Player Opinion

Battleship - Lyon

Pros:

• Decent top speed
• Sixteen main battery shells that can be devastating to destroyers, cruisers and some battleships
• The citadel is greatly protected
• Good handling
• Although they have standard range, secondary batteries have good fire-setting chances and reload quickly

Cons:

• Poor set of consumables
• Mediocre main turret configuration
• Terrible main gun accuracy mainly due to her low Sigma value
• Low HP pool
• Mediocre AA capabilities
• Abysmal torpedo damage reduction
