Player Opinion

Pros:

• Outstanding main battery armament: her twelve 152mm rifles have an excellent rate of fire and turret traverse, as well as contributing to her AA defenses.
• Lots of long range torpedoes with better reload times than most other torpedo-armed cruisers at her tier.
• Excellent AA suite.
• Great set of consumables
• Good concealment.

Cons:

• Very weak armor; she can bounce 220mm rounds at certain angles, but will be easily penetrated by shells of a larger caliber.
• Huge citadel that rides quite high above the waterline; can be a shock to new players.
• Very high shell arcs, making it difficult to hit targets at long ranges.
• Somewhat sluggish due to her large size and long rudder shift time.

Performance

Changes

All in Black
