While her individual high explosive shell performance looks uninspiring, it is deceptive she fires a dozen, highly accurate shells every 9.8 seconds. Combined with her rate of fire, this makes Hindenburg a potentially deadly opponent to almost any ship she faces. 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. 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. Hindenburg is essentially a better Roon, with more guns, more torpedoes, more anti-aircraft defenses, and more health. 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.
