Warspite — British promo premium Tier VI battleship.

El HMS Warspite se unió al Quinto Escuadrón de Acorazados en 1915. Participó en la batalla de Jutlandia y fue el buque insignia de la Flota del Mediterráneo tras la Primera Guerra Mundial. Con el inicio de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, el barco se transfirió a la Flota Metropolitana y participó en la batalla de Narvik, donde hundió un destructor alemán. En 1940, volvió al mar Mediterráneo y consiguió golpear al buque insignia de la flota italiana durante la batalla de Punta Stilo. En 1941, este barco hundió dos cruceros pesados durante la batalla del cabo Matapán. In 1944, el acorazado brindó cobertura a los desembarcos de tropas aliadas en Sicilia y Normandía como parte de la Flota Oriental.

Player Opinion

Performance

An archetypal battleship, Warspite represents all that a battleship was meant to do as one of the first superdreadnoughts sent to sea. This "Grand Old Lady" can slug it out at medium range, doing massive damage with her 15-inch guns while dodging torpedoes and shrugging off gunfire. The guns marginally outrange the 14-inch guns on New Mexico and although her Tier VI American counterpart can increase her range and her Japanese counterpart has the highest base range in the tier, this ship has better shell dispersion than the other two. Her defensive armament is decidedly average, with better secondary batteries than New Mexico and better AA batteries than Fuso. This is a warship that belongs just behind the cruisers in a battle line, providing fire support where needed and taking pressure off of less sturdy allies and in a Tier VI battle, a skilled player in a Warspite can have a huge impact in the match if circumstances are with them.

LittleWhiteMouse's Premium Ship Review: Warspite from the NA forums

Pros:

Second biggest main battery of any ship at her tier.
Good all around armor.
Excellent turning radius and good rudder shift time; decent speed.
Stealthy for a Tier VI battleship; if the circumstances are ideal Warspite can fire off her salvo first, potentially rattling the enemy.
Damage Control Party takes 90 seconds to cool down — like cruiser — much faster than 120 seconds on most other battleships.
Repair Party is able to repair more damage than battleships of other nations.
Surprisingly tight shell grouping compared to New Mexico and Fuso.
Secondaries have much higher accuracy and shorter reload time in comparison to Japanese counterparts, and they fire HE making them excellent against destroyers and good at setting other ships on fire.
Secondaries have 5.0km base range (can be pushed to 7.2km with Advanced Firing Training and Secondary Battery Modification 2).

Cons:

Takes a rather long time to reach top speed.
Mediocre torpedo protection for its tier (24%).
Fewer barrels than most Tier VI battleships.
Low shell velocity.
Short maximum firing range of only 16.3km; cannot mount range upgrade mod like US counterpart to increase range.
Slow turret traverse speed means she can't effectively respond to rapid situations, though Expert Marksman mitigates this slightly.
Despite having a fast cooldown, Damage Control Party is only active for 5 seconds (like on cruisers and destroyers).
Virtually no anti-aircraft defense.
Extremely vulnerable to fires.

Research

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

Optimal Configuration

Commander Skills

Survivability and additional Secondaries/AA build

Source: LittleWhiteMouse's Close Range Warspite Build from the NA forums

Warspite has a base range of 5.0km for its secondary batteries and also has strong survivability capabilities as its Damage Control Party takes 90 seconds to cooldown like cruiser and its Repair Party is able to repair more damage than battleships of other nations. A build that emphasizes both these strengths can be considered.

Captains should invest in Priority Target, as the Warspite has a tight turning radius enabling it to dodge shells, Expert Marksman is a required skill as the Warspite’s turret rotation speed is abysmal. For the third skill, Superintendent maximizes the very strong Repair Party on Warspite. For the fourth skill, Advanced Firing Training helps Warspite with its AA and Secondary range, maximising its DPS output. With a build that has an emphasize on survivability captain can then take 3 three-points skill: Basics of Survivability for repairing fires faster, Vigilance to spot torpedoes from further away and use Warspite’s tight turning radius to dodge them, especially if the captain decides to brawl and finally Basic Firing Training to reinforce AA and Secondary batteries damage output.

Alternatively to two of the three 3-points skill (Basic Firing Training, Basics of Survivability and Vigilance), captains can opt for taking Concealment Expert that allows them to disengage faster in order to repair and re-position and then chose a 3-point skill (preferably Basics of Survivability) and then opt for Jack of All Trades for an additional reduction in Damage Control Party and Repair Party cooldown.
