Black Haarlem
Tier VIII · Cruiser · Netherlands
Rating B+ (Above average within its tier and class · overall score 56) · Gunnery cruiser
Gunnery cruiser, suited to air scouting. Launching aircraft every 48 s lights up enemies behind islands and near smoke, a big scouting asset for the team, and its bomber strikes (36 bombs at 802 each, scattered so only some land) reach targets beyond gun range. With 4 Damage Control charges it shrugs off fire and flooding combos. Its AP broadside of 7,857 is 6% above average, so every salvo hits hard. Key skills: Precise Aiming System II ×3 (main battery accuracy +54%, 20 s); Sonar I ×2 (3.75 km, 25 s). Sluggish acceleration means you must start turning early to dodge shells and torpedoes.
