Chengan
Tier I · Cruiser · Pan-Asia
Rating B+ (Above average within its tier and class · overall score 58) · Agile cruiser
Agile cruiser. It is especially strong against cruisers (HE deals a same-tier cruiser's HP in about 3 min on paper). Top speed is 19.0 kn (1.8 kn below average), but 3.6 s rudder shift and 8.2°/s turning make it exceptionally nimble at dodging shells and snapping turns. HE-only, it grinds targets down with fires.
