Ship:Prinz Eitel Friedrich

VI

4,500 doubloons

Prinz Eitel Friedrich — Germany Premium Tier VI Battleship.

SMS Prinz Eitel Friedrich, a Mackensen-class battlecruiser, was named after one of the sons of Kaiser Wilhelm II. When World War I ended, the battleship had still not been completed due to a shift in priorities toward submarines. She was launched only in March 1920 in an unfinished state. It was suggested to convert the ship into a grain carrier: In that case, she could have been completed as a battleship in the 1930s. However, the proposal was declined, and the ship's hull was dismantled in 1921.

Pros

• High firing accuracy
• High top speed
• Faster-than-average main battery reload speed

Cons

• Low damage per minute
• Lacks a turtleback armor scheme, increasing its vulnerability to citadel hits when exposing its broadside
