The new ship was equipped with a single turret positioned along the centerline, replacing the previous arrangement of two side turrets. SMS König was built at the Wilhelmshaven shipyard and commissioned at the beginning of World War I. During the Battle of Jutland, the battleship suffered significant damage and took on 1,600 tons of water. Following the capitulation of Germany, König was towed to Scapa Flow, where she was scuttled by the crew on June 21, 1918. The remains of the ship still rest on the sea floor.</p><p> </p></div>
The warship was developed from the ''[[Kaiser]]''-class battleships. She inherited her predecessors' very powerful armor. The main turrets were arranged in a more rational manner that allowed the ship to fire a broadside with all main battery guns.


|Performance=<!-- write text about performance in battles below -->
===Pros===
* Pro 1
* Pro 2


''König'' is a decent Tier V battleship with the sloping "turtleback" armor protecting the citadel of the ship. Bow on, ''König'' can take a significant amount of armor piercing fire, but doing this means that only four of the ten guns can fire at the enemy.  However, even with the good armor, ''König'' will succumb to sustained concentrated fire.  The guns are decent, but do, in some aspects, leave a bit to be desired, especially against battleships, as the guns have a low caliber.  The guns are still perfectly serviceable against cruisers, however. The lower caliber prevent over-penetrations in some cases, which makes ''König'' an effective cruiser killer.  The high shell speed of the guns and the good accuracy for a German battleship mean that ''König'' is also good at longer ranges, a contrast to ''[[Kaiser]]'' before her.
===Cons===
* Con 1
* Con 2


The secondary armament is comprehensive and will discourage most destroyers from getting close to ''König'' as well as coming in handy in close quarters fights with another battleship. The anti-aircraft suite is serviceable as well. With the C hull, torpedo or dive bomber squadrons may lose some planes, but the AA suite is not able to fend off an entire carrier attack.


The concealment is, for a battleship, rather good with a 14.6km detection range, the stealthiest of any of the Tier V battleships. This does give her a bit of flexibility when re-positioning. The maneuverability of ''König'' is rather poor as the acceleration and rudder shift are very slow. The top speed is decent at 24 knots.

SMS ''König'' was the first of four ''König''-class dreadnought battleships of the Imperial German Navy (Kaiserliche Marine) during World War I. ''König'' (Eng: "King") was named in honor of King William II of Württemberg.  Laid down in October 1911, the ship was launched on 1 March 1913. Final construction on König was completed shortly after the outbreak of World War I; she was commissioned into the High Seas Fleet on 9 August 1914.
 
====Service====
Along with her three sister ships, ''Groβer Kurfürst'', ''Markgraf'', and ''Kronprinz'', ''König'' took part in most of the fleet actions during the war. As the leading ship in the German line on 31 May 1916 in the Battle of Jutland, ''König'' was heavily engaged by several British battleships and suffered ten large-caliber shell hits. In October 1917, she forced the Russian pre-dreadnought battleship ''Slava'' to scuttle herself in the Battle of Moon Sound, which followed Germany's successful Operation Albion.
 
''König'' was interned, along with the majority of the High Seas Fleet, in Scapa Flow in November 1918 following the Armistice. On 21 June 1919, Rear Admiral Ludwig von Reuter gave the order to scuttle the fleet, including ''König'', while the British guard ships were out of the harbor on exercises. Unlike most of the scuttled ships, ''König'' was never raised for scrapping; the wreck is still on the bottom of the bay.
 
===In-game historical inaccuracies===
* All three hull modules are fictitious Nazi refits fabricated by Wargaming. ''König'' is the only German battleship that does not have a historical hull represented in the game.
* ''König'''s AA armament consisted of only four 88 mm/45 Flak guns, mounted on either side of the rear conning tower.
* All of the in-game model's AA guns entered service in the 1930s; ''König'' was scuttled in 1919 and was never raised.
* ''König'' only served with the Imperial German Navy. Its depiction as a Kriegsmarine warship is another fabrication by Wargaming.
* Both propulsion modules are also fictitious. Actual propulsion was 30,576 shaft horsepower; actual speed was 21.2 knots.

König — Germany Tech Tree Tier V Battleship.

The König design was based on Kaiser—the preceding battleship class. The new ship was equipped with a single turret positioned along the centerline, replacing the previous arrangement of two side turrets. SMS König was built at the Wilhelmshaven shipyard and commissioned at the beginning of World War I. During the Battle of Jutland, the battleship suffered significant damage and took on 1,600 tons of water. Following the capitulation of Germany, König was towed to Scapa Flow, where she was scuttled by the crew on June 21, 1918. The remains of the ship still rest on the sea floor.
