KM Hindenburg CAs Line

Standard build

• Mid range damage farming kiting cruiser line. Improved HE pen and increased AP damage gives them solid damage output while the long range hydro and extra heal keeps these ships alive. Slow speed hurts their positioning ability
• This build is a standard DPS CA build that maximises concealment for maximum possible engagement control, while also buffing firepower in a reasonable way.
• You may swap SI for HAP or any other combination of skills that you might find useful. Hindenburg and Roon have 4 repairs by default and may not need the 5th charge.
• If you want a dedicated build for Königsberg or Nürnberg, refer to the Mainz build.
• Von Jütland is a decent captain for KM CAs due to his improved CS skill.
• If you don’t have the Spotter mod, use MAM1. If you don’t have the Hydro mod, use ERP.
• Applies to Yorck, Hipper, Prinz Eugen, Roon, Hindenburg and Clausewitz.

Clausewitz, Hindenburg, Roon

Damage build

• This build maximises damage output while still retaining some semblance of concealment for engagement control. You will have to play from a longer range compared to the standard build, and won’t be able to control your engagements as well.
• You can swap conceal for steering if you are fine with being spotted at all times and prefer being on the move.
• Von Jütland is a decent captain for KM CAs due to his improved GtG.
• If you don’t have the Spotter mod, use DCSM1. If you don’t have the Hydro mod, use ERP.
