Player Opinion

Cruiser - Edinburgh

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 Partyconsumable
• Highly flexible ship; carries a great set of consumables and can swap Smoke Generatorfor Surveillance Radar
• 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
