Rating C (Weak within its tier and class · overall score 27) · Fast battleship
A German brawling battleship that fights with secondaries and torpedoes rather than its main battery. Its eight 420 mm guns have 13.86 km range and dispersion 11% wider than average, so it is weak in long-range duels. In return, secondary DPM is 77,822, over double the tier X battleship average; Secondary Overload III boosts secondary reload speed and range by 30% each for 25 s, and with a 33,880 torpedo salvo (on paper) on top it melts even capital ships up close. 10.26 km detectability and a 32.8 kn top speed suit flanking ambushes, and 3 charges of Sonar II guard against close-range torpedoes. If spotted early, though, its poor armor efficiency costs it heavily while closing in.
