Following long debates about whether or not battlecruisers were actually needed, and how these should be built with what kind of priorities, a design was proposed which left most parties satisfied.
History Designįollowing the Derfflinger-class, a class of battlecruisers was ordered that would maintain the protection and speed, while increasing the caliber of the main armament to either 340mm or 355mm in four twin turrets. However, brawling should be kept to a minimum due to her non-existent turtleback.Ĭaptains used to the play style of German battleships should be right at home when sailing Prinz Eitel Friedrich.Ī side profile of what the Mackensen-class would have looked like. Her good armor and AA will keep her safe while doing so, and captains should have no problems handling her in a brawl. Prinz Eitel Friedrich is also quite fast for ships of her tier, allowing her to close to within her ideal engagement range quite quickly. Her long-range aura consists of eight twin 105 mm dual purpose mounts, giving her the same long-range DPS as higher-tier ships like Bismarck and Friedrich der Große (Her continuous AA damage is actually higher than said ships!). Where Prinz Eitel Friedrich really shines is with her anti-aircraft armament. Prinz Eitel Friedrich, unlike other German battleships, is primarily a medium-range fighter with limited brawling capabilities, as a result of her good secondary armament, poor main guns, and non-turtleback but durable armor. The data presented in the AA Defense sidebar section may be incorrect.įor a graphic summary of ships Tiers VIII thru XI see LittleWhiteMouse's "Actual AA DPS".
