With a concealment of 12.24, there is very little a spotted enemy can do to escape the secondary battery after Prinz Rupprecht has been spotted. The secondaries have a maximum range of 12.02km. Sixteen (16) twin guns are mounted on each side of the ship consisting of six (6) 150mm casemate guns and ten (10) 105mm mounts. To aid the main battery, Prinz Rupprecht has an improved secondary battery. Though capable against cruisers, Prinz Rupprecht often must get close to other battleships for AP to be effective. However, she pays for this with poor AP shell penetration. The sigma is an underwhelming 1.7 but Prinz Rupprecht benefits from having battlecruiser dispersion, making her one of the more accurate battleships at the tier.

They have an upgraded range of 18.8km and can be further upgraded to 21.81km. Following the rest of the line, she has a standard reload time of 30 seconds that can be reduced to 26.4 seconds with the use of Main Battery Modification 3. Prinz Rupprecht is equipped with eight (8) 406mm guns mounted in four (4) turrets. The superstructure has the standard 19mm plating, allowing small caliber shells to damage Prinz Rupprecht. The main armor belt is divided into three (3) main sections: a 300mm belt below the waterline, a 220mm belt from the waterline to halfway up the ship, and a lighter 150mm belt where the secondary casemates are mounted. Unfortunately, this means that ships with a caliber of 406mm or higher, including herself, can overmatch the upper section of her bow and penetrate the athwartships. Prinz Rupprecht has 27mm fore and aft end plating, with a lower 30mm fore end armor belt.

Prinz Rupprecht is one of the fastest battleships at the tier, as well as having one of the lowest concealments of the tier, making her an extremely powerful close range battleship. She is a comfortable upgrade over Zieten and features a fourth twin 406mm turret, a stronger armor layout, and better secondaries. Prinz Rupprecht is the Tier IX battlecruiser in the German battlecruiser tech tree. The design was intended to have a maximum speed of 30.5 knots and feature a strong 300mm main belt. The designs were drawn up using lessons learned from the war, such as raising the fire control and rangefinder up onto the mast. Prinz Rupprecht, however, features 406mm (16”) guns and only six 150mm casemate guns. GK 4541 was designed with 419mm (16.5”) guns and eight 150mm casemate guns. Prinz Rupprecht represents a slight variation of the battlecruiser design GK 4541.
