Hermelin — German Tier I cruiser.
Los ingenieros alemanes diseñaron un proyecto de «lancha cañonera colonial» por encargo de los Países Bajos. Los neerlandeses pretendían construir una serie de siete barcos y poner en grada tres de ellos según un diseño simplificado. Durante la ocupación de los Países Bajos, estos barcos cayeron en manos alemanas y se completaron para la Armada germana. El diseño original superaba los barcos neerlandeses en tamaño y armamento. Existe la conjetura de que el Almirantazgo alemán pretendía construir barcos basados en el diseño original para las futuras bases periféricas alemanas durante la época de posguerra.

Player Opinion
Performance
The Hermelin in the introduction to the German mindset of building cruisers, valuing accurate, fast firing guns capable of laying down withering barrages of fire any enemy ship they set their sights on. The guns are 128mm which are actually larger then the guns on following ships up until mid tier.
The main draw back of the Hermelin is that it's large box silhouette gives it the highest detectability of any tier 1 ship, and is basically a floating Citadel with guns, with even HE rounds have a good chance to get through, let alone AP. While it's anti aircraft is bar none the best of any tier 1 ship by a large margin the odds of getting into a battle with the lowest tier of aircraft carrier (tier 4) is slim to none, even then in such a battle with slow easily citadeled ship, aircraft are the least of it's worries.Pros:
- Fast fire rate and shell type switch times.
- Accurate fairly damaging 128mm guns.
- Best AA out of any Tier 1 ship.
Cons:
- Somewhat sluggish and slow to turn.
- Lackluster turret traverse speed.
- Floating citadel that even HE shells can get often enough.
- AA is great but will rarely if ever find itself in a game to make use of it.
