 After the war, ''Prinz Eugen'' was later awarded to the United States as reparation. The US Navy subsequently conducted extensive examinations on various German machinery. After which, ''Prinz Eugen''<nowiki/>'s career literally ended with a bang when she was used as one of the targets for the Operation Crossroads nuclear tests in 1946.
-Introduced in [[Update 1.95 "Northern Wind"]], the '''{{PAGENAME}}''' is perhaps one of the most famous cruisers of World War II. Compared to her sister ship, ''[[Admiral Hipper]]'', ''Eugen'' is in her final 1945 configuration with a substantial increase in AA firepower and crew count. This is effectively a double-edged sword; on one hand, she is more survivable than her sister ship and better protected against aircraft, while on the other hand, her large amounts of AA mounts mean that she will frequently catch fire whenever hit. Aside from this, ''Eugen'' is largely the same as ''Hipper'' in playstyle, being an all-around heavy cruiser with a particular focus on her high-velocity 8-inch guns, capable of engaging any targets she could face.
+The '''{{PAGENAME}}''' was introduced as a premium pack in [[Update 1.95 "Northern Wind"]]and was removed from the store after the [[wt:en/news/8880-shop-may-sale-in-the-gaijin-store-en|2024 May sales]].

 The {{PAGENAME}}'s primary armaments consists of eight 203 mm/60 SK C/34 cannons arranged in four twin turrets mounted A-Bs-Xs-Y. The gun is notable for being effective at dealing damage to all kinds of targets save for battleship at ranges. The gun has a good reload time of 12 seconds (ace crew) and has a decent firing arc, giving the {{PAGENAME}} a consistent damage output against enemy ships.
-The 203 mm guns has three shell choice; an average HE shell with 8.8 kg of TNT, a SAP shell with decent penetration (160 mm at 10 km) and sizeable filler of 5.35 kg of TNT, and a powerful APCBC shell which have very high penetration (265 mm at 10 km), this allows the {{PAGENAME}} to deal damage against heavily-armoured dreadnoughts up close, and especially deadly at closer range against any targets. As each shell have a high velocity of 925 m/s, this results into good accuracy and thus make aiming easier.

 The '''{{PAGENAME}}''' was the third of the ''[[Admiral Hipper (Family)|Admiral Hipper]]''-class heavy cruisers and the last to be completed by the Kriegsmarine. She was ordered from the Krupp Germaniawerft shipyard in Kiel and was laid down on 23 April 1936 as part of the German rearmament programme following the Anglo-German Naval Agreement a year prior, and was later launched on 22 August 1938.
-After being commissioned in 1940 and patrolling around the Atlantic alongside the battleship ''Bismarck'' in early May 1941, ''Prinz Eugen'' would take part in her most famous engagements in the Battle of the Denmark Strait later that month, in which the pair managed to sink the British flagship [[HMS Hood|HMS ''Hood'']] and damage the battleship ''Prince of Wales''. However, ''Eugen'' suffered a fuel tank leak and was forced to part ways with ''Bismarck'', leaving the latter to her demise a few days later. After emergency repairs and problems with her engines and turbine, ''Prinz Eugen'' was ordered to be docked in Brest, occupied France, for extensive repair. After spending half a year in Brest and being the target of frequent air raids by the RAF, ''Prinz Eugen'', along with battleship ''Scharnhorst'' and ''Gneisenau,'' was ordered to break through the English Channel in January 1942. The next month, ''Eugen''<nowiki/>'s stern was struck by a torpedo from the submarine HMS ''Trident'', resulting in extensive damage to the rudder. After completing her repair in 1943, ''Prinz Eugen'' was sent to the Baltic Sea to provide fire support for the retreating German army on the Eastern Front, which she did until the German capitulation in 1945. She and ''[[Nürnberg]]'' were the only German bluewater warships to survive the war intact.

 These cannons are great for taking out destroyers, as they have a good rate of fire and damage output. They also makes decent anti-air guns for high altitude bombers, though not particularly reliable they will definitely make bomb drops harder to pull off. Depending on which target you want to focus on you may load different shells: HE shells for destroyers and other smaller vessels, time-fused HE for anti-air duties if there are a lot of bombers in the sky, and APHE for well-armoured destroyers. You can take manual control of the secondary guns (alt+2 by default), making them more effective and giving you the ability to change the shells depending on the situation you are in. However, this will leave you vulnerable to other cruisers because you will be focusing most of your attention on other vehicles, so it may be better to level up your AI gunners and leave the job to them, while you focus on other cruisers or destroyers with your powerful main guns.

 The Prinz Eugen is covered with 40 mm and 20 mm AA guns, boasting an overall much more effective defence than her sister ship the [[Admiral Hipper]]. These guns easily protect the ship from close-range air assaults, while the 105 mm secondary guns will make sure high altitude bombers think twice before presenting themselves as an easy target, though they lack the proximity-fused shells sported by American and British heavy AA guns. It is best to aim the guns yourself if they are coming in from high altitude because most strategic bombers can't manoeuvre very well, making them easy to lead and aim at. The 40 mm and 20 mm autocannons are also great at wiping out torpedo boats and other small vessels. Since they often carry torpedoes that can knock out or critically damage you, the wall of autocannon fire will make those torpedo boats think twice before rushing you, allowing you to focus more on the main target like other cruisers or destroyers.

 Located amidships is a single catapult for an Arado Ar 196 scout plane which provides unique offensive and defensive abilities, expanding tactical options. Ship-launched scout planes fly just like regular tree units but lack munition choices and cockpit views. Alongside the typical abilities of strafing, dropping 2 x 50 kg bombs, and capping zones, the Ar 196 and other scout planes have the added ability to lay down smoke cover (up to 3 times). It is essentially the [[Ar 196 A-3|event aircraft]] except with smoke generators, so it will be a familiar unit for those who have the event version. Captains will be wise to remember to utilise the aircraft and consider when best to use it, for example to cap a point early or late in the match, to create a smoke screen to stymie enemy bombardment and repair, to attack enemy units directly, or perhaps something completely new!
