Player Opinion

Cruiser - Legate

Pros:

• Has battleship-caliber main guns despite being classed as a cruiser
• Powerful secondary guns
• Torpedoes are strong and fast, with wide firing angles
• Large HP pool for a cruiser
• Good set of consumables

Cons:

• Horrible firing angles, must sail near-broadside to unmask both main turrets
• Only three torpedoes per side of the ship with limited range
• Huge citadel block rises above the waterline, and nose and aft are only 25mm thick
• Like other Italian ships, Legate's AA defenses are poor
