Player Opinion

Cruiser - AL Cheshire

Pros:

• Large HP pool
• Great main battery parameters
• Excellent AA suite, which can become even better with the use of the Defensive AA Fireconsumable
• Good concealment

Cons:

• Only six guns with a lengthy reload; poor DPM
• Huge citadel block that rises well above the waterline which is also stepped, making it easier to citadel it from multiple angles
