Warspite
Tier VI · Battleship · U.K. · Premium
Rating A (Strong within its tier and class · overall score 70) · Agile battleship
Agile battleship. Top speed is 23.4 kn (1.6 kn below average), but 11.1 s rudder shift and 6.4°/s turning make it exceptionally nimble at dodging shells and snapping turns. Effective HP of 46,798 is 7% above average, and evasive handling help it last. Main battery range is 12.2 km, and a good sigma clusters shells toward the aim point. Key skills: Rapid Reload I ×2 (main battery reload +18%, 20 s). A firepower equipment build improves reload 21→19.95 s, dispersion 338→308 m.
