Drake — British Tech Tree Tier VIII Cruiser.

The project of a warship designed in the late 1930s, which was to be able to effectively counter the latest German heavy cruisers. Superiority in firepower was achieved through the use of 9.2-inch (234 mm) main guns.


Year of Design: 1939

Ship Traits
Sequential: Torpedoes can be launched one by one.	Hidden: Good concealment means the ship can get closer to enemies before being detected.	Pyromania: Above average chance for HE shells to cause a fire.

Player Opinion

Pros:

• Good concealment for a ship of that size
• Hard hitting HE shells with high penetration and fire chance
• AP shells have high penetration values
• Decent AA suite

Cons:

• Main battery range of 15.6km leaves something to be desired
• Citadel extends noticeably above the waterline and runs from the A turret back to the C turret
• Poor firing angles, especially with her rear turret
• Very long main battery reload time
