Special

Huanghe — Pan-Asian special premium Tier VI cruiser.

A British light cruiser (HMS Aurora) intended to carry out close reconnaissance and counter-destroyer missions. In 1948, the ship was transferred to an east Asian nation. In the early 1950s, a plan was drawn up for the refurbishment of the cruiser by replacing her weapons and equipment with Soviet-made models, but this plan didn't follow through and she served her final years as a barracks ship.

Huanghe is very much comparable to another Tier VI cruiser with a similar Smoke Generator  consumable: HMAS Perth. However, there are some very key differences between the two. Huanghe only has three turrets to Perth’s four, but gains better shell characteristics, 0.4 kilometers more main battery range, and a faster main battery reload (by half a second).

Playing Huanghe should be familiar to Perth veterans, as they both have the same creeping smoke screen thanks to a unique Smoke Generator  consumable that operates on a principle different from that found on other ships. While other smokes have a relatively short activation time when laying down the screen itself, the Huanghe’s smoke activation timer lasts for 90 seconds. However, each 'puff' of smoke only lasts for 10 seconds, dissipating soon after having been lain. When moving at less than 12.5 knots, it is possible to stay hidden in the smoke even while creeping in one direction or another.

It should also be noted that Huanghe has the lowest detection of any Tier VI cruiser, and is the only one with a sub-10.0 km base detection range currently. Having this is good news for the ship, as she needs all the advantages afforded by this low detectability and the unique smoke. This is because she also has the lowest health pool for cruisers at the tier, an "honor" previously afforded to Nürnberg. With only six guns total, she is also somewhat under-gunned for her tier, and she even has one less torpedo per broadside than Perth (with only three in each mount compared to Perth’s four). These three torpedoes also do less individual damage than Perth’s, though they do reload faster. Huanghe also gets a choice between mounting the Hydroacoustic Search 

and Torpedo Reload Booster 

consumables, making her the first non-destroyer class ship to gain access to the latter.

Can mount both Hydroacoustic Search  and Smoke Generator  simultaneously. Additionally, Torpedo Reload Booster  can be taken in place of Hydroacoustic Search.
The Smoke Generator  consumable functions similarly to that on Perth. This allows the ship to move at low speeds while remaining concealed within a smoke cloud.
Her quick rudder shift time combined with her small turning circle allow her to dodge long range fire easier than most cruisers.
Good mid-range torpedoes with wide firing angles.
Anti-aircraft armament is strong for her tier.
Lowest surface and air detection ranges of all Tier VI cruisers.

Has the lowest amount of hit points of all Tier VI cruisers.
The ship is lightly armored and often takes high damage from enemy armor piercing shells.
Guns have a shorter firing range than most other cruisers at her tier.
Firepower feels lacking due to the ship having few, small guns.

As a premium ship, Huanghe doesn't have any upgrades to research.

The recommended upgrades for Huanghe are as follows:

Slot 1: Auxiliary Armaments Modification 1
Slot 2: AA Guns Modification 2*
Slot 4: Damage Control System Modification 1
Slot 5: Steering Gears Modification 2

Upgrade Slot 2 provides Huanghe with the ability to specialize in certain roles. AA Guns Modification 2 is the best choice for players wishing to specialize in anti-aircraft duties. Players considering alternative builds may choose to equip Secondary Battery Modification 2 to increase the ship's firepower in close-quarter engagements. Aiming Systems Modification 1 is a generally viable choice which reduces the dispersion of main battery shells, increases torpedo traverse speed, and slightly improves the range and dispersion of the secondary battery.

Huanghe can equip the following consumables:

Slot 1: Damage Control Party 
Slot 2: Torpedo Reload Booster  or Hydroacoustic Search 
Slot 3: Smoke Generator

As Huanghe's Smoke Generator  is the same as Perth's in terms of performance, it is highly recommended to mount the premium version. Torpedo Reload Booster  is not recommended due to the lack of torpedoes the ship has, thus leaving Hydroacoustic Search  as the only preferable option for Slot 2.

As a premium ship, Huanghe comes included with Type 10 camouflage that lowers her detection radius, reduces the accuracy of incoming shells, and increases the amount of experience she earns.

As a Tier VI cruiser, Huanghe can quickly spew out fire like most other Tier VI cruisers. To boost the effectiveness of her firepower, India X-Ray () and Victor Lima () are highly recommended in order to increase the fire chance of her shells. Sierra Mike () will help Huanghe feel slightly more nimble while November Foxtrot () will help get her consumables off cooldown faster.

As Huanghe is a premium ship, various economic and special signal flags can be mounted to further boost the economic and experience gains of the ship. However, as a mid-tier premium Huanghe does not make as much profit compared to a higher tier premium, so the economic and special signal flags may be saved for a higher tiered ship.
