Supertest: German Battleship Prinz Eitel Friedrich
2 min readThe Mackensen class was the last class of battlecruisers to be built by Germany in World War I. The design initially called for seven ships, but three of them were redesigned as the Ersatz Yorck class. Of the four ships of the Mackensen class, Mackensen, Graf Spee, and Prinz Eitel Friedrich were launched, and Fürst Bismarck was not, but none were completed after wartime shipbuilding priorities were redirected towards U-boat and the ships were broken up in the early 1920s.
Prinz Eitel Friedrich will be a Tier VI Premium battleship in World of Warships and the following stats are listed without crew and upgrade modifiers but with best available modules. The stats are subject to change during the testing.

I really like the look of this one…
Commenting on this post here… that Surface Detectability range is REALLY good for a tier 6 ship. Holy cow. O.O
With Concealment Expert added on, you can get to 10.7km concealment! For any tier of battleship, that’s excellent. 😀 I hope that remains the same throughout! 🙂 Would be nice to have a sneaky tier 6 premium BB out there we can use. :3
This one will be great in the opps!
