Player Opinion

Cruiser - Yorck

Pros:

• Good handling characteristics; relatively fast rudder shift and small turning radius.
• Good damage on both HE and AP shells.
• Improved armor and German turtleback armor scheme give her some additional survivability.
• Fast main battery reload time for a heavy cruiser (10 seconds).

Cons:

• Fairly slow turret traverse.
• Armor — despite being improved over that of Nürnberg — still cannot take much punishment, and sometimes HE shells will deal more damage than expected.
• Average HP pool amongst her contemporaries.
