Black Castilla
Tier X · Cruiser · Spain · Premium
Rating C- (Quite weak within its tier and class · overall score 20) · Balanced cruiser
A Spanish cruiser variant of Castilla, characterized by burst fire: its 254 mm guns fire twice in quick succession, then go into a long reload. Its 10,017 salvo is average, but DPM is 25% below the tier X cruiser average, so it relies on burst rather than sustained damage. Compared with the original, HP is higher and rudder shift and detectability are better, but range drops to 12.46 km. A 35.85 kn top speed, 9.06 km detectability, and 9.6 km torpedoes that can be fired undetected suit ambush-and-retreat play. The wiki rates it above the original because Fuel Smoke can cover the gap right after a burst.
