While they are the same caliber as Grosser Kurfurst’s, the shells do less damage and have less penetration.
Schlieffen is armed with 8 420mm guns in 4 twin turrets, the same caliber that is found on Grosser Kurfurst’s upgraded guns. While players may be angled to incoming fire, the angles of the secondary mounts can cause small sections of armor to become broadside and easily penetrated by large cruisers and battleships. However, Schlieffen’s biggest issue with its armor are the 150mm mounts. Like Grosser Kurfurst and Kremlin, Schlieffen features a large 60mm ice breaker, which leaves little chance for shells to penetrate directly through the nose and bounces even the largest AP shells. Despite this, her 150mm upper main armor belt, which covers most of the ship’s side, resists penetration from smaller caliber shells and forces such ships to aim for her small superstructure to deal damage. Schlieffen has one of the lightest battleship side armor schemes at Tier X, including a relatively thin 350mm citadel belt. Schlieffen is well protected, with an underwater citadel, thick ice breaker, and access to Hydroacoustic Search to detect torpedoes. As the fastest Tier X battleship, with low detection, she can ambush enemies quickly. She is armed to the teeth with a heavy main battery, long range torpedoes, and one of the best secondary batteries in the game.
The design was intended to have a maximum speed of 30.5 knots and feature a strong 300mm main belt.Ī further development of Prinz Rupprecht, the Tier X Schlieffen is the best the German battlecruisers have to offer. The design was drawn up using lessons learned from the war, such as raising the fire control and rangefinder up onto the mast. She was designed to be armed with 4 twin 420mm turrets, 8 150mm guns in casemates with a single underwater torpedo tube on the bow. Schlieffen represents a small variation with a better armament of a modernized version of the design study GK 4542.
