Rating S- (Near elite within its tier and class · overall score 82) · 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. With 4 Damage Control charges it shrugs off fire and flooding combos. Key skills: Rapid Reload I ×4 (main battery reload +18%, 20 s).

This 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 in comparison to similar gun systems.
