so it isnt' the easiest playstlye to pick up, unlike the kiting style that IJN, MN, and VMF cruisers are good at. USN cruisers kind of require some agressive positioning at times, due to map designs, your spawn position, ect. From there you just fire on any ship that's on the other side of that island, and you either push forward or run away depending on if the enemy pushes up on you or if your team starts to push past you. You need to be able to look at the map to find a good island to play around, but also making sure you have enough scouting from other teammates to reach that destination without dying or getting surronded when you get there. I mean just look at the Pensacola: it's the first 'Heavy cruiser' in the line, but in reality it's more like a light cruiser with heavy cruiser guns, which I nicknamed the sort of cruiser design as 'Medium Cruiser'.Īs for those struggling to play USN cruisers: it's all about positioning. USN cruiser design can pretty much be summed up as having great, rapid-firepower on a fast, lightly armored ship.

Ok, this said, the only way to play it, is to hide behind low islands.īut using the gun arc to shot over the island and beeing protected in the same time extreme high visibility (what makes radar and sonar totally useless) non existant armor (at least for tier 8 competing with tier 10) Due to that the effective firepower is extremly downgraded.īoth advantages turn out to be not as strong as one might think.

Maybe the firepower and range is acceptable, but the rest is just plain bad.įurther the high gun arc negates all range advantage because smart enemys who curve a bit can easily avoid hits. 引用自 Flashshark：I got the Cleveland as a giveway for free, so it was predictable to be nothing special.
