Emden — German special premium Tier II cruiser.
SMS Emden, the second Dresden-class cruiser, met the outbreak of World War I in the Far East as part of von Spee's squadron. In September 1914, Karl von Müller took command of the ship, which was detached for independent raiding in the Indian Ocean, and the cruiser captured nearly two dozen ships. Emden launched a surprise attack on Penang; in the resulting Battle of Penang, she sank Russian cruiser Zhemchug and French destroyer Mousquet. On November 9, 1914, during a raid on Cocos Islands, Emden was intercepted by Australian cruiser HMAS Sydney, sustained severe damage, and had to run aground near the shore to avoid sinking.
The ship was given out during the 2015 Holiday season by completing a three part mission series.

Player Opinion
Performance
For player opinion on the researchable ship of equivalent performance, see Dresden.
Pros:
- Insanely fast reload.
- Great turret turning time.
- Puts a lot of lead down range.
- Is a DDs worse nightmare due to HE spam.
- Is virtually the Dresden in everyway, players familiar with her will have no problem using her.
Cons:
- Shortest firing range of all Tier II cruisers.
- HE shells do extremely small amounts of damage and AP is practically worthless.
- Large turning radius for a ship her size makes dodging torpedoes a challenge.
- High shell arc.
- No secondaries.

Camouflage
As a premium ship, Emden comes included with Type 9 camouflage that lowers her detection radius, reduces the accuracy of incoming shells, and increases the amount of experience she earns.Gallery
