 <h4>Armor and Survivability</h4>
-Although her gun caliber makes her a heavy cruiser, ''{{#var:ship_name}}'''s armor scheme and health pool are more akin to those of a light cruiser. Her 25 mm extremities and 27 mm upper belt armor will only resist overmatch from the smallest battleship armor-piercing shells; cruiser-caliber or larger high explosive shells will have no problem doing damage everywhere. The 38 mm deck armor may bounce AP shells, but ''{{#var:ship_name}}'''s large superstructure means any incoming salvo is likely to do damage. Unlike the high-tier Spanish tech tree cruisers Andalucía and Castilla, ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' does not feature additional citadel protection in the form of an icebreaker bow or spaced armor plates. ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' captains should jealously guard their 34,500 base hit points — the ship is simply not designed to mitigate or recover incoming damage.

 <h4>Armament</h4>
-''{{#var:ship_name}}'' features an unorthodox main battery arrangement of seven 203 mm guns, housed in one triple turret forwards and two double turrets aft. Unfortunately, the front turret cannot point more than 40° to the rear, so firing all guns while kiting is a risky proposition. Her HE shells deal above average damage for a Tier VIII cruiser, and are particularly noteworthy for their high 17% base fire chance. On paper, ''{{#var:ship_name}}'''s AP shells are below average compared to her fellow heavy cruisers, featuring poor penetration, lackluster shell velocity, and middling damage. However, when used in burst-fire mode, the AP receives a +25% damage bonus, making them among the hardest hitting 203 mm AP shells in the game.

-Overall, ''{{#var:ship_name}}'''s low barrel count and mediocre reload of 11 seconds make her unsuited for sustained damage trading; in regular firing mode her damage per minute is among the worst at her tier. Resourceful captains will instead make use of the triple burst-fire to capitalize on opportunities, such as lighting multiple fires after a battleship has used its damage control, or delivering twenty-one high-alpha AP shells to punish an enemy cruiser showing broadside. When timed correctly, the outsized impact of three salvos in three seconds more than makes up for the subsequent 42 second reload.

-''{{#var:ship_name}}'''s main battery is supplemented by four triple torpedo launchers, two per side, with good firing arcs to both the front and the rear. The torpedoes themselves have a usable range of 8 km and a low detectability at 1.2 km, however they are slow at 59 knots and only do a little under 12,000 damage per hit. In practice, the fast 76 second reload makes them a spammable area-denial tool that synergizes well with ''{{#var:ship_name}}'''s excellent stealth, useful for discouraging the enemy from trying to push into spotting range. On the other hand, the four twin 105 mm secondary guns with a modest 6.6 km range are unlikely to turn many engagements in her favor.

 <h4>Concealment and Maneuverability</h4>
-Given her poor armor and survivability, ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' must rely on her outstanding stealth to turn engagements in her favor. With the Concealment System Modification 1 upgrade and Concealment Expert skill, the Spanish premium has a surface detection of 8.4 km, which will allow her to outspot almost any cruiser in her matchmaking range. In matches with few destroyers or submarines, captains can even assume a spotting role for their team. The lurking menace of an unspotted ''{{#var:ship_name}}'''s triple burst is a significant part of her battle impact — players should seek to preserve their stealth at all times.

-Unlike the highly mobile Spanish tech tree heavy cruisers, ''{{#var:ship_name}}'''s speed and maneuverability is middle of the pack for a Tier VIII cruiser. With a top speed of 33.5 knots and a rudder shift time of 9.2 seconds, there are few situations where her maneuverability gives her an advantage. Captains may wish to select the Outnumbered skill in order to situationally boost her top speed and the main battery accuracy.

 <h4>Anti-Aircraft suite and Anti-Submarine Warfare</h4>
 ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' is not a cruiser that is comfortable playing against aircraft carriers and submarines. Although the long range DPS of 101.5 and 4 flak at 5.2 km is passable for her class and the two charges of 7 km ASW drops are standard for her tier, the tactical disadvantage of being spotted outweighs any damage that ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' could do in return. Captains should be mindful not to patrol in areas where incidental plane spotting is likely; if a carrier turns its attention to ''{{#var:ship_name}}'', the player should seek to drag the engagement into open water and as far from enemy guns as possible.
-Against submarines, ''{{#var:ship_name}}'''s excellent aerial concealment is a major advantage. With the upgrade and skill, her 5.2 km detection at periscope depth is barely more than her 5 km Hydroacoustic Search range, making close-range periscope-stalking risky. That said, patient submariners willing to surface spot ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' from a safe distance will cause more than enough headaches for her captain, even if they don't succeed in doing direct damage. ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' players should adjust their positioning and decision-making in matches with large numbers of planes or submarines to avoid becoming the center of attention.
