Hamburg Dockyard: Admiral Schröder
Update 0.11.11 brings back the Dockyard!The Hamburg Dockyard kicks off the construction of
IX Admiral Schröder.The ship is armed with eight 305 mm guns housed in four main battery turrets. She is well suited for combat at medium and short ranges due to her quite solid durability and decent armor protection for a cruiser. Closing in on a hostile ship will trigger her powerful, long-range, and accurate secondary guns.
To repel torpedo attacks, the "trademark" German Hydroacoustic Search consumable will come in handy. The cruiser has good concealment and is able to quickly change flanks and take up any position as needed owing to her Engine Boost with improved characteristics.
