Player Opinion

Cruiser - Graf Spee

Pros:

  • Largest HP pool of all Tier V cruisers
  • Largest guns of all Tier V cruisers with high AP penetration and damage, enough to be a threat to battleships
  • Excellent turret traverse speed for such large guns
  • Good torpedoes with good range and wide firing arcs
  • Very good torpedo protection for a cruiser
  • Good set of consumables



Cons:

  • Only six rifles in two turrets; poor DPM
  • Bad main battery firing angles (better when angling/kiting away)
  • Very poor reload time for a cruiser
  • Underwhelming HE performance; low damage and poor fire chance
  • Low top speed
  • Worst accuracy of all Tier V cruisers
  • Fires and floods last longer compared to standard cruisers
  • Thin plating makes her vulnerable to most higher tier battleships from overmatch
  • Torpedo launcher easily get incapacitated or destroyed when kitting
  • Vulnerable engine and rudder
