While the fire chance and penetration is decent, the Alpha strike makes it an inefficient tool over prolonged periods of time. Unfortunately Ägir's HE shells leave a lot to be desired. Beyond that normal penetrations can still be achieved by shooting the upper belt, inflicting serious, but not devastating damage. Against battleships however the usage of AP shells against the main belt is only viable at ranges up to 10km. With decent AP penetration and high Alpha strike, coupled with good accuracy, Ägir can hit broadside targets at most ranges and inflict heavy damage in particular on cruisers. In terms of gunnery Ägir offers a strong AP performance. The Repair Party does not hold any advantages or disadvantages over the competition.

To add on top, Ägir has the strongest torpedo defense of any super-cruiser at her tier. Ägir's health pool sits comfortably at 62,850, which is comparing favorably against most of her competition. Behind the main armor belt sits an 80mm turtleback, which adds to Ägir's citadel protection especially at closer ranges. République (431 mm), Georgia, Vermont, Ohio, Kremlin, Preussen, Thunderer (all 457 mm), Musashi, Yamato, ARP Yamato (all 460 mm), Incomparable (508 mm), and Shikishima (510 mm)) can overmatch the deck. The weather deck, while still superior to all same tier counterparts minus Alaska, sits only at 30mm which means that Ägir can only bounce certain battleships’ AP shells while any shell larger than 430mm (e.g. So not only is the side protected around the waterline by a 190mm belt, but there is also a 90mm upper belt that is highly resilient against incoming HE fire and can be used to bounce any AP shell coming at Ägir.

Similarly to her half-sister, Siegfried, Ägir has a distributed armor scheme that covers the entire midsection. Ägir's survivability starts off with her armor scheme. Ägir is a Tier IX German super-cruiser and takes the spot of being one of the two first German Tier IX Premiums introduced into World of Warships.
