Conversely, Steering Gears Modification 2 is a strong option in the same slot for captains who prefer quicker rudder response. Concealment System Modification 1 is the most popular pick for Slot 5 in order to help curtail her large detection radius combined with a captain with the Level 4 skill Concealment Expert, her detectability range drops under 11.5 km. After that, captains have some critical choices to make. Virtually all builds of Prinz Eugen find themselves mounting Main Armaments Modification 1 in Slot 1 and Steering Gears Modification 1 in Slot 4. Slot 5: Concealment System Modification 1 *.Slot 2: Damage Control System Modification 1 *.The recommended upgrades for Prinz Eugen are as follows: Captains who enjoy playing Admiral Hipper will find Prinz Eugen to be enjoyable and comfortable to play captains who did not care for Hipper are advised to invest their money or doubloons elsewhere.Īs a Premium ship, Prinz Eugen has no module upgrades to research. Prinz Eugen brings a similar play style to that of her tech-tree sister, with a small trade-off in the more traditional cruiser-style stats of rate of fire and maneuverability in exchange for greater survivability. Unfortunately, her detection range is notably worse than that of Admiral Hipper (a full 0.7 km worse). This prevents it from being overmatched and further increases her survivability against enemy battleships. Eugen’s armor scheme is also slightly different than her sister's, the most notable difference being the angled section of her turtleback being 40mm thick versus Hipper’s 30mm. The torpedoes are the standard 6.0 km range, 13,700 damage G7a T1 torpedoes familiar to veterans of the German cruiser branch - mounted in two triple launchers per side just like Hipper - with fairly generous firing angles.ĭefensively, Prinz Eugen has a very strong anti-aircraft suite for her tier, similar to Hipper’s Hull (C), though her rudder responds more slowly. They have excellent range and relatively flat trajectories, but with only eight of them and a low fire chance they can sometimes seem inadequate against tougher enemies. Other than reload speed, the main battery rifles are the same between each ship.

Hipper boasts a faster main battery reload and improved maneuverability, while Prinz Eugen gains access to the Repair Party consumable, allowing her to gain a significant edge in survivability. Prinz Eugen very similar to her sister ship in the tech tree - Admiral Hipper.
