Community ContributionsPlayer Opinion
Cruiser - CaledonPros:
- Main battery guns traverse quickly enough to keep up with radical maneuvering.
- Two twin-tube torpedo launchers on each side.
- Has access to the Repair Party
consumable, long before the cruisers of other nations do.
Cons:
- Only five barrels with a mediocre rate of fire leaves Caledon badly under-gunned against opponents such as Bogatyr and St. Louis.
- Low health and armor combine to make Caledon very fragile under concentrated fire (Caledon's armor is so bad that it allows even destroyer AP to score citadel hits).
- Part of the citadel is exposed on the main deck (which is in fact pretty easy to be penetrated), allowing even HE Bombs to smash her citadel.
