Erie — American Tier I cruiser.

The Erie-class patrol gunboats were designed as small multipurpose ships capable of performing a wide range of tasks, from artillery support of landing operations to protection of convoys. The ships were well-armored and well-armed for their size. They were the first in the U.S. Navy to receive automatic AA guns.

Player Opinion

Performance

For a Tier I ship, Erie has the worst rate of fire, making her possibly the worst Tier I ship to play. Coupled with the slow turret traverse which cannot benefit from the +2.5deg/s due to the main battery caliber, it can make Erie somewhat frustrating to play. However, she is merely the start of the USN cruiser line and does not represent the performance of later tier cruisers, as players will quickly discover upon playing ships such as Cleveland.

Pros:

Brilliant Armour for a Tier I starting ship.
9.6km Gun range.
20.8kts speed makes you currently the fastest Tier I ship.
Guns are quite accurate with a small dispersion arc.

Cons:

Seems to lose its forward gun often.
Can get ahead of its support ships and get caught alone.
The concealment is almost useless as you only have guns to rely on.

Commander Skills

As it is unexpected that players will seriously consider playing Erie longer than necessary or that players will consider assigning a skilled captain to her, the following is primarily aimed at players new to the game and players just beginning the US cruiser line. The skills listed will be generally useful to all ships in the line, excepting Inertia Fuse for HE Shells, which becomes a point liability past Tier VI.
