Zieten — Germany Tech Tree Tier VIII Battleship.

In 1918, the Design Bureau of the Construction Office conducted a series of studies that resulted in several dozen pre-draft designs of high-speed battleships. They were based on the project of battlecruiser Ersatz Yorck and differed in displacement and armament composition. One of the projects was a ship with three main battery turrets, a displacement of 45,000 tons, and a speed of 31 knots.

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
