De Ruyter — Dutch Tier IV cruiser.

Based on the results of the work of a special commission, the development of a new cruiser began in the Netherlands in 1930. It was planned for the ship to join the fleet in the East Indies in addition to two already available ones. The project was developed by a German-Dutch company and had design features of German ships of that time. The cruiser was named after M. A. de Ruyter, one of the most esteemed Dutch Admirals. The ship was launched in October 1936 and sent to the East Indies the next year, where she stayed until the outbreak of World War II. In 1942, De Ruyter was the flagship of the allied squadron commanded by Admiral Karel Doorman.

De Ruyter is a Tier IV Royal Netherlands Navy light cruiser. She follows Java, improving certain aspects of her predecessor while keeping the overall flavor.

Just like her Tier III comrade, De Ruyter has no access to torpedoes and thus has to rely on gunpower alone. While she does loose 30% of the guns on paper, the favorable arrangement results in better overall firing angles, which when coupled with the much reduced reload time and good gun range offers solid damage dealing. On top of that, De Ruyter has access to the Spotting AircraftWhile active, a spotter plane circles the ship enhancing main battery firing range. consumable to boost her gun range further.

Where De Ruyter may feel like a downgrade is in terms of citadel protection. No longer featuring a turtleback, De Ruyter's chance of surviving AP salvos at close ranges is drastically reduced. To avoid this De Ruyter has to maintain an angle to threatening ships, and avoid taking hits.

As for the preferred playstyle, De Ruyter is best played at range, hitting targets with HE shells and avoiding return fire as much as possible. Close range engagements are to avoid at all cost, as De Ruyter lacks the effective means to dispose of threats quickly.

Pros:

  • Accurate guns.
  • Box shaped citadel in combination with a 30mm strong citadel roof makes De Ruyter less prone to citadel hits when at an angle.
  • Sufficient main battery firing range
  • Above average Alpha per salvo
  • 10% torpedo damage reduction
  • Access to Spotting AircraftWhile active, a spotter plane circles the ship enhancing main battery firing range. allows for a temporarily boosted gun range
  • Good firing angles

Cons:

  • Lacks torpedoes, unlike other same tier counterparts.
  • Citadel extends above the waterline and covers ~75% of the ship's length
  • Above average reload time for the main armament
  • Worse than average concealment
  • Sluggish in handling

Researchable module upgrades for De Ruyter:

  • Hull: Upgrade to Hull (B) for more health and improved AA and maneuverability. Research of this module unlocks progression to V Celebes.
