KM Hindenburg CAs Line

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

Lighthouse build

• Only recommended for experienced players who want to improve their damage output!!!
• This build maximises damage output by practically guaranteeing you will be spotted. Excellent damage farming potential, but lacks consistent early game impact unless you like playing risky.
  • Slot 5 SGM is a decent alternative to UU
  • Lutjens is easier to activate here as you should be firing almost all the time
• Lighthouse Hindy ideally baits enemies into shooting her, attracting attention while she burns everything down with HE. You aren’t going dark in this ship. Either you kill everyone, or you die trying. So get gud at dodging shots in this slug of a ship.
  • Only for Hindenburg and Clausewitz.
