Most notably, she carries a high explosive round — like ''[[Belfast]]'' — allowing her to set enemies on fire with something other than secondaries. Her other primary difference is her smoke screen. Unlike the short deployment time, long duration typical British cruiser smoke, ''Perth'' has a {{Crawling Smoke Generator}} that deploys smoke continuously for 90 seconds, but each individual cloud of smoke only lasts for 10. This allows ''Perth'' to create a mobile [[Ship:Smoke Screens|smoke screen]], staying fully hidden while moving at speeds up to 12.5 knots, for over 2 minutes with all available modifications. | |

Perth — Commonwealth premium Tier VI cruiser.
This warship was built in the United Kingdom, based on a reworked design of Leander-class cruisers with a modified arrangement of the propulsion unit. She was similar to her prototype in terms of armament, but had a different armor layout. In 1939, the ship was commissioned into the Royal Australian Navy.Perth first went on sale on 18 November 2016 on the NA servers, and on 11 November 2016 on the EU servers.

Player Opinion
Performance
Perth is a sister ship to Tier VI British cruiser Leander; however, she has some significant differences. Most notably, she carries a high explosive round — like Belfast — allowing her to set enemies on fire with something other than secondaries. Her other primary difference is her smoke screen. Unlike the short deployment time, long duration typical British cruiser smoke, Perth has a Crawling Smoke Generator that deploys smoke continuously for 90 seconds, but each individual cloud of smoke only lasts for 10. This allows Perth to create a mobile smoke screen, staying fully hidden while moving at speeds up to 12.5 knots, for over 2 minutes with all available modifications.
In the negative column, Perth’s armor piercing rounds are not the improved AP of the regular tech tree British light cruisers, and her anti-aircraft suite is even weaker than that of stock hull Leander. Her short main battery firing range also means she must be played very carefully or she will be quickly removed from the battle by anything that can citadel her; which is, unfortunately, anything in the game with cruiser-caliber guns or better. When her short firing range is combined with her woefully mediocre anti-aircraft suite, Perth’s ability to equip either a Spotting Aircraft or a Catapult Fighter — something Leander can't do — becomes an important choice; either will give her some spotting ability outside of her smoke screen, but one will increase her range and the other will help cover her from enemy aircraft.Pros:
- Second lowest detection radius of all Tier VI cruisers.
- Crawling Smoke Generator consumable allows Perth to move at low speeds and take her smoke cloud with her.
- Has access to high explosive rounds, giving her more flexibility against angled targets and destroyers.
- Good handling characteristics: short rudder shift time, and a reasonably tight turning circle.
- Can choose between equipping either a Spotting Aircraft or Catapult Fighter .
- Two fully upgraded Perths can maintain permanent smoke coverage by alternating use of their Crawling Smoke Generator .
Cons:
- Low health pool; 27,100 base hp is in the bottom third of Tier VI cruisers.
- Bow/stern armor can be overmatched by 283mm+ AP; unlike her sister ship Leander, Perth cannot recover health .
- Shortest main battery firing range of all Tier VI cruisers.
- Dreadfully bad anti-aircraft suite, and cannot equip Defensive AA Fire .
- Requires high resource investment into Special Upgrades and Commander Skills for optimum performance.

Research
Optimal Configuration
Upgrades
The recommended upgrades for Perth are as follows:
- Slot 1: Spotting Aircraft Modification 1 or Main Armaments Modification 1
- Slot 2: Hydroacoustic Search Modification 1 or Engine Room Protection
- Slot 3: Smoke Generator Modification 1 or Aiming Systems Modification 1
- Slot 4: Steering Gears Modification 1
More than any other ship in the game, Perth benefits from access to the Special Upgrades that are available through the Arsenal. Captains with access to the following are encouraged to mount them instead in their respective slots: Smoke Generator Modification 1 is first priority; Spotting Aircraft Modification 1 is especially useful on large maps; Hydroacoustic Search Modification 1 will better align your Hydroacoustic search duration with your upgraded smoke duration.
Commander Skills
Perth has more commander skill options available to her than Leander, simply by virtue of the fact she has high explosive shells available to her main battery. The two main specializations are towards DD-hunting or towards damage output.
For DD-hunters, taking Concealment Expert and Radio Position Finder are critical, supplemented by quality of life skills such as Superintendent, Vigilance, Expert Marksman, Expert Loader. These could be rounded off by skills that increase survivability while detected: Survivability Expert, Last Stand, Preventative Maintenance, and/or Incoming Fire Alert.
For a more damage-oriented build, Demolition Expert, Inertial Fuse for High Explosive, and Adrenalin Rush are core skills to chose. Jack of All Trades combined with a November Foxtrot signal () will reduce the timers on her crucial consumable cooldowns.
Investing commander skill points into improving Perth’s anti-aircraft defenses is not recommended.

Consumables
Perth can equip the following consumables:
- Slot 1: Damage Control Party
- Slot 2: Hydroacoustic Search
- Slot 3: Spotting Aircraft or Catapult Fighter
- Slot 4: Crawling Smoke Generator
Camouflage
As a premium ship, Perth comes included with Type 10 camouflage that lowers her detection radius, reduces the accuracy of incoming shells, and increases the amount of experience she earns.
Signals
X-Ray Papa Unaone and November Foxtrot () are the most important signal flags that Perth can equip, followed by Sierra Mike () and the flags that increase her HE shell fire chance: India X-Ray () and Victor Lima (). When equipping India X-Ray, adding a Juliet Charlie () to eliminate the bonus chance of detonation is a good idea. Sierra Bravo may also be useful to boost Hydroacoustic Search duration.
