Ship:Prinz Rupprecht

IX

15,000,000

Prinz Rupprecht — Germany Tech Tree Tier IX Battleship.

One of the projects developed in 1918 by the designers of the Construction Office of the German Navy Headquarters. She is a high-speed battleship (although originally listed as a battlecruiser) with four main battery turrets and a displacement of 45,000 t. The designers returned to using a forecastle-based layout on ships, which had been abandoned during the design of the Derfflinger-class battlecruisers.

Pros

• High secondary battery gun efficiency
• Strong torpedo armament
• High top speed

Cons

• Small HP Pool
• Few charges of the Repair Party consumable
• Low damage per salvo
