Tier VI · Cruiser · Germany
Rating S- (Near elite within its tier and class · overall score 81) · Gunnery cruiser
Gunnery cruiser, suited to DD hunting, torpedo strikes. It is especially strong against cruisers and destroyers (AP deals a same-tier cruiser's HP in about 2 min on paper). A glass cannon: huge firepower, but low HP means it melts under focus fire. Its AP main battery DPM of 42,410 is 12% above the same-tier cruiser average. A full torpedo spread can deal up to 18,630 (all launchers combined). Torpedo DPM is 62% higher than average.
