World of Warships - First Look: Tier VIII German Battleship Zieten

Here's our First Look at Tier VIII German battleship Zieten. Continuing to build on some of the additions we saw with Tier VII's Prinz Heinrich, Zieten shoots off in an entirely new directly by suddenly up-sizing to 406mm guns. It's her turret configuration that will raise eyebrows, though; Zieten appears to be some bizarro love-child of Nürnberg, Admiral Graf Spee, and Friedrich der Große. She's stoutly armored with a decent amount of speed, but fighting her gun layout is likely to be a common gripe of driving this ship. Let's see what else she has going on in that hull.
