The proper comparison for the Cleveland is the Mogami. 27mm armor everywhere)īasically, people keep asking for the very best features of the Hipper, Mogami, Edinburgh, and Chappy, with NO downsides. I keep seeing people complaining about the new Cleveland, and, inevitably, it boils down to them wanting the kitchen sink: It should be at least 16.5km then 20% for the spotter.

Question: Even with a spotter plane the proposed 14.6km gun range in the Tier 8 Cleveland will be terrible IMHO.

I've played the Hindenburg and Moskova and like them both but I'm not there yet. I've played in clan battles against the Des Moines and played properly it looks like a great cruiser. I also like the IJN, British and French cruiser lines thru Tier 7. Funny thing is I just re-started the Russian cruiser line at Tier 6 and like the Budyonney! Figure that one out! Torped and sunk two BBs my third random battle in her for 72K damage, 3 sunk total, 4 torp hits, 128 hits, 3 fires and top scorer. I'll wait till after the changes and keep the ships I like that are fun and sell the ships I don't like as I'm not going to have a POS sitting in my port that I don't like to play. Once in a while I have a good game but not consistent enough for me. Power creep by other lines & new BBs have made them really fragile. I probably wont do well, sighīeen kinda disappointed with the US cruiser line up to Tier 8 anyway. I personally hate island hugging, which feels so wrong in a naval game to me. So the standard to judge Tier VIIIs is how well they fare against Tier Xs? I agree with you on the difficulty of hitting targets at range with the 152s but at least with the CL line being consistent in gun performance from Tier VI on, everyone should be very proficient by the time they hit Tier VIII and IX, and deadly at Tier X (if they can survive long enough). Worcester is a less sturdy, less damage oriented Cruiser than DM, but has the stealth, AA, consumables to do some utility duties better than what DM does. Not for her guns, but due to her combination of stealth, radar range, super-long-range-and-now-buffed-AA. This'll be funny.Įdit: I do say, I look forward to Worcester. She won't have the 27mm bow to face tank 380mm AP like DM, Baltimore do.

Cleveland: 'But muh fast shooting 152mm guns!'ĭes Moines: 'That's cute.' Loads 203mm autoloading guns with SHS.
