Surely nothing is quite as inspiring as a powerful artillery salvo
that sends your enemy directly to their Port.
That's why everyone loves battleships so much.
Please welcome
the Premium Tier VI battleship
Prinz Eitel Friedrich.
In May 1914,
the German Kaiser approved the project
for what would be the newest battlecruiser,
developed in response to the class Queen Elizabeth superdreadnoughts
created by Great Britain.
This fact alone shows how powerful and perfect this ship would have become:
enough to make her capable of counteracting a superdreadnought.
Basically, Germans created a fast battleship.
Germany planned to build seven such Mackensen class battlecruisers
and even managed to start building four of them,
including Prinz Eitel Friedrich.
However, due to the material shortage
caused by the mass construction of submarines and destroyers,
these ships were never built.
A shame, because retrospectively,
these ships could have become a serious problem for the Royal Navy.
Besides the simple fact
that Prinz Eitel Friedrich is a beautiful ship,
she encapsulates the best features of both ship types:
combining the speed of a cruiser
and the armor of a battleship.
Her four turrets turn so easily
that the reticle won't deviate
even if you turn the helm to the max at full speed.
It's a pleasant feature, don't you agree?
Another indisputable advantage of the ship
is that her citadel is located below the waterline.
And don't forget that Prinz has great AA guns for her tier.
Tier V through Tier VII aircraft carriers
will definitely lose a couple of dozen airplanes over your ship.
Versatility is perhaps the key advantage of this ship,
with her gameplay being highly dependent
upon the upgrades applied to her.
The speed of the battleship allows changing flank quickly,
or rapidly shifting from offense to defense and vice versa.
Her relatively short firing range and low 350 mm caliber,
when compared to other battleships,
are compensated by the high accuracy of her guns.
With upgraded Secondary Armament and survivability,
Prinz Eitel Friedrich
is great for pushing at the frontline
and supporting the offensive in the first line.
In general,
Prinz Eitel Friedrich is a very convenient ship
for players of any skill level.
She's quite forgiving to newcomer's mistakes,
but transforms into the Mjölnir in the hands of an experienced captain.
However, don't think that the ship will do all of the work for you.
Also, with the corresponding camouflage,
she will satisfy you with an increased credit and XP yield.
The rest is in your hands!
