinion

Performance

Thunderer exists as the sister-ship of the Tier X U.K. battleship, Conqueror. As such, she shares many of Conqueror's in-game performance characteristics and weaknesses. Despite the similarities, Thunderer possesses certain distinguishable traits that differentiate her. Immediately, players will notice that she has access to the Defensive AA Fire (While active, the damage per second of large caliber anti-aircraft guns is increased.) consumable. Players will also find that Thunderer is more agile, with slightly increased turret traverse speed, and decreased reload time. She deals damage to aircraft with a short-range anti-aircraft armament, which Conqueror is lacking. To balance these traits, her Repair Party (While active, restores a percentage of the ship's health points each second.) consumable is slightly less effective, though she has an additional charge and decreased cooldown time of this consumable in comparison to her sister-ship. Other differences include her sigma and the fuse timer settings on her armor-piercing (AP) shells.

Thunderer is equipped with dual-mounted 457mm main guns, mounted in four turrets. A full salvo unleashes eight shells which are extremely accurate, meaning that Thunderer has a very high potential to inflict devastating damage to an enemy foolish enough to show their broadside. Her large-caliber AP rounds are capable of penetrating thick armor to reach the citadels of armored ships. Players are advised to switch to high-explosive for lesser armored targets in order to avoid overpenetration. Thunderer's HE shells sport a decent fire chance, as well, adding another incentive for using this ammunition type. Her stock decreased reload time, paired with the proper upgrade module, means that Thunderer has a reload time more in line with a battlecruiser, rather than a battleship. Her excellent concealability affords her the ability to choose her engagements and wait for the opportune moment to fire. Thunderer is truly a formidable opponent, whether she be fighting naval units or aircraft. She can be customized and equipped to fit several different playstyles, and she will surely be seen excelling in her captain's desired role.

Pros:

  • Very hard-hitting AP and HE shells
  • Excellent main battery reload speed
  • Large main battery gun caliber allows AP shells to overmatch 30mm of armor
  • Great main battery accuracy, rivals Yamato's
  • Excellent rudder shift for a battleship
  • Great concealment, comparable to techtree counterpart Conqueror
  • Very powerful mid-range AA suite
  • Has access to the Defensive AA Fire (While active, the damage per second of large caliber anti-aircraft guns is increased.) consumable
  • Has access to an improved version of Repair Party (While active, restores a percentage of the ship's health points each second.) with a fast cooldown

Cons:

  • Only eight shells per salvo compared to Conqueror's twelve
  • While better than standard, Repair Party (While active, restores a percentage of the ship's health points each second.) is not as effective as Conqueror's
  • Weak armor scheme, especially against HE spam
  • Fairly poor shell velocity
  • Lacks aviation facilities and cannot use aircraft consumables

Research

As a premium ship, Thunderer doesn't have any upgrades to research.

Optimal Configuration

Upgrades

The recommended upgrades for Thunderer are as follows:

Upgrade Slot 1 provides a useful alternative to Main Armaments Modification 1 (-20% to the risk of main battery becoming incapacitated. / +50% to main battery survivability. / -20% to main battery repair time. / -20% to the risk of torpedo tubes becoming incapacitated. / +50% to torpedo tubes survivability. / -20% to torpedo tubes repair time.). For players who wish to specialize for anti-aircraft duties, Auxiliary Armaments Modification 1 (Increases survivability of the secondary battery and AA mounts: +100% survivability to each.) should be mounted.

Upgrade Slot 3 provides options with different benefits. Aiming Systems Modification 1 (Increases the firing accuracy of the main battery and secondary battery, accelerates the traverse speed of torpedo tubes, and extends the firing range of the secondary battery: -7% main battery dispersion. / +20% torpedo tubes traverse speed. / +5% secondary battery firing range. / -5% secondary battery dispersion.) is typically recommended for increased accuracy in long-range gunnery. For specialization in anti-aircraft duties, AA Guns Modification 1 (Improves AA efficiency: +20% reduction in the preparation time of the priority AA sector.) should be mounted.

Commander Skills

Key skills for Thunderer commanders include Superintendent in order to provide her with an additional charge of her Repair Party (While active, restores a percentage of the ship's health points each second.) and Defensive AA Fire (While active, the damage per second of large caliber anti-aircraft guns is increased.), and Concealment Expert in order to provide her with better ability to choose her engagements.

Consumables

Thunderer can equip the following consumables:

Camouflage

As a premium ship, Thunderer comes included with Type 20 camouflage that lowers her detection radius, reduces the accuracy of incoming shells, reduces her repair costs, increases her credits earned per battle, and increases the amount of experience she earns.
