Player Opinion

Cruiser - Caledon

Pros:

• 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 Partyconsumable, 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.
