Player Opinion

Cruiser - Königsberg

Pros:

• Good handling characteristics.
• Good main battery firing range.
• Shell arc is relatively flat at medium ranges, making it a easier to land hits.
• Surprising AP damage that can citadel cruisers above her Tier if the shots are aimed correctly.
• Long Sonarrange.
• Very flexible torpedo arrangement, similar to early American destroyers.
• Rear turrets can rotate 360° which makes keeping all barrels on target easier while maneuvering.

Cons:

• Very large citadel makes it hideously vulnerable to battleships.
• A-XY turret arrangement can be finicky and requires some time to adapt to.
• Low fire chance of HE shells is problematic against battleships.
• Poor armor means modules are easily incapacitated.
• Slow turret traverse time.
