The en-echelon arrangement allows all gun to be brought to broadside, while not requiring the longer, heavier and more expensive all-centerline superfiring turrets arrangement. This design is a compromise between superfiring turrets requested by Großadmiral Tirpitz, and the more traditional wing turret design. Like the Helgoland class battleships, the Kaisers carried 305mm rifles, but abandoned the unsuccessful hexagonal turret layout in favor of having three turrets mounted on the centerline and two offset turrets amidship. Drawing from the strengths of the preceding Nassau and Helgoland class battleships, German engineers had hoped to design a vessel capable of competing with the leading designs from the Royal Navy. In accordance with this new law, the Kaiser-class battleships were ordered to replace the aging Siegfried and Odin class coastal ships. In order to keep their fleet modern and capable of confronting the other naval powers of the world, Germany enacted the Second Naval Law which instituted that all capital ships had a life expectancy of twenty years. König Albert underway, date and location unknown.

Combined with her slow turret traverse, she is not good at flexing around the map, making planning ahead important, else captains can easily wind up well out of an engagement and unable to affect the outcome of a battle. This makes her particularly vulnerable to destroyers especially to unexpected torpedoes fired from stealth. It's good that her secondaries will discourage enemy destroyers, for like most low tier battleships König Albert is glacially slow and is not quick to respond to her rudder. Her secondary armament is quite strong, and can be buffed - via commander skills and upgrades - to a level that it is a serious deterrent to enemy destroyers trying to close in.

Her armor can reliably bounce 12-inch shells when angled and with over 40,000 hit points, she has a large advantage over her Tier III peers.

She has extremely tough armor and can take a beating from anything at her tier and even a tier above. However, her guns reload slower and she has shorter range being a tier lower, though, her guns are more than adequate. König Albert is very similar to her Tier IV sister Kaiser in that she has strong armor and strong guns.
