Player Opinion

Cruiser - Mainz

Pros:

  • Good main battery firing range
  • Great DPM for both AP and HE shells
  • High HE penetration and decent fire chance
  • Comfortable long range gunnery thanks to high shell velocity and flat arcs
  • Heavy torpedo armament of four quadruple launchers (two per side), great for close range combat
  • Turtleback armor scheme improves citadel protection at close range
  • Powerful AA suite



Cons:

  • Despite sharing the same hull, Mainz has thinner armor than Hipper
  • Poor main battery firing angles
  • Torpedoes are short-ranged
  • Lightly armored turrets can be disabled/destroyed easily
  • Low top speed
  • Poor concealment
