Rating A (Strong within its tier and class · overall score 72) · Long-range battleship
Long-range battleship. It is especially strong against battleships and cruisers (AP deals a same-tier battleship's HP in about 6 min on paper). With 12.6 km range and tight groupings but low speed, it suits setting up behind the line and firing from afar. AP penetration of 386 mm is 7% above average and handles thick armor. Key skills: Sonar I ×2 (3.75 km, 25 s); Precise Aiming System I ×2 (main battery accuracy +33%, 20 s).

The warship belonged to the last series of battleships built for the Imperial German Navy. She was distinguished by her powerful 380 mm main guns with extremely good shell ballistics and a rate of fire that was quite high among similar gun systems.
