Moltke
Tier IV · Battleship · Germany
Rating C+ (Lower-mid within its tier and class · overall score 38) · Fast battleship
Fast battleship, suited to flanking, AA escort. It is weak against battleships (HE deals a same-tier battleship's HP in about 13 min on paper). Top speed of 28.1 kn is 5.5 kn above average, with good turning, rudder shift, acceleration. Detectability of 8.64 km is 1.01 km below average, so it is less likely to be spotted first. Its firepower trails other battleships, so be selective and punish broadsides. A firepower equipment build improves reload 20→19 s, dispersion 342→311 m.
