The same as above but with two twin turrets with 380 mm guns.The main armament consisted of two triple turrets with 283 mm guns A 26 000 tons design with Diesel engines generating 120 000 SHP and allowing the ship to reach 31 knots.The goal was to create a ship meant to deal with cruisers and destroyers thanks to its stronger armament and armor while being able to outrun battleships thanks to its speed. However, in 1941, the Kriegsmarine decided to dust off the canceled P-class, modify the design and call it Handelszerstörer. While three O-class battlecruisers were ordered, their construction never actually started, partially due to a lack of materials and the fact that shipyards were busy printing U-boats. This series of designs emerged from the previously canceled P-class (which was a larger version of the Deutschland-class) and the O-class (that we know in the game as Siegfried and if we want to be generous, we can also count Aegir) battlecruisers.

Schill is based on the “Handelszerstörer” (trade destroyer) designs from 1941.
