Tier X · Cruiser · U.K.
Rating B- (Below average within its tier and class · overall score 43) · Durable cruiser
A British tech-tree heavy cruiser that was once near the bottom but, after several buffs, is now a solidly usable ship. Its twelve 234 mm HE guns have salvo damage 47% above average, but the long 13.5 s reload keeps DPM below average, and 3.43 fires per minute on paper is only about average. Its strength is staying power: 55,717 HP, up to 4 Repair Party charges with increased healing, and 3 charges of Air Defense Alert II that block aircraft well. However, its armor is thin, so it must not body-block the line in front of battleships, and with only 2 smoke charges it should save them for emergencies.
