Special

Weimar — German special premium Tier VII cruiser.

German engineers considered several weaponry options when developing 10,000-ton ships. The lightest of the projects under consideration was the I/10 project, with eight 210 mm guns housed in four turrets. At the same time, the first modern German light cruisers carried 150 mm triple-gun turrets. The size and layout of the I/10 project allowed for the use of four such turrets in place of 210 mm gun mounts.

Weimar was first released for sale on 09 July 2021.

Player Opinion

Performance

Weimar is a Tier VII German light cruiser that takes a slot next to her Tech Tree counterpart, Yorck, compared to which she can be regarded as a light cruiser version similar to how Mainz is a light cruiser version of Admiral Hipper.

However, there are some additional differences between the two ships which affect the play style. Most noticeably Weimar has access to the Engine Boost  consumable, allowing her to temporarily boost her maneuverability to evade fire or to allow a quick reposition maneuver. Secondly she has access to the Spotting Aircraft  consumable, temporarily boosting her otherwise mediocre 14km range to 18.2km.

The main armament of twelve 150mm guns benefits greatly from the improved HE penetration that German shells enjoy, allowing her to penetrate up to 38mm of armor without hurting her fire chance through the use of IFHE. This gives Weimar better usability as a captain trainer, requiring no specific build. The Alpha damage and fire chances also follow the rules of German shells, being below average, making Weimar unable to deal large Alpha strikes with those shells. Her AP shells come with a decent AP penetration and improved AP shell damage, making them lethal shells against cruisers and battleships with thinner extremities that show enough side.

In terms of survivability Weimar comes with several downsides compared to Yorck. The 16mm fore and aft armor make her more vulnerable against battleship caliber shells and smaller HE shells, which means that Weimar would do best to avoid getting hit in the first place.

In terms of play style Weimar is best played at range, making usage of her Engine Boost 

consumable and Spotting Aircraft 

to avoid return fire while dealing continuous damage with HE shells and fires against larger targets, or hitting cruiser broadsides with AP shells for increased penetration damage even if she does not score citadel hits.

Pros:

Improved HE penetration for the main guns permits consistent damage against thicker plated ships even without IFHE.
Despite the slow reload, the practical DPM is high due to good trajectories and HE penetration.
Heavy torpedo armament for high alpha strikes at short range.
Improved German Hydroacoustic Search .

Cons:

Lighter bow plating than Yorck, leaving Weimar prone to overmatch.
Short main battery range of only 14km.
Worse than average speed and rudder shift time.
Vulnerable to air attack.

Research

As a premium ship, Weimar has no module upgrades to research.

Optimal Configuration

Upgrades

Slot 1: Main Armaments Modification 1
Slot 2: Hydroacoustic Search Modification 1 (special) or Engine Room Protection

Consumables

Weimar can equip the following:

Slot 1: Damage Control Party 
Slot 2: Hydroacoustic Search  or Defensive AA Fire 
Slot 3: Engine Boost 
Slot 4: Spotting Aircraft  or Catapult Fighter

Prefer Hydroacoustic Search over Defensive AA Fire and Spotting Aircraft over Catapult Fighter.

Camouflage

Weimar comes with Type 10 camouflage that lowers her detection radius, reduces the accuracy of incoming shells, reduces her service cost, and increases the amount of experience she earns.
