Prinz Rupprecht German Tier IX Battlecruiser 1944

A high-speed battleship project with eight 406 mm guns, which was a development of battlecruiser projects of WWI period.

 

Key Features:
The Tier VII-X battleships are based on designs developed in the late 1910s.
> The concept of the alternative branch of German battleships rests on short-range combat due to their low concealment, decent secondaries, and small number of main battery guns with a low range of fire.
> The ships are also armed with long-range torpedoes.
> A small number of main battery guns with low firing range.
> The availability of torpedoes with a high range.
> A large number of secondary guns with high accuracy.
> Low visibility.
> Availability of the "Hydroacoustic Search" consumable similar to that of German cruisers.
> Availability of the "Fast Damage Control Team"  similar to that of Soviet battleships.{alertInfo}
