Player Opinion
Performance
Pros:
- Like St. Louis, Charleston has the most health of any Tier III cruiser.
- A large arsenal of fourteen 152mm main guns combined with eighteen 76mm secondary guns.
- Turning circle of only 450 meters.
Cons:
- Significantly slower rudder shift than that of the St. Louis top hull.
Optimal Configuration
Upgrades
The recommended upgrades for Charleston are as follows:
- Slot 1: Main Armaments Modification 1 *
- Slot 2: Damage Control System Modification 1
Slot 1 provides two worthwhile upgrade options. Main Armaments Modification 1 is generally advised to improve the survivability of the guns. Some players may choose to mount Magazine Modification 1 to reduce the chance of a magazine detonation occurring.
Commander Skills
The following information is provided for players who wish to create a permanent captain for the ship. Those players who are retraining captains or using the ship to gain extra experience for a captain should consult the page relevant to the ship to which the captain will be assigned.

Signals
Charleston captains should mount standard signal flags to improve the ship's performance in battle. Sierra Mike () flags are highly recommended to increase the ship's top speed. India X-Ray () and Victor Lima () flags can be mounted to improve the main battery's fire chance. November Foxtrot () and India Yankee () flags can also be mounted to improve the ship's survivability. Lastly, economic and special signal flags can be mounted to increase the ship's economic gains per battle.
