A behemoth battleship of 100,000 tons, equipped with extra-heavy 483 mm main guns and mighty AA defenses comprising anti-aircraft and dual-purpose gun systems designed in the 1940s.<br /><br />''{{#var:ship_name}}'' was released into the German tech tree on 14 April 2022.

''{{#var:ship_name}}'', the supership of the German battleship tech tree, carries the largest guns of any German ship in the game. She shares similar characteristics to ''[[Ship:Preussen|Preussen]]'', but with the inclusion of the Direct Control Over Secondary Battery Crews combat instruction that increases her strength in long range secondary batteries.
===Cons===
* Con 1
* Con 2


<h4>Armament:</h4>


''{{#var:ship_name}}'' features eight 483mm guns housed in four twin turrets. Her main battery range is short at only 21.4km, but can be increased with the Spotter Plane consumable. The guns also have good firing angles compared to other high tier German battleships.

These guns are different from ''Preussen''’s 457mm guns not only in size but overmatch capability. The AP shells can overmatch 32mm plating, feature good alpha damage, and decent penetration. Her HE shells have a 39% fire chance and have the German “quarter pen” mechanic, allowing them to penetrate up to 121mm of armor. ''{{#var:ship_name}}''’s large guns allow her to overmatch and can deal damage to every ship in her matchmaking spread as long as aiming and dispersion allow.

''{{#var:ship_name}}''’s gun accuracy is nearly identical to ''Preussen'' in terms of dispersion values and sigma. While '''Preussen'' gets a fast 22 second reload to compensate for low gun count and unreliable accuracy, ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' has a slightly longer reload at 24 seconds and the addition of 32mm overmatch.

''{{#var:ship_name}}'' carries sixteen twin-mount 128mm secondary turrets, with improved German secondary accuracy and increased range. They have a base reload of 4 seconds, 32mm penetration, and a base range of 8.3km (which can be increased to 12.5km with appropriate captain skills, modules, and signals). As with her main guns, they also have the quarter pen mechanic.

Her secondaries are further enhanced by the Direct Control Over Secondary Battery Crews combat instruction, which increases secondary battery firing range by 12% and decreases their reload time by 12% for 50 seconds.

''{{#var:ship_name}}''’s hull features a similar armor scheme to her predecessor, ''Preussen''. Her 15km concealment is very high for a battleship and many ships in her matchmaking range can outspot her. Her hull has a high health pool of 126,500 (2nd largest in the game) but her torpedo damage reduction is lower at 30%. Her overall armor scheme is strong, with a 50mm central deck and 32mm bow and stern armor. She also has a 60mm icebreaker that covers most of the bow armor. Her citadel is well protected by a strong armor belt and the turtleback armor scheme found on German battleships. However, she is still vulnerable to citadel hits from long distances by battleship AP and will take massive penetration damage at closer ranges.
Like other German battleships, ''{{#var:ship_name}}''’s superstructure is massive and thinly armored which makes it easily susceptible to AP full penetrations and HE shells. Even when angled, she can still take large chunks of damage. 
''{{#var:ship_name}}'' is a noticeably larger target than ''Preussen'' and much easier to hit at longer ranges.


While her armor can easily resist HE shells, ''{{#var:ship_name}}''’s large HP pool leaves her very susceptible to percentage-based fire damage — a single full duration fire deals more than 22,000 damage. As she has a normal battleship {{Damage Control Party}} consumable, it is important to save the consumable for multiple instances of fires.

''{{#var:ship_name}}'' carries a long range German {{Hydroacoustic Search}}, which comes with 3 charges lasting for 120 seconds, and has a cooldown period of 120 seconds. It detects ships and torpedoes at 6 km and 4 km respectively.

<h4>Maneuverability:</h4>


''{{#var:ship_name}}''’s 30 knot top speed is good for her size, allowing her to make forward pushes or comfortably reposition as needed. However, her 21 second rudder shift and 1170m turning circle are both poor. Players must position carefully as turning away gives considerable time for enemy ships to deal massive damage. Although she has an improved Hydroacoustic Search consumable, her bad maneuverability and low torpedo damage reduction mean torpedoes are a considerable threat. Players can equip the Steering Gears Modification 1 in the 4th slot module to reduce the rudder shift time but this does not affect the bad turning radius.

For ''Preussen'' players, ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' should feel familiar. The relatively close to medium range aggressive battleship playstyle is enhanced with larger guns, 32mm overmatch, strong frontal armor, and the Direct Control Over Secondary Battery Crews combat instruction.

</div>
</div></div></div>


However, she has the same considerable downsides found on her predecessors, notably poor agility and concealment, which makes the close to medium play style more difficult to do successfully. Having a large hitpoint pool comes at a price, as Hannover takes more fire damage, more torpedo damage due to the low torpedo damage reduction, and is an easier target to hit due to her massive size.


Like other secondary focused battleships, ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' should avoid being too aggressive at the start of the battle to avoid massive HP loss from fires, torpedoes, and aircraft. Towards mid to late game, players should utilize island cover, concealment, and Hydroacoustic Search to push key positions in order to utilize her secondaries and main guns to deal effective damage. Due to the nature of the combat instructions, players will find more success in firing as much as possible to fulfill the requirements for the Main Battery Fire Adjustment as it increases her secondary damage per minute as well as the range to 14 km.
<!-- Add the ship code here to populate the upgrade table -->
{{Ship Upgrades Section|code=PGSB111_Hannover}}


While ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' can be played as a secondary focused battleship like most German battleships, she can also be built for main guns due to their relatively fast reload and ability to overmatch 32mm. However, this does not fully utilize her combat instructions to further improve secondary performance.


''{{#var:ship_name}}'' is an improvement to the offensive capabilities of the German battleship line, but with the increased vulnerability to fires, torpedoes, and penetration damage.

Steering Gears Modification 1 is preferred in slot 4 due to how sluggish Hannover is. She benefits from better rudder shift to dodge torpedoes with hydro acoustic search on, turning for gun/secondary angles, and for turning towards incoming shells.

Hannover — Germany Tech Tree Tier 11 Battleship.

A further development of the H-class project with reinforced main battery guns. The next step after the 457 mm guns would be to increase the caliber to 19 inches (483 mm). Such a caliber would establish German battleships as the most heavily armed vessels in the annals of naval history. By the time of their development, plans were in place to completely discontinue the use of non-dual-purpose secondary battery guns and replace them with dual-purpose artillery.
