World of Warships - First Look: Tier X German Battleship Preussen
Here's our First Look at Tier X German battleship Preussen. Replacing Grosser Kurfurst in the tech tree, Preussen brings German battleships something they've never had before: really large guns. Preussen's main battery clocks in at 457mm (18"), meaning that the Kriegsmarine will finally catch up to the USN (Vermont) the VMF (Kremlin) and the Royal Navy (Thunderer), bypassing the Marine Nationale (Republique) along the way. On top of that, the reload on these guns is silly good, as are the shell flight times and penetration values. Oh, and she still gets German secondaries. What else does she have going for her (as if that weren't enough)? Join me for a tour and let's find out.
