Tier V · Battleship · Germany
Rating C- (Quite weak within its tier and class · overall score 17) · Long-range battleship
Long-range battleship. Main battery range is 12.1 km (0.3 km longer than average), and dispersion at 12 km is about 317 m, 5% tighter than average. Strong AA fends off carrier strikes well. Key skills: Rapid Reload I ×2 (main battery reload +18%, 20 s); Engine Accelerator I ×2 (top speed +8%, 25 s). With only 35,289 effective HP, hit-and-run from cover works better than head-on fights. A survival equipment build adds damage reduction +4 pp, torpedo damage reduction +-3 pp to shore up survivability.

An alternative history refit of an early French battleship built in response to British "superdreadnoughts." After France's surrender, the hull was handed to Germany and rearmed with 305 mm guns and modernized fire-control systems.
