Player Opinion
Performance
Pros:
- Armament is comparable to Tier VII American cruiser Helena, but turret traverse is faster.
- Massive broadside firepower; landing most of an HE salvo on an enemy ship can do a significant amount of damage.
- Access to British-style Repair Party gives her excellent survivability for a Tier VII cruiser.
- Three rear facing turrets allows for effective kiting tactics.
- Good concealment.
- Quick rudder shift.
Cons:
- Weak broadside armor.
- Poor forward turret angles and high shell arcs.
- Slow for a Tier VII cruiser, with a large turning radius.
- Short main battery range (even shorter than Helena).
- Requires Inertia Fuse for High Explosive skill to make her guns truly effective against other cruisers and battleships.
- Has no torpedo protection.
- Slower main battery reload speed and weaker AA suite than Helena.
Research
Optimal Configuration
Upgrades
The recommended upgrades for Nueve de Julio are as follows:
- Slot 1: Auxiliary Armaments Modification 1
- Slot 2: Steering Gears Modification 1
- Slot 3: AA Guns Modification 2 ()
- Slot 4: Steering Gears Modification 2 *
Slot 4 provides two viable upgrade options. Most captains will find Steering Gears Modification 2 useful for increased maneuverability. Captains who prefer to use islands as cover will likely prefer Propulsion Modification 1 () in order to reposition more quickly, if spotted.
Commander Skills
Key skills for Nueve de Julio commanders include the regular set of skills for light cruisers; priority being on Inertia Fuse for High Explosive Shells and Concealment Expert. Superintendent is also valuable for the additional Repair Party consumable.

Consumables
Nueve de Julio can equip the following consumables:
- Slot 1: Damage Control Party
- Slot 2: Defensive AA Fire or Hydroacoustic Search
- Slot 3: Repair Party
Mounting premium versions of these consumables is recommended to decrease their cooldown timers. Nueve de Julio has the choice between the Defensive AA Fire and Hydroacoustic Search consumables. Defensive AA Fire is useful against enemy aircraft while Hydroacoustic Search can be used to screen for torpedoes or enemy ships in a nearby smokescreen. Captains should note that Nueve de Julio has access to a version of Repair Party that is similar to what is found on high-tier British cruisers; it can potentially return as much as 40% of her base health with a single use.
Camouflage
As a premium ship, Nueve de Julio comes included with Type 10 camouflage that lowers her detection radius, reduces the accuracy of incoming shells, reduces her repair costs, and increases the amount of experience she earns.
Signals
Nueve de Julio is a light cruiser, meaning that most cruiser signals will work for her. Players may want to use signals to boost the fire chance ( ), consumable cool down (), and heal amount (). As a premium ship, players may also want to use economic signals, but her nation limits captain training abilities.
