Strong secondary armament with improved dispersion and HE penetration.Better firing angles than Grosser Kurfürst.457 mm guns that can overmatch 30 mm plating.She also doesn’t have a torpedo armament.Īlso, compared to Kurfürst, Preussen is using more modern tri-axial 128 mm secondary mounts as well as 30 mm AA guns. In the case of Preussen, while her displacement is well below that of H-42, in terms of dimensions, she is sitting between H-42 and H-43 with the main battery being brought down to 457 mm guns (fictional guns from Wargaming. In total, 3 different designs, H-42 to H-44, would come to be with displacements ranging from 90 000 tons to 131 000 tons and a main battery of eight 480 mm guns or 508 mm guns. No traditional slipway would be able to handle a ship of that size anyway. Their purpose was to determine what would be big enough to counter whatever the Allies might throw at them. In action, no sane person ever considered these designs as anything else than conjecture. With the H-41 design finalized, he actually decided to request something even larger with no tonnage limitation. In 1941, Uncle Adolf declared that his naval engineers didn’t go deep enough with the H-class. Just like the Grosser Kurfürst, the Preussen is based on the various German H-class battleship designs, specifically H-42 and H-43. The ship herself can only be obtained after researching and purchasing it in the tech tree.Īs for the Grosser Kurfürst, she will cost 256 000 coal in the Armory.
