''{{#var:ship_name}}'' was released September 16th, 2019 in the Armory for coal. Wargaming has [https://blog.worldofwarships.com/blog/95 announced] the ship will no longer be available to obtain with the release of Update 0.10.1 in early 2021.

===Pros===
{{AA Sidebar Warning Insert}}
* Exceptional Main Battery
''{{#var:ship_name}}'' exists as the sister-ship of the Tier X U.K. battleship, ''[[ship:Conqueror|Conqueror]]''. As such, she shares many of ''Conqueror<nowiki>'</nowiki>s'' in-game performance characteristics and weaknesses. Despite the similarities, ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' possesses certain distinguishable traits that differentiate her. Immediately, players will notice that she has access to the {{Defensive AA Fire}} consumable. Players will also find that ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' is more agile, with slightly increased turret traverse speed, and decreased reload time. She deals damage to aircraft with a short-range anti-aircraft armament, which ''Conqueror'' is lacking. To balance these traits, her {{Repair Party}} consumable is much less effective, though she has an additional charge and decreased cooldown time of this consumable in comparison to her sister-ship. Other differences include her sigma, dispersion formula, and the fuse timer settings on her armor-piercing (AP) shells.
* Equipped with Defensive AA Fire consumable
* Low detectability


''{{#var:ship_name}}'' is equipped with dual-mounted 457mm main guns, mounted in four turrets. A full salvo unleashes eight shells which are extremely accurate, meaning that ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' has a very high potential to inflict devastating damage to an enemy foolish enough to show their broadside. Her large-caliber AP rounds are capable of penetrating thick armor to reach the citadels of armored ships. Players are advised to switch to high-explosive for lesser armored targets in order to avoid overpenetration. ''{{#var:ship_name}}<nowiki>'</nowiki>s'' HE shells sport an incredible fire chance, which makes them a great option to deal with bow-in battleships or cruisers that she cannot overmatch. Her stock decreased reload time, paired with the proper upgrade module, means that ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' has a reload time more in line with a battlecruiser, rather than a battleship. Her excellent concealability affords her the ability to choose her engagements and wait for the opportune moment to fire. However, her armor scheme is far from being good, forcing captains to play in the back and capitalizing on enemy mistakes to inflicts serious damage. ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' is truly a formidable opponent, whether she be fighting naval units or aircraft. She can be customized and equipped to fit several different playstyles, and she will surely be seen excelling in her captain's desired role.
===Cons===
* Poor torpedo defense

The recommended upgrades for ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' are as follows:
* '''Slot 1''':  {{Main Armaments Modification 1}}
* '''Slot 2''':  {{Damage Control System Modification 1}}
* '''Slot 3''':  {{Aiming Systems Modification 1}}
* '''Slot 4''':  {{Damage Control System Modification 2}}
* '''Slot 5''':  {{Concealment System Modification 1}}
* '''Slot 6''':  {{Main Battery Modification 3}} <nowiki>*</nowiki>


'''Upgrade Slot 6''' - {{Main Battery Modification 3}} is recommended for higher rate of fire, but you can also choose {{Gun Fire Control System Modification 2}} to compensate the recent firing range nerfs and faster turret traverse time.

|History=
* ''Thunderer'' is Wargaming's interpretation of a post-World War II modernization of the L2 battleship design scheme from the 1920s; L2 was one of a series of design schemes for large battleships that applied lessons learned from World War I naval engagements such as the Battle of Jutland. The effort ultimately culminated in the N3 battleship and G3 battlecruiser designs before their cancellation due to the Washington Naval Treaty.
* As with the ''Conqueror'', the lattice masts reflect the naval architecture of the Royal Navy in the years following World War II.
* ''Thunderer'' was a planned name for one of the second pair of the canceled ''Lion''-class battleships of 1939 that preceded the ''Vanguard''. The contract for ''Thunderer'' was scheduled for 15 November 1939 for Fairfield Shipbuilding and Engineering Company, Limited. After the start of World War II in September, construction of the ''Lion''s was suspended by the Admiralty for one year. On 15 November 1939, work was authorised to resume whenever there was available labour, but it was suspended again in May 1940. In November, the decision to suspend construction was reaffirmed and eventually all design work ceased in April 1943.

Thunderer — U.K. Special Tier X Battleship.

After Vanguard was laid down, the further development of British battleships was aimed at increasing their dimensions. Among the options was a project with 457 mm guns that had been developed after World War I for battleships and battlecruisers of projects N and G.

Pros
