Player Opinion

Pros:

• Citadel is deceptively difficult to penetrate properly from the sides, and can be over-penetrated easily.
• Solid main battery guns.
• Favorable firing angles allow all four turrets to be used without showing excessive broadside.
• High shell arcs for lobbing over islands.
• Powerful anti-aircraft suite; can easily shoot down enemy strike craft without Defensive AA Fire.
• Decent maneuverability.

Cons:

• Citadel is vulnerable to plunging fire.
• Light armor scheme means that AL Montpelier takes damage from incoming fire of nearly all calibers.
• Slow shell velocity and high arc; allows enemies time to maneuver and evade incoming fire.
• Medium-range anti-aircraft armament can be very easily destroyed by HE shells.
• Does not get access to torpedoes.
