Johan de Witt — Dutch Tier IX cruiser.
An alternative project to the one for the cruiser from back in 1939—it preserved the armament comprising nine 240 mm guns and offered appropriate armor and speed but presupposed greater displacement. Thanks to her high speed, such a cruiser could avoid engaging her enemies if she so wished while also being able to stand up against several Japanese battlecruisers due to her enhanced armament and armor. However, that project was never implemented either. Further work was focused on designing a heavy cruiser carrying 283 mm main guns.

Player Opinion
Performance
Warning. The data presented in the AA Defense sidebar section may be incorrect.
The Johan De Witt is a pretty good allrounder with its Airstrike, Hydro, and Defensive AA consumable. The Armor of this ship is pretty decent with a turtleback. Her good concealment allows her to get close and personal to enemy cruisers.
This ship has a very good Icebreaker. The maneuverability of it is pretty decent, that's why you should take Steering Gears Modification 1 to improve the rudder shift time. The Concealment is excelent. When you take the Concealment System Mod 1 + Concealment Expert + Ship Camouflage you can get the Detactibility Range down to 10 km. That means you can decide when to engage and why you should take the Gun Fire Control System Modification 2.
This ship is pretty good at tanking and kiting. Thanks to its good icebreaker you can bounce shells from most high-caliber guns. When kiting away the long-range can help you dodge shots.
Because of its weak armor (Deck 30 mm), The De Witt is pretty vulnerable against high explosive shells which exceed 30mm penetration. Also, you are going to get a lot of overpenetration when kiting away because of the 27 mm Side Plating.
The guns are at their best mediocre. These are basically German guns that spread a lot. So most of the time you will be using HE. the fire chance is 20%. The AP deals a considerable amount of damage. Sadly the guns aren't that accurate so you will be only shooting AP when there is a broadsiding target in front of you.Pros:
- Largest gun caliber of all Tier 9 techtree cruisers at 240mm
- Powerful AP shells with good damage, penetration and shell velocity
- Heavily armored midsection and icebreaker bow
- Second strongest airstrike among Dutch cruisers, only beaten by Gouden Leeuw
- Very powerful AA defenses, aided by the Defensive AA Fire consumable
- Improved Repair Party consumable with a fast cooldown
- Amazing concealment for such a vessel, as low as 10km with all relevant upgrades
Cons:
- Short main battery range
- Poor main battery rate of fire
- Subpar accuracy at all ranges
- While fire chance is decent, HE damage output is very low
- Like all Dutch heavy cruisers, Johan de Witt has increased fire and flood duration (same as a battleship)
- Airstrikes have a fairly long cooldown
- Slow rudder shift for a cruiser

Consumables
Johan de Witt equips the following consumables:
- Slot 1: Damage Control Party
- Slot 2: Hydroacoustic Search
- Slot 3: Defensive AA Fire
- Slot 4: Repair Party
Camouflage
Type 1, 2, or 5 camouflage can be equipped for credits; Types 1 or 5 are recommended at a minimum to reduce the detectability range.
Players who wish to spend doubloons can equip Johan de Witt with Type 19 camouflage that lowers her detection radius, reduces the accuracy of incoming shells, reduces her repair costs, and increases the amount of experience she earns.
