However, priorities in shipbuilding shifted to submarines, and such a ship was never built in Germany.</p><p> </p></div>
The ship was developed from a series of German heavy cruisers. Unlike ships of preceding classes, she boasted an increased displacement and more powerful main battery guns.

|Performance=<!-- write text about performance in battles below -->
===Pros===
{{AA Sidebar Warning Insert}}
* Pro 1
* Pro 2


Settling in to play ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' at Tier X will feel good to veterans of the branch who took the time to play the previous tier's ''[[Roon]]'' and get comfortable in her.  ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' is essentially a better ''Roon'', with more guns, more torpedoes, more anti-aircraft defenses, and more health. 
===Cons===
* Con 1
* Con 2


{{#var:ship_name}}'' is gifted with a balanced 4x3 turret layout: turrets "Anton" and "Bruno" are forward of the superstructure, while  "Caesar" and "Dora" are aft of it.  This gives ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' captains the flexibility to put all twelve barrels on a single target as necessary, or to present enemies with a significantly narrower profile to shoot and still keep half her main battery in action.  Combined with her rate of fire, this makes ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' a potentially deadly opponent to almost any ship she faces.  While her individual high explosive shell performance looks uninspiring, it is deceptive; she fires a dozen, highly accurate shells every 9.8 seconds.  They produce a prodigious number of fires and rack up solid penetration damage thanks to German HE shells penetrating enemy armor thicknesses 1/4 of their diameter and below (as opposed to most other cruisers' 1/6th diameter and below).  Enemy ships who make the mistake of presenting a broadside profile to ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' should be prepared to pay the price; her armor piercing shells have good penetration values and extremely high damage.  Salvos of 10,000 damage or more against enemy battleships at mid-range or closer are not uncommon if they opt to disrespect the power of ''{{#var:ship_name}}''’s AP rounds. 


Aside from her damage output, ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' is a virtual Swiss Army knife of tools that allow her to contribute to her team's success in other ways.  She is fairly mediocre (with a 30 mm midsection and 27 mm bow and aft), with an armor scheme that leaves her vulnerable at long range, but able to take more punishment than might be expected because of the turtleback as she closes with the enemy; her {{Repair Party}} furthers her longevity.  Her torpedo armament packs a serious wallop: ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' loves to brawl with her enemies when given the chance, and her torpedoes frequently mean that she is the one sailing away afterwards, even from a point-blank engagement with an enemy battleship, although brawling shouldn't be your main focus in ''{{#var:ship_name}}''.  Last — but not least — she has excellent {{Hydroacoustic Search}}, capable of spotting incoming torpedoes more than four kilometers away, and detecting enemy ships at nearly six kilometers.

On the downside, ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' has a staggering base detection radius of 15.5 kilometers; even when fully-rigged for stealth, the lowest detection radius she can achieve is 12.6 km.  This is noteworthy in that there are some Tier X battleships capable of fitting out with an even lower detection radius.  Further compounding her detectability issues is her armor scheme's vulnerability to long-range fire if not angled properly. ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' is most vulnerable to large amounts of incoming damage when at long range. Even with these flaws, ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' shines at long - mid range were she can maximise her guns with good ballistics and good pen.

Viewed as a complete package, ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' is a very good long range HE spammer, but also does decently at close range. She is very capable of contributing to her team in any situation she might find herself in. She can provide her captain with the tools for winning, but it is up to the captain to employ these tools correctly.

As the pinnacle of the German cruiser line, ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' offers more flexibility to her captain than any other top-tier cruiser in the game. She can be fitted out as an anti-aircraft platform rivaling that of ''[[Des Moines]]''; she can boost her main battery range and rain shells on opponents from positions that make her difficult to hit; she can boost the rate of fire of her main battery significantly and turn her into one of the best damage dealers in the game. All of these options — and more — are available to ''Hindenburg'' captains, depending on which upgrades and commander skills they choose.

|Upgrades=<!-- write text about best upgrades below -->
The recommended upgrades for ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' are as follows:
* '''Slot 1''':  {{Main Armaments Modification 1}} <nowiki>*</nowiki>
* '''Slot 2''':  {{Damage Control System Modification 1}} <nowiki>*</nowiki>
* '''Slot 3''':  {{Aiming Systems Modification 1}} <nowiki>*</nowiki>
* '''Slot 4''':  {{Propulsion Modification 1}}
* '''Slot 5''':  {{Concealment System Modification 1}} <nowiki>*</nowiki>
* '''Slot 6''':  {{Main Battery Modification 3}}


'''Main Armaments Modification 1''' is the recommended pick for '''Slot 1''', though captains who choose to equip {{Spotting Aircraft}} may wish to install {{Spotting Aircraft Modification 1}} in this slot instead. Captains with access to {{Hydroacoustic Search Modification 1}} are encouraged to plug those in '''Slot 2''' depending on which consumable they opt to equip.   '''Concealment System Modification 1''' is the most popular pick for '''Slot 5''' in order to help curtail her large detection radius. Conversely, {{Steering Gears Modification 2}} is a strong option in the same slot for captains who prefer quicker rudder response, but this is not advised for a normal build.

''{{#var:ship_name}}''’s commander build is mostly similar to other cruiser counterparts, but with a few minor differences: Due to the extra {{Repair Party}} consumable, Superintendent isn't as mandatory on her as you are unlikely to burn through five {{Repair Party}}s.

Alternatively, replacing Concealment Expert with Heavy HE And SAP Shells and Grease the Gears with {{Propulsion Modification 1}} and {{Steering Gears Modification 2}} will give hindenburg more DPM, but this is advised for captains with excellent situational awareness as it gives up concealment for max DPM.

''{{#var:ship_name}}''’s best-in-game {{Hydroacoustic Search}} is one of her strengths.  It allows her to hunt down destroyers in close proximity — particularly those shielded by smoke — and to warn friendly captains of incoming torpedoes in more than ample time to avoid them.  Due to the rarity of carriers in high tier games, it is generally preferable to {{Defensive AA Fire}}, although the odd carrier might ruin a match.

Signals boosting the fire chance of her main battery — Victor Lima ({{Victor Lima|Size=18px}}) and India X-Ray ({{India X-Ray|Size=18px}}) — are recommended.  India Delta ({{India Delta|Size=18px}}) should be flown to maximize health recovered via {{Repair Party}}. Sierra Mike ({{Sierra Mike|Size=18px}}) is a good pick to increase her somewhat low top speed, while November Echo Setteseven ({{November Echo Setteseven|Size=18px}}) will help pile on more DPS for an '''Anti-Aircraft Build'''.

Like [[Ship:Roon|her predecessor]], ''Hindenburg'' is a Wargaming-fabricated design made for World of Warships.  Wargaming took Krupp's unused drawing of a triple 203mm/56 turret and built the ship around them while taking heavy inspiration from the ''[[Admiral Hipper]]''-class cruisers.  As a fictitious design, this class was never actually planned and no blueprints exist other than the turrets.


===In-game historical inaccuracies===
<gallery>
''Hindenburg'' is actually the name of a ''Derfflinger''-class battlecruiser that was in service with the Imperial German Navy from 1917 to 1919. No warship in the Kriegsmarine was ever named ''Hindenburg''.

Hindenburg — Germany Tech Tree Tier X Cruiser.

A further development of the Admiral Hipper-class cruisers, unconstrained by the Washington Naval Treaty restrictions, could have been ships with four 203 mm triple-gun turrets. Such armament would have made the new German cruisers the strongest in their ship type right until the appearance of American ships of the Des Moines class with their rapid-firing mounts. However, priorities in shipbuilding shifted to submarines, and such a ship was never built in Germany.
