Yorck — Germany Tech Tree Tier VII Cruiser.

Under the terms of the Treaty of Versailles, Germany was permitted to retain six aging battleships of the Deutschland and Braunschweig classes. Upon reaching their designated age limits, these vessels could be replaced with ships weighing no more than 10,000 tons in displacement. In the 1920s, the heads of the Navy initiated extensive research into future ships to replace the old battleships. Several variants were proposed, including a design resembling the "Washington" cruisers. This particular project envisioned the use of eight 8-inch guns. The project was never implemented, but its further development led to the emergence of "pocket battleships.".

Pros

• Improved main battery and shell caliber over Nurnburg
• HE shells with high armor penetration capabilities and AP shells with high damage
• Enhanced Hydroacoustic Search consumable available

Cons

• Weak armor
• Low top speed
