Dresden — German Tech Tree Tier I Cruiser.

A typical German protected cruiser of the early 20th century. Dresden could serve as a scout or raider, or cover a ship squadron from enemy destroyers. She could boast a high speed for her time and very good armor protection. Compared with the majority of her contemporary enemy cruisers, she was fitted with numerous, yet less efficient guns.

Entered Service: 1908
Ships in a series: 2

Ship Traits
Reloader: Above average main battery reload time.	Modest Guns: The ship is armed with low-caliber main battery guns.

Player Opinion

Pros:

• On the fast side for Tier I cruiser.
• Given her rate of fire and gun count, she can machine-gun everything

Cons:

• HE shells do extremely small amounts of damage and AP is practically worthless.
• High shell arc.
