Unlike same tier counterparts however she has access to the 128mm secondary gun which can penetrate up to 32mm of armor, allowing them to also deal direct damage against battleships. Just like Scharnhorst and all the other high tier German battleships, Odin offers an impressive array of secondary guns. The handling of the main battery very much reflects that of Scharnhorst, only at a higher tier. However the low fire chance as well as a mediocre HE shell Alpha make this method rather inefficient in the long run. One option is to utilize HE shells, which thanks to their improved HE penetration will often be able to penetrate the plating of opposing ships.
Due to the overmatch mechanic Odin will also struggle to deal with angled cruisers. For example Odin's same tier counterpart Bismarck can penetrate the citadel belt of Yamato at ranges up to 15km, whereas Odin would have to close to 8.5km to achieve the same. The problem with such a small caliber is that the penetration compared to other battleship is noticably behind the curve. The smaller shells also mean that a lower fuze threshold results in less scenarios where a shell would strike an armor plate without arming. With a lower caliber comes with a fast reload, much faster than that of any Tier VIII battleship. The smaller gun size comes with a few advantages but also with disadvantages. Nine 305mm guns, distributed among three triple turrets, is comparable to supercruisers of a higher tier like Alaska or Kronshtadt. The main armament of Odin is very small for a battleship at that tier.
Odin is a German Tier VIII premium battleship.ĭespite being at the same tier as Tirpitz, Odin is better compared to Tier VII Scharnhorst due to their characteristics compared to same tier opponents.
