Tier IX · Cruiser · Germany
Rating D (Bottom tier within its tier and class · overall score 2) · Balanced cruiser
Balanced cruiser, suited to secondary brawling, DD hunting. It is weak against cruisers (AP deals a same-tier cruiser's HP in about 9 min on paper). Secondary DPM of 53,911 and 52,027 effective HP make it a brawler that gets stronger up close, boosted further by its secondary skill. Effective HP of 52,027 is 24% above average. Key skills: Precision Guidance II ×2 (secondary range +30%, secondary accuracy +43%, 20 s); Air Defense Alert II ×2; Sonar I ×2 (3.75 km, 25 s). Sluggish acceleration means you must start turning early to dodge shells and torpedoes.

A project of a large ship representing a transitional stage between a cruiser and a battleship. It incorporated several concepts considered by the German Navy command during the development of new projects from the late 1920s to the late 1930s. In particular, six 350 mm main battery guns were among the options proposed for the main armament of prospective battleships in 1935.
