Rating A+ (Strong within its tier and class · overall score 75) · High-firepower battleship
A battlecruiser with six 508 mm guns; apart from its firepower and size, it plays much like a cruiser. With a 350% citadel multiplier and ~236 m dispersion at 12 km (28% tighter than average), adding Precise Aiming System III lets it wreck a broadside cruiser in a single salvo. 8.82 km detectability and 16.94 s acceleration let it hide and move like a cruiser, and its 9.9 km torpedoes outrange its detectability, allowing ambush torpedo attacks. On the other hand, HP is on the low side at 65,654 and its thin deck armor gets heavily penetrated even by cruiser AP. The wiki calls it a definitive counter to large and heavy cruisers.
