Bayern — German Tier VI battleship.

En 1910, parecía que el calibre de los cañones de los próximos acorazados de Gran Bretaña, Estados Unidos y otros países superaría los 305 mm. A la vista de esto, Alemania empezó a desarrollar una potencial respuesta a estos barcos. Tras un periodo de estudio y debate, se aprobó el diseño de un barco armado con ocho cañones de 380 mm en cuatro torretas. El buque líder de la serie, el SMS Bayern, participó en actividades de patrullaje e incursión durante la Primera Guerra Mundial. Sin embargo, su única misión de combate fue la operación Albión, que pretendía ocupar el archipiélago Moonsund, por aquel entonces bajo control del ejército y la flota rusa.

Player Opinion

Performance

The last Imperial German battleship, Bayern stands as the ultimate refinement of the dreadnought-type before the shift to the fast battleship. She represents the best of what the Kaiserliche Marine had ever wanted for their linienschiff dreadnoughts: tough-as-nails, good offensive power, and fast (for a dreadnought); she is very potent when compared to other battleships of her tier.

Protecting Bayern is an armor belt significantly stronger than her American colleague New Mexico and much stronger than Fuso, though like all dreadnoughts the deck armor is somewhat questionable. Her offensive armament rivals that of Tier VI premium battleship Warspite in terms of gun caliber and ballistics with the German gun reloading several seconds faster. At a glance, Bayern may not look like much compared to her peers, but she is a solidly-rounded ship with many strengths and few weaknesses.

Pros:

Excellent damage and penetration values from her main battery guns.
Armor layout makes her highly resistant to damage.
Impressive range with the GFCS alone.
Comparable gun caliber to Warspite.
Good shell velocity.
High volume of secondaries with decent range.
Above average speed and turning characteristics.
Surprisingly stealthy for a dreadnought, allowing her to close the distance to where her guns will do more damage.
Final hull with captain perks and modules can make her almost immune to even Tier VII aircraft.
Statistically, she is the most well rounded BB for her tier.

Cons:

Dispersion of her main battery guns is often frustrating.
As with all dreadnought battleships, the stock grind can be painful.
The stock World War I-era hull does not have any anti-aircraft defenses, allowing aircraft to attack with impunity.
Does not have a catapult to launch spotter planes or defensive fighters.
Slow turret traverse.
Slightly longer reload time than most German battleships.
