All Ships

 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.

Player Opinion

Cruiser - Dresden

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.
