Hindenburg — German Tier X cruiser.

The ship was developed from a series of German heavy cruisers. Unlike ships of preceding classes, she boasted an increased displacement and more powerful main battery guns.

Performance
Settling in to play Hindenburg at Tier X will feel good to veterans of the branch who took the time to play the previous tier's Roon and get comfortable in her. Hindenburg is essentially a better Roon, with more guns, more torpedoes, more anti-aircraft defenses, and more health.

Sporting more main battery rifles than all other Tier X cruisers save the Japanese Zao and Italian Venezia, Hindenburg is gifted with a balanced 4x3 turret layout: turrets "Anton" and "Bruno" are forward of the superstructure, while "Caesar" and "Dora" are aft of it. This gives Hindenburg captains the flexibility to put all twelve barrels on a single target as necessary, or to present enemies with a significantly narrower profile to shoot and still keep half her main battery in action. Combined with her rate of fire, this makes Hindenburg a potentially deadly opponent to almost any ship she faces. While her individual high explosive shell performance looks uninspiring, it is deceptive; she fires a dozen, highly accurate shells every 9.8 seconds. They produce a prodigious number of fires and rack up solid penetration damage thanks to German HE shells penetrating enemy armor thicknesses 1/4 of their diameter and below (as opposed to most other cruisers' 1/6th diameter and below). Enemy ships who make the mistake of presenting a broadside profile to Hindenburg should be prepared to pay the price; her armor piercing shells have good penetration values and extremely high damage. Salvos of 10,000 damage or more against enemy battleships at mid-range or closer are not uncommon if they opt to disrespect the power of Hindenburg’s AP rounds.

Aside from her damage output, Hindenburg is a virtual Swiss Army knife of tools that allow her to contribute to her team's success in other ways. Her anti-aircraft suite is solid; captains who opt for an Anti-Aircraft Build and find themselves facing off against an enemy aircraft carrier are sure to watch enemy planes fall from the sky with glee. She is fairly robust, with an armor scheme that leaves her vulnerable at long range, but able to take more punishment than might be expected as she closes with the enemy; her Repair Party (While active, restores a percentage of the ship's health points each second.) furthers her longevity. Her torpedo armament packs a serious wallop: Hindenburg loves to brawl with her enemies when given the chance, and her torpedoes frequently mean that she is the one sailing away afterwards, even from a point-blank engagement with an enemy battleship. Last — but not least — she can equip the best Hydroacoustic Search (While active, detects all enemy ships and torpedoes within the specified radius, without regard of obstacles such as smoke and terrain.) in the game, capable of spotting incoming torpedoes more than four kilometers away, and detecting enemy ships at nearly six kilometers.

On the downside, Hindenburg has a staggering base detection radius of 15.5 kilometers; even when fully-rigged for stealth, the lowest detection radius she can achieve is 12.6km. This is noteworthy in that there are some Tier X battleships capable of fitting out with an even lower detection radius. Further compounding her detectability issues is her armor scheme's vulnerability to long-range plunging fire. Shells landing on her deck from directly above (or nearly so) will easily penetrate her thin deck armor and cause extreme damage. Hindenburg is most vulnerable to large amounts of incoming damage when at long range. She shines brightest in mid- and short-range engagements, but may struggle to get into those on occasion given her slow top speed (worst among Tier X cruisers) and high detection.

Viewed as a complete package, Hindenburg is the epitome of what a Tier X cruiser should be: she doesn't excel at any one thing, but does enough things well that she is capable of contributing to her team in any situation she might find herself in. Game after game, Hindenburg will provide her captain all the tools they need to win; it's up to that captain to employ those tools correctly to ensure victory.
