Tier X · Battleship · Germany
Rating B (Average within its tier and class · overall score 54) · Secondary-brawler battleship
A German tier X tank battleship with very high effective HP of 84,382 (damage reduction included) and efficient armor that holds up well against AP. Its eight 457 mm guns reload in 19.5 s (fast for the caliber) with ~320 m dispersion at 12 km, slightly tighter than average, so up to 54,600 citadel damage is within reach. Secondary DPM is 69,198, 87% above average, and Secondary Overload makes it overwhelming the closer it gets. However, 12.9 km detectability and 32.28 s acceleration make it sluggish, and AA 26% below average makes it an easy carrier target. Per the wiki, poor rear turret firing arcs mean it must turn its hull sharply to use all its guns.
