Hindenburg — German Tier X cruiser.
El barco fue desarrollado a partir de una serie de cruceros pesados alemanes. Al contrario que los barcos de las clases precedentes, poseía un mayor desplazamiento y cañones de la batería principal más potentes.

Player Opinion
Performance
Pros:
- Fast-reloading 203mm guns; not as fast as Des Moines, but with better base range and shell arcs.
- Excellent shell velocity and low gun arc makes hitting distant targets easier.
- Good range on her main battery guns, which can be boosted to 20.7 km by equipping Gun Fire Control System Modification 3.
- Best cruiser AP shell damage in the game; Hindenburg will punish any ship that is broadside to her, regardless of class.
- Strong AA armament, especially if a few modules or commander skill points are invested in improving the range.
- Decent torpedoes with good firing arcs.
- Armor scheme is deceptively sturdy; she is hard to citadel at medium and short range.
- Best Hydroacoustic Search in the game.
Cons:
- AP shells are near useless against targets that are well-angled.
- HE shell damage is lower than all other Tier X cruisers.
- Sluggish maneuverability and low maximum speed.
- Large size; Hindenburg is fairly easy for enemies to hit.
- Prone to citadel penetrations at long range, which makes her large detection radius a huge liability.
- Large detection radius for a cruiser — 16.0 km base — although this can be reduced to ~12 km with the right equipment modules and commander skills.
- Has to expose quite a bit of her broadside to bring all guns to bear.
Research
Optimal Configuration
As the pinnacle of the German cruiser line, Hindenburg offers more flexibility to her captain than any other top-tier cruiser in the game. She can be fitted out as an anti-aircraft platform rivaling that of Des Moines; she can boost her main battery range and rain shells on opponents from positions that make her difficult to hit; she can boost the rate of fire of her main battery significantly and turn her into one of the best damage dealers in the game. All of these options — and more — are available to Hindenburg captains, depending on which upgrades and commander skills they choose.
Upgrades
Upgrade Slot 3 is one of the primary determining factors in how Hindenburg will play. Her main battery can be fitted out for either maximum range with Gun Fire Control System Modification 2, or for maximum rate of fire with Main Battery Modification 3. Neither option is bad, though with a stock range of 17.8 km, the likelihood of hitting targets more than 20 km out with her shells is somewhat questionable. Most players opt for Main Battery Modification 3, lowering the reload time on her 203mm guns to a base of 8.8 seconds (which can be further improved with the Adrenaline Rush commander skill).

Consumables
Hindenburg’s best-in-game Hydroacoustic Search is one of her strengths; the premium version is highly recommended for the reduced cool down. It allows her to hunt down destroyers in close proximity — particularly those shielded by smoke — and to warn friendly captains of incoming torpedoes in more than ample time to avoid them. Due to the rareness of carriers on high tiers it is generally preferable to Defensive AA Fire, although the odd carrier might ruin a match. Repair Party II is also recommended for the quicker cool down and extra charge; Hindenburg’s detectability radius means that she may come under concentrated fire from the enemy team. Quicker access to her health regeneration ability will improve her survivability greatly.
Camouflage
Type 1, 2, or 5 camouflage can be equipped for credits; Types 2 or 5 are recommended at a minimum to reduce the accuracy of incoming shells.
Players who wish to spend doubloons can equip Hindenburg with Type 20 camouflage that lowers her detection radius, reduces the accuracy of incoming shells, reduces her repair costs, increases her credit earnings, and increases the amount of experience she earns.
Signals
Signals boosting fire chance are recommended (see above). Sierra Mike is decent to increase her somewhat low top speed, but might lead to unpleasant surprises due to her sluggishness.
