Prinz Adalbert
Tier X · Cruiser · Germany
Rating D (Bottom tier within its tier and class · overall score 7) · Balanced cruiser
The German tech-tree tier X large cruiser, with a heavy punch from nine 350 mm guns and a sturdy hull. 59,311 HP, thick armor, and good torpedo protection put its durability among the best of any cruiser. However, a very long 21.0 s reload puts DPM 43% below average, and dispersion at 10 km is 46% wider than average, so it is weak in long-range firefights. Secondary DPM is over double the average, but sluggish handling (28.34 s acceleration, 14.7 s rudder shift) makes closing to short range difficult too. Many consider it awkward at both close and long range.

Super-heavy cruiser representing a hypothetical further development of a powerful ocean raider armed with "battleship" guns. The ship's main armament of nine 350 mm guns is complemented by dual-purpose and anti-aircraft artillery systems that were under development in Germany in the early 1940s.
