Player Opinion

Cruiser - Nürnberg

Pros:

• Good gun handling and shell speed, coupled with the German version of Sonar, makes her an ideal anti-destroyer ship.
• Guns reload every 6 seconds, far faster than her peers at Tier V.
• Low shell arc and high muzzle velocity.
• Same surprising AP damage when it punches through.
• Like its predecessor, the X and Y turrets can rotate 360 degrees, making switching firing sides a snap.

Cons:

• Although the AP damage is high, the penetration is relatively poor.
• Poor AA defenses.
• Same citadel layout and A-XY turret layout as her predecessor.
• Still very little armor, making modules vulnerable to incapacitations and devastating citadel hits.
