Mackensen
Tier VI · Battleship · Germany
Rating C- (Quite weak within its tier and class · overall score 18) · Stealthy battleship
Stealthy battleship. It is weak against battleships (HE deals a same-tier battleship's HP in about 16 min on paper). Detectability of 9.12 km is 1.61 km below average, so it is less likely to be spotted first. Top speed of 27.5 kn is 2.6 kn above average, with good rudder shift, acceleration. Key skills: Secondary Overload I ×2 (secondary reload +25%, secondary range +20%, 15 s); Sonar I ×2 (3.75 km, 25 s). Its firepower trails other battleships, so be selective and punish broadsides.
