Black Friedrich der Große
Tier IX · Battleship · Germany
Rating B (Average within its tier and class · overall score 48) · Secondary-brawler battleship
Secondary-brawler battleship. Secondary DPM of 45,760 and 70,360 effective HP make it a brawler that gets stronger up close, boosted further by its secondary skill. With 4 Damage Control charges it shrugs off fire and flooding combos. Effective HP of 70,360 is 11% above average, so it holds up well. Key skills: Rapid Reload I ×3 (main battery reload +18%, 20 s); Air Defense Alert I ×2; Secondary Overload II ×1 (secondary reload +33%, secondary range +25%, 20 s). Sluggish acceleration means you must start turning early to dodge shells and torpedoes.
