Monarch — U.K. Tech Tree Tier VIII Battleship.

After receiving intel that Japan wouldn't limit the caliber of its new battleships, British engineers began making changes to the construction of the new project 14O battleships. One of the armament options was to install 381 mm guns in three triple-gun turrets, which allowed for offsetting the heavy weight the enhanced armor implied.

Pros

• Low detectability
• High damage per minute with both HE and AP shells
• Access to Specialized Repair Teams consumable (Restores a considerable portion of a ship's HP by repairing damage within a short period of time)

Cons

• Low level of protection against HE shells
• Low AA defense efficiency at long range
