Caledon
Tier III · Cruiser · U.K.
Rating C (Weak within its tier and class · overall score 25) · Agile cruiser
Agile cruiser. Top speed of 27.5 kn is 1.8 kn above average, with good turning, rudder shift, acceleration. AP penetration of 228 mm is 61% above average and handles thick armor. AP-only, but its destroyer-calibre shells rarely overpen, so they work on destroyers too. Its firepower trails other cruisers, so pick favorable angles and ranges over straight DPM races. A firepower equipment build improves reload 7.5→7.12 s, dispersion 156→142 m.
