The closer she gets, the better her armor scheme protects her from incoming fire. Like her sister Tirpitz, she is exceptionally difficult to land citadel hits against only long-range plunging fire has a good chance of doing so. Easily the most impressive thing about Bismarck is her survivability. Additionally, her handling is superb for a ship her size she's quick to respond to rudder commands, and her turning circle is better than that of Amagi. This creates a large radius around her which enemy units must respect or pay a hefty price.

It comes with a stock range of 7.6km, and with the right mix of modules and commander skills can be pushed to a range of over 11.0 km, farther than the range of a similarly-equipped Yamato. While her main battery may not look as impressive as that of Amagi, and doesn't have North Carolina’s range - or even her sister Tirpitz’s torpedoes - Bismarck has the perfect mix of ingredients to make her an excellent brawler.įor starters, her secondary battery is the most impressive of all the Tier VIII battleships.

The historical pinnacle of German battleship construction, Bismarck stands as one of the heartiest battleships at Tier VIII.
