![]() ![]() ![]() Carriers, may they be tier VIII or X will be able to chain drop the Plymouth without any sort of issue. The anti-air on that ship is simply horrible for a tier X cruiser. Of course, here, I’m talking about a scenario where you aren’t shooting while unspotted in your smoke. You literally cannot afford to use all 4 turrets against these if they are targeting you. Due to her terrible firing angles, if you bring all guns to bear, enemy cruisers will be able to get citadels on you and it’s especially brutal when fighting a U.S. While she is very effective at slapping DDs hard and at farming damage on battleships, with cruisers, you will have to be careful. You do have a very good alpha strike potential though. As I said earlier though, compared to the Minotaur, you don’t have nearly as much DPM due to the much longer reload. In action, the difference with the AP shells of the Minotaur is neglectable. The AP on the Plymouth is the same as on the Edinburgh. Just like (almost) all British light cruisers, the Plymouth is characterized by the lack of a second type of ammunition, being only able to fire AP shells at the enemy. If you want to learn more about the Town-class, here is a video from Drachinifel about it: However, due to the difficulty of designing such turret, the idea was abandoned and instead, they received an improved version of the triple turrets from previous sub-classes. The ships were made longer to accommodate such main armament. Compared to the previous ships, the design of the Edinburgh sub-class was calling for a main battery of sixteen 152 mm guns in four quadruple turrets. As designed, these ships had a 9 000 tons displacement and were armed with twelve 152 mm guns in four triple turrets. The Town-class was the answer to the American’s Brooklyn-class and Japanese Mogami-class light cruisers. This treaty limited the displacement of light cruisers to 10 000 tons and their main armament to 155 mm guns. These ships were designed under the terms of the London Naval Treaty. The Edinburgh-class was the last variation of the Town-class light cruisers from the Royal Navy. The Plymouth is based on an early design of the Edinburgh sub-class of light cruisers. Is she worth it? How is she doing compared to Minotaur? Here is my opinion about it.įirst things first though, history time! History is important boys and girls. With the release of Update 0.9.9, Plymouth is now available for the price of 27 000 Steel. ![]()
