Player Opinion

Performance

Work in progress, the following advice and opinions are subject to change. In World of Warships, Royal Navy vessels are often characterized by their excellent ability to cause large amounts of alpha damage with their HE shells, and to start multiple damage over time fires. Excellent repair parties allow them to recover from serious damage and reengage the enemy. Goliath possesses all of these attributes, and is a good representant of British warships. Compared to her peers, the other tier 10 heavy cruisers, Zao and Hindenburg, Goliath has better HE performance, and survivability. However concealment of Goliath is average, she is outperformed by Zao. Goliath has a similar playstyle to the tier 9 Drake, requiring careful handling to make the most of her slow firing but hard hitting 234 mm main battery and their poor default range. Lacking a spotter plane, GFCS Mod 2 in slot 6 will be a common, although not obligatory, choice, increasing gun range to 19.5 km. The alternative, Main Battery Mod 3 will also be viable, for those who are comfortable taking greater risks and who wish to increase reload speeds. 2 x 4 Torpedo launchers, allow single and salvo launch, but they have unexceptional speed at 62 knots and range at 10 kilometres. AA performance is more than adequate, with a 5.8 km stock range, allowing Goliath to act as a competent air defence ally or to operate independently.

In summary, a typical British warship, boasting excellent and hard hitting main guns with very good HE performance, good recovery thanks to her repair party, but limited by her poor main battery range and reload, forcing owners to choose between two different playstyles.
