Chumphon
Tier VII · Cruiser · Pan-Asia
Rating B- (Below average within its tier and class · overall score 40) · Stealthy cruiser
Stealthy cruiser. It is weak against cruisers (HE deals a same-tier cruiser's HP in about 4 min on paper). Top speed is 31.7 kn (0.8 kn below average), but 12.5 s acceleration and 6.9 s rudder shift and 7.7°/s turning make it exceptionally nimble at dodging shells and snapping turns. Add 3 charges of Fuel Smoke to break vision whenever it gets caught, and its survivability is very high. Key skills: Fuel Smoke I ×3 (9 s deploy, 3 s linger); Air Defense Alert II ×2; Torpedo Reload I ×2. Fuel smoke hides it even at full speed for hit-and-run play, but it clears quickly.
