Almirante Abreu — Pan-American special premium Tier II cruiser.

At the end of the 19th century, Brazil ordered a series of armored cruisers from Armstrong to strengthen its fleet. One was sold to Chile, and Spain sought to buy the other two to replenish its fleet after the losses incurred during the Spanish-American War, but the United States leapfrogged Spain. Almirante Abreu was laid down in 1897 and became part of the U.S. Navy under the name "Albany" in 1900. The cruiser participated in both World War I and the Philippine-American War. In 1920, she was reclassified as a gunboat and decommissioned two years later.

Player Opinion

Performance

Warning. The data presented in the AA Defense sidebar section may be incorrect.
For a graphic summary of ships Tiers VIII thru XI see LittleWhiteMouse's "Actual AA DPS".

Almirante Abreu has sub-par gun range, but that doesn't prevent her from being able to stand her ground when used well. She quite maneuverable and is best suited to a play style resembling that of American destroyers; that is, going around island in a bid to remain in cover and strike at the enemy that doesn't expect you. In the hands of a capable captain, this ship remains a respectable threat, being able to damage most ships of Tier II and III.

Pros:

Good damage per second out of her main battery.
Tight turning radius of only 350m.
March music instead of normal horn sounds.

Cons:

Top speed of only 20 knots.
Below average gun range

Research

As a premium ship, Almirante Abreu has no upgrades to research.
