World of Warships - First Look: Tier IX Premium German Battleship Pommern
299Here's our First Look at Tier IX Premium German battleship Ludendorff (now called Pommern). She is basically a weird amalgam of Tirpitz, Friedrich, and Kurfurst. She brings Tirpitz's guns and torpedoes on to Friedrich's hull in Kurfurst's turret layout. Most of the important bits she inherits from the H-class hull that Friedrich is built on: armor scheme, detection, handling, etc. But the guns and torpedoes are all Tirpitz, while the dispersion and shell quantity is all Kurfurst. I think she might be a ton of fun to play, especially as a secondary meme boat.
FROM WARGAMING:
Ludendorff in her concept is does not stray far from the classical gameplay characteristics that are unique to German battleships. The ship is equipped with 12 380mm guns and has all the main advantages of her compatriots:
+ Her trademark German hull armor grants effective protection from enemy fire;
+ "Hydroacoustic Search" consumable will help to withstand torpedo attacks.
+ Powerful secondaries and torpedo armament will be an unpleasant surprise for enemy warships in close-range combat.
