HE shells do little damage and have low fire chance, which makes them ineffective.īayern has access to four Upgrade Slots as a Tier VI ship.Despite their caliber of 380 mm, the AP shells' damage is more similar to that of 356 mm/14 inch guns, than to other 15 inch guns.AP penetration value drops very significantly over distance due to her light shells.Slightly longer reload time than most German battleships.The stock World War I-era hull has very poor anti-aircraft defenses, making her largely defenseless against planes.Accuracy of her main battery guns is inferior to most other battleships and the low number of barrels results in low damage output, especially at range.NOTE: As of 0.10.3, the historical hull for Bayern has been removed.
At a glance, Bayern may not look like much compared to her peers, but she is a solidly-rounded ship with many strengths and few weaknesses. Her offensive armament rivals that of Tier VI premium battleship Warspite in terms of gun caliber and ballistics. Many players may want keep her real life stock hull configuration but take the risk of weak AA defense and lower healthpool.Protecting Bayern is an armor belt significantly stronger than her American colleague New Mexico and much stronger than Fuso, though like all dreadnoughts the deck armor is somewhat questionable. It is important to know that the upgrade hull is fictional but it is worth upgrading because it gives better defense against planes as well as more healthpool. Like the ships before her, Bayern is can do very well while brawling with other battleships, and can cause massive damage when positioned properly in a brawl. She represents the best of what the Kaiserliche Marine had ever wanted for their linienschiff dreadnoughts: tough-as-nails, good offensive power, and fast (for a dreadnought) she is very potent when compared to other battleships of her tier. The last Imperial German battleship, Bayern stands as the ultimate refinement of the dreadnought-type before the shift to the fast battleship. The data presented in the AA Defense sidebar section may be incorrect.įor a graphic summary of ships Tiers VIII thru XI see LittleWhiteMouse's "Actual AA DPS".
