Nürnberg — German Tier VI cruiser.

The ship was developed from the Königsberg-class cruisers. In contrast to her predecessors, she had larger dimensions and featured reinforced turret armor. Moreover, she retained the main battery guns with their high performance characteristics. The cruiser's AA defense comprised numerous anti-aircraft guns.

Touted as a rival to the likes of Budyonny and Dallas at Tier VI, Nürnberg is a linear upgrade from her predecessor, Königsberg.

Players familiar with Königsberg will adapt to Nürnberg quickly while noting several improvements. For starters, her guns reload faster, dropping from 7.5 seconds to 6 seconds between salvos. She is laid out almost identically, though Nürnberg’s stern turrets rests along the ship's centerline as opposed to Königsberg’s offset stern turrets. She retains the same above-average range — 16.5 km — as well as the torpedo layout of Königsberg, with two triple-tube launchers on each side of the ship.

Nürnberg’s strengths are many, but so are her weaknesses. While captains may be used to it by the time they reach Nürnberg, her turret layout is still somewhat awkward and she has barely any armor at all, except for a small part near her stern where she has around 100mm of armor (which is grossly inadequate) . Battleships can citadel her with ease at virtually all angles, and enemy heavy cruisers — such as Aoba or Molotov — salivate at the thought of catching a Nürnberg broadside with AP rounds in their barrels.

Her weaknesses aren't limited to just horrible armor. The high explosive rounds, although having 1/4 penetration instead of 1/6 of her 152mm guns, has anemic alpha damage, with each penetrating shot landing less than 700 damage. The easiest way to counter the Nürnberg is simply to bow-tank; she'll land hardly any damage against angled targets. Ships with good back gun firing angles such as the Dallas or the Pensacola will rip her apart with a hail of HE. It is only when firing AP upon broadside targets that she can actively contribute to the team, otherwise she will be a focus-fire magnet. Hiding behind islands and using AP or her torpedoes is an effective way to play Nürnberg. Playing her well requires careful positioning and extremely good situational awareness; Nürnberg is not a ship that one can put into a risky situation and live to fight another day. She'll reward cautious play, but will fold quickly under concentrated enemy fire.

Pros:

  • Same impressive range as her predecessor.
  • Good gun handling and shell speed, coupled with the German version of Hydroacoustic SearchWhile active, detects all enemy ships and torpedoes within the specified radius, without regard of obstacles such as smoke and terrain., makes her an ideal anti-destroyer ship.
  • Guns reload every 6 seconds, far faster than her peers at Tier VI.
  • Low shell arc and high muzzle velocity.
  • Same surprising AP damage when it punches through.
  • Like Königsberg, the X and Y turrets can rotate 360 degrees, making switching firing sides a snap.
  • Extremely good turning radius with speedy rudder shift time.

Cons:

  • Although the AP damage is high, the penetration is relatively poor
  • Handling feels like a Tier V Königsberg.
  • AA suite, despite being better, will still struggle to shoot down many airplanes unless Defensive AA FireWhile active, the damage per second of large caliber anti-aircraft guns is increased. is active.
  • Same citadel layout and A-XY turret layout as her predecessor.
  • Still very little armor, making modules vulnerable to incapacitations and devastating citadel hits.
  • Poor AA options since the removal of Hull C

Research

Availability of researchable upgrades for Nürnberg is as follows:

  • Hull: Upgrade to Hull (B) for additional health, a sliver more AA, and a improved rudder shift time. Research of Hull (B) unlocks progression to Yorck.
  • Gun Fire Control System: Upgrade to FKS Typ 6 mod. 2 for an extra 10% range on the main battery.
Hull (B) should be a priority, as Nürnberg needs all the health she can get.

Optimal Configuration

Upgrades

The recommended upgrades for Nürnberg are as follows:

Commander Skills

Being mainly an anti-DD or light cruiser ship, key skills for Nürnberg commanders include Priority Target, Adrenaline Rush and Concealment Expert.

Consumables

Nürnberg can equip the following consumables:

Hydroacoustic Search is strongly recommended in Slot 2 to defend against DD torps.

Signals

Recommended combat flags include Victor Lima (+1% chance of causing a fire for bombs and shells with a caliber above 160mm / +0.5% chance of causing a fire for bombs and shells with a caliber below 160mm. / +4% chance of causing flooding.), India X-Ray (+1% chance of causing a fire for bombs and shells with a caliber above 160mm. / +0.5% chance of causing a fire for bombs and shells with a caliber below 160mm. / +5% to the risk of your ship's magazine detonating.), Sierra Mike (+5% to the ship's maximum speed.), and November Foxtrot (-5% reload time on all consumables.). Captains who have upgraded to Hull (C) should also equip November Echo Setteseven (+5% continuous damage by all AA guns, +5% damage per second within the explosion radius of shells fired from medium- and long-range AA defenses.) to maximize their AA.


Note: Use of the Juliet Charlie signal makes detonation impossible.

Ship Change Log

See here for links to Update notes.

  • Available for testing by supertesters in the game starting from Update 0.5.0.1.

  • Update 0.5.2:
    • Experience earnings increased by 11%.
    • Credit earnings increased by 10%.
    • A new mechanism for calculating the damage and range of air defense fire was introduced , as a result, the characteristics of air defense guns were slightly changed.
    • When calculating the engine and magazines' protection from the fragmentation of HE, the angling of the armoring will be taken into account, result being the likelihood of the engine compartment being damaged by HE shells of 6" (152mm) and below dropped to zero.
    • As a temporary offer, it became possible to purchase and install a special New Year's permanent camouflage (after the camouflage was removed from sale, it remained with those players who purchased it).
  • Update 0.5.3.2:
    • Type 10 camouflage renamed to Type 12.
  • Update 0.5.6:
    • Added an alternative hull where the catapult gear and two torpedo tube mounts were removed but AA capabilities were significantly reinforced.

    • Deck armor increased from 16 to 25 mm.
  • Update 0.9.6:
    • The Nurnberg (C) hull module was removed from the game.
    • Compensation rules:
    • If players had already researched the module, they had the XP spent on the research returned as compensation.
    • If players had the removed module in their Inventory, they received compensation equal to the module's value in credits.
    • If players had the removed module mounted on the ship, they were replaced with the previous module and removed from the players' account. Players were compensated for the module in the form of credits.
    • If the replacement module was available in the players' Inventory, they received compensation for its value in credits.
    • If there was no replacement module available in players' Inventory, they received a replacement free of charge; if the module had not yet been researched, it was automatically researched.
