The problem of the Swedish and the Dutch ones is much trickier in contrast. The two still not fully completed cruisers were captured by Nationalist rebels in their dockyards in Ferrol when the Civil War broke out, and in the end the Rebels managed to finish their much-delayed construction.) She was made seaworthy by September 1934, however many components, including two aft turrents, are still missing when she conducted her engine trials. (After some research it is incorrect to claim that she did not spend one single day under the Republican flag.

There is little doubt to place Canarias at T6 together with the first generation of Treaty cruisers like Pensacola, Trento and County.Īlso she is flying the Spanish Republican tricolor? This thing, is Friesland on cracks and citadels. Speed is modest at 32 knots, but being more modern than Tre Kronor, she has many modern sensors and of course, DAKKA! She has the same Bofors guns, but were enhanced and has higher fire rate, completed by an extensive AA battery. She weighted around 14,000 ton, yet has barely any armor of which her belt was only 76mm thick at best. HNLMS De Ruyter (Endracht-class), T-IX or X?ĭe Ruyter is one of De Zeven Provincien-class cruisers built for the Royal Netherlands Navy. In terms of gameplay, i think she would be very similar to Chapayev, kiter and radar support (with lesser range). She also has reasonably modern sensors and radars from the British. The key is her main battery of Bofors 152mm/53 gun (a triple forward and two doubles aft), capable of firing a shell 15 rounds per minute at 900m/s. She was lightly armored with 70mm belt, but has respectable speed of 33 knots and decent AA.

Moreover, she has more torpedo tubes compared to her half-sister. She was armed with the same 203mm gun, but exchanged torpedo bulge for better internal protection and 33 knot speed. Here is my suggestion for the Pan-EU premium cruisersĪ Spanish heavy cruiser based on the British County-class, Canarias was the flagship of the Nationalist side during the civil war. Hence, i make this topic as a stress relief after PR disaster. Teaser on the new Swedish Pan-EU destroyers makes me thinking on possible premium cruisers.
