Player Opinion

Cruiser - Devonshire

Pros:

• Good set of consumables
• Decent concealement
• Good firing arcs and turret traverse for a heavy cruiser
• The 25mm side armor can bounce some battleship AP

Cons:

• AP lacks the punch of other nations
• Slow reload for a cruiser
• High freebord makes her an easy target
