Friedrich der Grosse — Germany Tech Tree Tier IX Battleship.

In 1938 and 1939, a plan for the modernization and expansion of the German fleet was developed. Six new battleships were supposed to become the core of the fleet—modernized versions of the Bismarck-class battleships with a diesel power plant and increased gun caliber of up to 406 mm. In July 1939, the keel of the first ship was laid down at the Blohm & Voss shipyard in Hamburg, and in September, the construction of the second one began in Bremen. With the outbreak of World War II, construction was suspended and then canceled.

Pros

High survivability
High rate of fire
High secondary battery gun efficiency
Enhanced Hydroacoustic Search consumable

Cons

High detectability
Low maneuverability
