Rating B (Average within its tier and class · overall score 54) · Gunnery cruiser
Gunnery cruiser, suited to fire pressure, spotting. Firing 12 152mm guns every 5.5 s, it reaches 64,931 HE DPM and sets frequent fires. A glass cannon: huge firepower, but low HP means it melts under focus fire. High HE fire potential (5.0 fires/min before hit rate and resistance). Key skills: Air Defense Alert II ×3; Sonar I ×2 (3.75 km, 25 s); Radar II ×2 (8.1 km, 10 s). Shells spread widely, so fight at medium range or wait for broadsides.
