Black Großer Kurfürst
Tier X · Battleship · Germany
Rating A- (Above average+ within its tier and class · overall score 67) · Durable battleship
The Black version of Großer Kurfürst, keeping its sturdy hull with 96,988 effective HP (damage reduction included). Per the wiki it carries one more Repair Kit than the original, which together with that HP pool lets it soak huge damage every game like a fortress. Its eight 457 mm guns reload in 19.5 s (fast for the caliber), reach 14.76 km with slightly tighter-than-average dispersion, and are backed by Precise Aiming System I and Rapid Reload I, so it can trade at medium range too. Air Defense Alert I helps it hold up against carriers. However, its secondary DPM is far below the original's per the engine data, and 12.9 km detectability makes it easy to spot.
