{{WoWs_Ship|Promo=

|Anno= One of the two mightiest battleships in the German Navy. Akin to the lead ship of her class, Tirpitz had heavy ship armor, powerful artillery and a high speed. Weak horizontal armor protection was the main drawback of her design, but this was largely offset by improving her AA defense.

' was first released for sale worldwide on 17 September 2015.

|Performance=

Referred to as the "Derpitz" or the "Torpitz" — due to a large number of inexperienced players choosing to purchase her outright without knowledge of high tier gameplay — Tirpitz is surprisingly flexible for a battleship and can be used as either a proper battleship or as an impromptu battlecruiser. Probably the most surprising thing players will find is that her main battery load time is about 26 seconds, which can be daunting to face. She also has torpedo tubes, useful for when cruisers or battleships get in too close or when the ship is able to work its way into melee range. Her 15-inch guns are the smallest BB guns on Tier VIII battleship (tied with her sister Bismarck), and have not only a high amount of dispersion when firing at maximum to extreme range but will find trouble punching through armor designed to protect against 16-inch shells. However, the smaller caliber means that shells are less likely to overpenetrate cruisers, and when combined with the good turret traverse and reload time (for a battleship), this can make Tirpitz excellent at clearing the battlefield of enemy cruisers.

Her AA suite — once considered sub-par — has gone through several rounds of improvements but is still unreliable, and will not save you from a dedicated carrier assault. As a capital ship, she will, of course, still be a priority target for enemy aircraft carriers, and thus captains must be wary of an enemy CV should they find themselves against one. At 30.7 knots, it may be easy for her to outrun her team; excellent map awareness and an eye on positioning of friendly ships is key to playing Tirpitz well, so much so that inexperienced players that fail to consider it quickly earn the ire of their teammates. Many Tirpitz captains will put too much or not enough trust in her armor, either rushing too far forward for a torpedo rush and quickly sinking from a focused enemy barrage, or staying too far back, where her guns are inaccurate, lose power, and make her vulnerable to plunging fire. The key to success with Tirpitz is proper positioning and knowing the right balance for your positioning in a given scenario. Being a German vessel, she was designed and built with the relatively short range battles of the northeast Atlantic and Baltic in mind, not the long range battles of the Pacific. Thus, her armor is a double-edged sword, very thick on the side for short range attacks, but very weak on the deck should a round manage to land and penetrate there. Similar to her cruiser counterparts in the German tech tree, her AP shells far outshine her HE shells, which leave much to be desired.

With her handling characteristics, there are two primary ways to drive this ship: either joining the main wave as part of the battle line, or as the capital ship for a cruiser group that did not join the main line to form a flanking unit. One important thing to remember is that Tirpitz has fallen from its place as the top brawler at tier VIII, for a number of reasons. While still a daunting opponent, the addition of the Bismarck means you can no longer be sure of beating anything at close range. With its equal secondary armament (though no longer superior as of the range buff in update 0.6.4) and access to Hydroacoustic Search, the Bismarck is fully capable of outbrawling the Tirpitz. However, If you find yourself in a close range fight, your torpedoes can provide a valuable advantage. But if you intend to utilize a brawling playstyle, remember that you are no longer assured of victory at close range.

Tirpitz is a very capable ship in the right hands, and especially inside its torpedo range, is not to be underestimated. However, it has become very difficult to play effectively. With all these things considered, team play and knowing where to be, when to be there, and using her assets effectively when you get there will carry you to victory.

|Prós=

• Fast turret traverse and main battery reload time (26 seconds) for a battleship.
• Surprisingly nimble for a battleship of her size, with an excellent top speed (30 knots).
• Has one quadruple torpedo tube on each side located near amidships.
• Insanely good secondary battery.
• Reminiscent of earlier battleship gameplay: the closer she gets, the more dangerous she becomes to her enemies.
• Well-protected citadel and impressive durability. ' is among the hardest ships in the game to land citadel hits against; most AP shells will land normal penetrations and are thus easier to repair damage from.
• Lower (for her tier and class) caliber shells result in fewer overpenetrations against broadside cruisers.

|Contras=

• 15-inch guns have trouble with angled enemy battleships (use HE against the superstructure or choose a different target).
• Only has eight (8) barrels, while every other ship at this tier has nine (9) or more of a higher caliber.
• Torpedoes only have a 6.0 km range and are vulnerable to frequent incapacitations due to their location on her deck.
• Anti-aircraft suite is not as strong as that of sister ship Bismarck.
• Weak deck armor makes ' susceptible to plunging fire at long range.
• Weak torpedo protection, although better than North Carolina.
• Extremely vulnerable to fires. Superstructures can be set on fire by calibers of any size quite easily.
• Armor scheme remains vulnerable to full penetrations by armor-piercing shells when showing the flat broadside of the ship to the enemy; may not take citadel damage, but a lot of regular penetration damage hurts just as badly.

|Pesquisar= As a premium ship, Tirpitz doesn't have any upgrades to research.

|Melhor Configuração=

|Atualizações= ' has access to five Upgrade Slots as a Tier VIII ship. ' also has the option of building for Secondaries or for AA.

• Slot 1: Predefinição:Main Armaments Modification 1 to improve her main battery survival.
• Slot 2: Predefinição:Damage Control System Modification 1 to improve her overall survival in battle.
• Slot 3: Predefinição:Aiming Systems Modification 1 to improve her main battery accuracy, Predefinição:AA Guns Modification 1 for an AA build, or Predefinição:Secondary Battery Modification 1 for a secondary build.
• Slot 4: Predefinição:Damage Control System Modification 2 to further improve her overall survival. Predefinição:Steering Gears Modification 1 is also an option to improve her maneuverability.
• Slot 5: Predefinição:Concealment System Modification 1 to reduce her detection range. Predefinição:Torpedo Lookout System is also a viable choice if torpedoes are a recurring threat.

|HabilidadesdeComandante= Secondary Battery Build: Following along with the theme of maximizing the punishment dished out by Tirpitz’s secondaries, captains should invest in Basic Firing Training, Expert Marskman, Superintendent, and Advanced Firing Training. Manual Control for Secondary Armament is a strong skill in this build, but it only allows the ship's secondaries to fire at a single target at a time. Some captains will prefer this skill; others will not. Extra skill points should be invested in either Basics of Survivability, High Alert, or Vigilance, as desired.

Anti-Aircraft Build: Similar to the secondary-focused build, Basic Firing Training, Expert Marskman, Superintendent, and Advanced Firing Training form the core of the commander skills. Captains then double up on Level 4 skills and pick up Manual Fire Control for AA Armament. German long-range AA batteries are all in excess of 85mm, allowing them to make good use of the skill and dish out extreme punishment to enemy aircraft.

Predefinição:Commander Skills 2

|Consumíveis= ' can equip the following consumables:

• Slot 1: Damage Control Party 
• Slot 2: Repair Party 
• Slot 3: Spotting Aircraft  or Caça 

|Camuflagem= As a premium ship, Tirpitz comes included with Type 10 camouflage that lowers her detection radius, reduces the accuracy of incoming shells, and increases the amount of experience she earns.

' also has two alternate premium camouflages. The first, "Tarnanstrich", was earned through the Santa's Christmas Convoys event of December 2016 to January 2017; the other is called "Magnu-S", in which she appears as she does during the Halloween scenario "Sunray in the Darkness".
