Schill - German Tier VIII Premium Cruiser 1939

In the late 1930s the leadership of the German navy developed a project for a naval blockade of Great Britain using its raiding forces. The main striking force in this regard was to be 12 P-class ships, created on the basis of the development of the Deutschland-class pocket battleship. In 1939, contracts were signed with shipyards for the construction of these ships, but the order was subsequently cancelled in favour of the O-class battlecruiser. In the original documentation, this type of ship is indicated as Handelszerstörer - "raider".

Changes to  VIII Schill

• Bonus to main battery reload provided by the Main Battery Reload Booster consumable reduced: -67 to -50%.
• Replaced Fast Damage Control Team consumable with standard Damage Control Party consumable.
• Added Repair Party consumable with following parameters: (Action time - 28s, HP per second - 220, Reload time - 120s, Charges - 2, Citadel damage recovered - 10%)

After analysing the data and player feedback, WG have decided to increase the ship's survivability by introducing the Repair Party consumable. As this addition might cause Schill to overperform in battles, WG have changed other aspects of the ship accordingly.

 

Schill Commemorative Flag

In May 1809, hussar officer Ferdinand von Schill led a rebellion against the Napoleon's rule in German lands. He soon fell in an uneven fight, became a hero for all Germans, and inspired them to resume their struggle, which ended in success several years later.

• The ship has good HP pool and armor and a well-protected citadel, but bad concealment.
• The consumables are represented by "trademark" German Hydroacoustic search, Defensive AA Fire, and Fighter also Repair party, on different slots.
