Player Opinion

Cruiser - Indianapolis B

Pros:

• Very long ranged surveillance radar; longer range than either Atlanta or Baltimore
• Strong gun ballistics with hard hitting shells that other cruisers and broadside battleships should be wary of

Cons:

• Large target with terrible broadside, zero torpedo protection and a prominent citadel
• Guns are the same triple turrets from Pensacola
