The King George V class, often abbreviated to the KGV-class in-game, is a battleship famous for its weapons arrangement. It sports three turrets, two of which are quadruple turrets containing four barrels each. This powerful-looking arrangement makes it a favourite among players wanting to look powerful, but experienced players know to avoid this class of ship for exactly the same reason.

It sports three turrets, two of which are quadruple turrets containing four barrels each. This powerful-looking arrangement makes it a favourite among players wanting to look powerful, but experienced players know to avoid this class of ship for exactly the same reason. Just as the official description reads below, if one of these quad turrets is disabled, then much of their firepower is lost - 40%, to be exact. If both of these guns are disabled, then a whopping 80% of the King George V's power is lost. Considering it sports the same kind of naval rifle as the New York class as well as the same number of them, players often opt for the New York-class instead of the King George if given the choice; however, the favourite battleship in duels, sans unlocks, is the South Dakota-class. | ||
The King George has a respectable anti-aircraft weapons arrangement, but it isn't as effective as the Renown | The King George has a respectable anti-aircraft weapons arrangement, but it isn't as effective as the Renown or the South Dakota. That said, the King George is capable of taking quite a beating, and even without its guns it is well renowned for being the ship that just won't sink. | ||
'''Official Description:''' ''These modern British battleships have very heavy armour, able to withstand all but the largest enemy guns, as well as enough firepower to sink any ship they come across. They could have had even heavier armament, but were built according to the restrictions of the Treaty of Washington, which restricted the maximum size of battleships that could be built. Their main weakness is the fact that their 14" main guns are mounted in just three turrets; if one of these malfunctions or is damaged then much of their firepower is lost. Only one ship of this class, the ''Prince of Wales'', is in the Pacific at this time.'' | '''Official Description:''' ''These modern British battleships have very heavy armour, able to withstand all but the largest enemy guns, as well as enough firepower to sink any ship they come across.
