Her reload speed prevents her from being able to return fire quickly at faster threats such as destroyers. Her turret traverse is subpar for this tier, and her reload is atrocious, almost getting the unwanted title of having the worst reload time in her tier. The AP shell penetration is so anemic that the shells cannot even penetrate broadside battleships' torpedo belts at range. These shells cannot overmatch cruiser bows or deal with enemy battleship plating unlike those of Kongo and New York. Unlike the German battleships, Agincourt's AP is no saving grace. The only good thing about her HE is her fires per minute, although this is due to her heavy broadside more than anything else. Her HE alpha damage is anemic: even HE hits that manage to penetrate will deal less damage from those on Tier III IJN Kawachi. Agincourt's HE penetration, although better when compared to her counterparts from other nations, is underwhelming for a Royal Navy battleship, with only 76mm of penetration due to her undersized 305mm guns, which are almost peashooters for a battleship of this tier. Those shells which do hit will often result in overpens or shatters. Like Russian battleships, when firing at targets at range (which Agincourt does not have much of anyway), even the best-aimed of shots can result in a bracket, with all 14 shells falling to the left and right of the target. Although Agincourt has 14 guns, captains will find that the large number of guns is not even sufficient to help keep the damage coming due to her horrible dispersion. Her offensive capabilities are definitely not due to her main battery. The challenge lies in having the situational awareness of knowing when to push into a brawl, otherwise this ship's hit points will disappear in a puff of smoke or, more likely, a huge explosion. She performs better in brawls or even jousts, where the glaring inaccuracy of her main battery is not as visible and where her powerful secondary battery can help pump out more damage. She is hard to play at range, with her main battery quite drastically falling behind most other same-tier battleships. The Tier V battleship Agincourt is a ship with high risk-reward.
