The cruiser is an optimal surface warship for a SH4 career. She's fast and maneuverable enough to outrun battlegroups that pose a threat and is heavier than a destroyer. Her guns can reach a target at 14,000 yards easily (though you lose some accuracy), which is a pretty big plus as a tin can's guns can reach up to about 8,000 yards. The catch to using a cruiser is hitting hard and staying out of range. If you let all the escorts swarm in within range, you'd best turn tail and run. You have a couple of options... either knock out all the escorts before they get to you, or knock out a merchant before they come within range... run... and go at it again to take out another merchant.
One of the plusses of using the cruiser is its anti-aircraft capability. You really don't have to fear aircraft at all... on a sub with one or two AA guns you had to worry... but with over 16 AA guns? Anything that is dumb enough to come within range will go up in smoke in a matter of seconds... its a good ship to use if you want to rack up some plane kills.

If you like steaming in fast, hitting hard, and making a lot of smoke and noise... the cruiser is a perfect fit!

If you dont mind me asking, can you please tell me where I can get driveble USS Atlanta? One of thread I found on driveable Atlanta, an author of that thread removed the link to download USS Atlanta for some reason? Same thing applies to several other thread. So if you could tell me where to get these driveable ships, these will be truly appericated.

Thanks!


Chaoic out...
