Rating D (Bottom tier within its tier and class · overall score 7) · Stealthy cruiser
Stealthy cruiser, suited to AA escort, torpedo ambush. It is weak against cruisers (HE deals a same-tier cruiser's HP in about 5 min on paper). Its 8.1 km torpedoes outrange its 7.02 km detectability by 1.1 km, ideal for stealth ambushes. Detectability of 7.02 km is 0.58 km below average, so it is less likely to be spotted first. Key skills: Air Defense Alert I ×3. Its firepower trails other cruisers, so pick favorable angles and ranges over straight DPM races.
