Rating S- (Near elite within its tier and class · overall score 83) · Gunnery cruiser
Gunnery cruiser, suited to AA escort, DD hunting. It is especially strong against destroyers (AP deals a same-tier destroyer's HP in about 84 s on paper · destroyer-calibre AP rarely overpens destroyers); but it is weak against battleships (HE deals a same-tier battleship's HP in about 6 min on paper). Firing 12 128mm guns every 4.3 s, it reaches 63,293 HE DPM. A glass cannon: huge firepower, but low HP means it melts under focus fire. Detectability of 7.26 km is 1.26 km below average, so it is less likely to be spotted first.
