Iron Duke
Tier V · Battleship · U.K.
Rating D (Bottom tier within its tier and class · overall score 10) · Stealthy battleship
Stealthy battleship, suited to fire pressure. It is weak against cruisers (AP deals a same-tier cruiser's HP in about 4 min on paper). High HE fire potential (2.0 fires/min before hit rate and resistance). Key skills: Rapid Reload I ×2 (main battery reload +18%, 20 s). Shells spread widely, so fight at medium range or wait for broadsides. A survival equipment build adds damage reduction +4 pp, torpedo damage reduction +-3 pp to shore up survivability.
