Player Opinion
Cruiser - NeptunePros:
- 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.
