Schill: Tier VIII German Premium Cruiser 1939

In the late 1930s, the German Navy High Command ordered the development of a project that was intended for use as part of a naval blockade of Great Britain by raider formations. Twelve P-class ships, created based on the development of the Deutschland-class panzerschiff (heavy cruiser) project, were supposed to act as the main strike force in this plan. In 1939, contracts were signed with dockyards for the construction of these ships, but the order was subsequently canceled in favor of O-class battlecruisers. The original documentation specified the ship class as Handelsstörer, or "Raider."

Schill

In May 0 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.

Key Features

• The cruiser is armed with six 283mm main battery guns with good accuracy and flat ballistics, but low damage per minute. Her AP shells deal high damage. Her HE shells have good armor penetration, but they deal low damage.
• 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.
