Tier X · Cruiser · Commonwealth
Rating S- (Near elite within its tier and class · overall score 82) · Stealthy cruiser
The Commonwealth tech-tree tier X cruiser, firing twelve 203 mm HE guns every 8.1 s for a theoretical 4.68 fires per minute, 29% above the tier X cruiser average. Setting 3 fires unlocks Combat Readiness, raising main battery accuracy by 54% and boosting shell velocity and turret traverse for 30 s, so the more it burns, the better it hits. 3 charges of Crawling Smoke II let it repeatedly shoot from smoke and slip away, and 8.88 km detectability keeps the risk of being spotted first low. Its 12.36 km range isn't long and armor is ordinary, so it is in danger if a Radar cruiser strips its smoke. The wiki and the latest tier lists rank it among the very best tech-tree cruisers.
