Ägir — Germany Premium Tier IX Cruiser.

Raider battlecruisers were supposed to carry six 380 mm guns placed in three turrets. However, some held the belief that such a caliber was excessive for a raider, given the limited quantity of shells available, and that the shells themselves were clearly excessive for destroying merchant ships. A compromise between sufficient firepower and shell power would be to use 305 mm three-gun mounts. Three such mounts would provide a firing performance comparable to that of 380 mm three double-gun mounts.

Pros

• High survivability
• AP shells deal heavy damage per salvo
• Main battery shells have high armor penetration capabilities
• Long firing range

Cons

• Low firing accuracy
• Low maneuverability
