+ | * ''Gelderland'' had 12 cm No. 2 cannons, not 12 cm L40 No. 3 which is either the wrong (army) designation or the wrong model. | |||
+ | * Her AA complement was 7 pieces of various manufacturers and calibres, not 8 Schwarzloses. | |||
+ | * The Koninklijke Marine did not use the ''Maschinengewehr Patent Schwarzlose M.07'' designation. Nor did they refer to Machine Guns in the German language. | |||
+ | * Her shell weights should be 23,8 kg for Pansterkogel (AP) and 23,65 kg for Brisantgranaat (HE). | |||

Gelderland — Dutch Tier II cruiser.
This Holland-class protected cruiser was laid down in Schiedam in November 1897. After her commissioning, Gelderland was sent to the East Indies, where she stayed until 1905. In 1920, she was converted into a training ship. At the outbreak of World War II, the cruiser was partially disarmed and was not part of the navy. In 1940, Gelderland was captured by the Germans and refitted as floating AA battery Niobe. The ship was sunk in the port of Kotka, Finland, in 1944.

Player Opinion
Performance
Refer to the in-game Port screens for more useful data.
Gelderland has good qualities, yet somehow she struggles to do significant damage.
Quick progression to Java is encouraged.Pros:
- Enough guns so that many bear despite the ship's attitude.
- Reasonable turret traverse and reload.
- Decent (for the tier) AAA.
- Good speed and maneuverability.
- Excellent concealment for a cruiser.
Cons:
- Few guns bear directly ahead.
- Wonky dispersion and weak shells.

Signals
Ramming an enemy in Co-op seems to be a common way of quickly accumulating damage and leaving the battle. With that strategy, only Sierra Mike and an econ signal or two make sense. Otherwise, Juliet Charlie is probably the best pick.
