Player Opinion


Pros:

  • Excellent armor scheme for a cruiser; covered in 30mm plating. Battleships armed with 428mm main batteries and below will struggle to damage the ship when properly angled
  • Access to an improved version of the Repair PartyLegends_Repair_Party.pngconsumable
  • Highly flexible ship; carries a great set of consumables and can swap Smoke GeneratorLegends_Smoke_Generator.pngfor Surveillance RadarLegends_Surveillance_Radar.png
  • Good maneuverability



Cons:

  • Lacks HE shells
  • Really only effective against lighter enemy units, such as destroyers and other cruisers. Edinburgh barely registers as a threat to enemy battleships
  • Lightly-armored turrets and fragile AA guns are incapacitated more frequently than many of her contemporaries
  • Very few torpedoes per side
  • Poor main battery firing angles


Performance

Changes

May 2020
