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.".</p><p> </p></div>

|Performance=<!-- write text about performance in battles below -->
===Pros===
{{AA Sidebar Warning Insert}}
* Pro 1
The first heavy cruiser of the German line, ''Yorck'' is a radical change from her predecessors at Tiers V and VI... so much so that she is often a badly maligned and misunderstood ship.
* Pro 2


New ''Yorck'' captains will immediately notice the change in the main battery. ''[[Königsberg]]'' and ''[[Nürnberg]]'' both sport nine 150mm guns; ''Yorck''’s battery is comprised of eight 210mm rifles.  She fires twice as slowly as ''Nürnberg'' as well, which requires some adjustment.  Her 210mm shells, however, have greatly improved damage performance over the 150mm ones of her predecessors.  ''Yorck'' has the best HE shell performance of the entire German cruiser line with a base damage of 2,900 points and a 12% fire chance, while her AP performance is identical to those of the following German cruisers with a high damage but poor effectiveness against angled targets. The key to success while playing the ''Yorck'' lies with choosing the right type of ammunition, as both her HE and AP offer marked benefits. Her HE possesses improved penetration values, making shatters unlikely even against heavily armored enemies. Her AP has the best damage value at tier and is only marginally less potent than the AP ammunition used on the Tier X ''[[Hindenburg]]''. With good ballistics both ammunition types are effective even at maximum range.
===Cons===
* Con 1
* Con 2


''Yorck''’s armor is somewhat better than ''Nürnberg'', as befitting her heavy cruiser status.  She is still prone to citadel hits when broadside, but is the first German cruiser to feature the turtleback armor scheme that makes them more difficult to citadel at medium and close range (particularly when well-angled against incoming fire). 


In her stock configuration, ''Yorck'' finds herself with a default firing range equal to or longer than that of her American, British, and Japanese contemporaries (''[[Pensacola]], [[Fiji]]'' and ''[[Myoko]]'', respectively).  Only the French ''[[Algérie]]'' exceeds her 17.3km range when fully upgraded.  Her anti-aircraft suite is solid if unremarkable; her quick rudder shift, small turning circle, and compact overall length combine to make her a difficult target for enemy bomber aircraft.

On the whole, ''Yorck'' is one of the better Tier VII cruisers available for captains and is a solid introduction to the German heavy cruiser play style that continues with the Tier VIII ''[[Admiral Hipper]]''.

Given the range advantage that stock ''Yorck'' already enjoys, Hull (B) is the best place to invest initial experience gains. The extra health will improve her survivability greatly.

|Upgrades=<!-- write text about best upgrades below -->
The recommended upgrades for ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' are as follows:
* '''Slot 1:'''  {{Main Armaments Modification 1}}
* '''Slot 2:'''  {{Engine Room Protection}}
* '''Slot 3:'''  {{Main Battery Modification 2}}<nowiki>*</nowiki>
* '''Slot 4:'''  {{Steering Gears Modification 1}}


'''Upgrade Slot 3''' offers three interesting choices: {{Aiming Systems Modification 1}}, {{AA Guns Modification 1}}, or '''Main Battery Modification 2''' (which, when combined with Expert Marksman drops her turret traverse under 27 seconds for 180 degree turn time). Ultimately this is captain's choice, but Main Battery Modification 2 is recommended so that ''Yorck'' can keep her guns on target while actively maneuvering.

Of all the cruisers in the German line, ''Yorck'' will benefit most from Demolition Expert at Level 3 given how frequently she will find herself firing HE shells. Expert Marksman is a must at Level 2, and Concealment Expert is highly recommended at Level 4.

|History=<!-- write text below -->
''Yorck'' is derived from a series of conceptual sketches that eventually led to the ''Deutschland''-class panzerschiffes of the Kriegsmarine. In these sketches, the ''Yorck'' is known as the Entwurf I/10. Her main armament size, 210mm, is unique among heavy cruisers as it is the same guns used on the SMS ''Blücher'', the last armored cruiser built by the German Empire.


Her name, which was given to her by Wargaming, is shared with the second ''Roon''-class armored cruiser SMS ''Yorck'' as they are both named for Prussian field marshal Ludwig Yorck von Wartenburg.

===Historical Inaccuracies===
* No ship in the Kriegsmarine was ever named ''Yorck''.
* Being a 1923 design, both anti-aircraft gun configurations are fictitious upgrades of the ship.
* ''Yorck'' is depicted with hypothetical Nazi-era modernizations. As a result, her original 1923 design is missing.

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.".
