Best cruisers for beginners

Thanks! I'm at tier 4 german dd line and I was thinking if it's beginner friendly

 

Thanks for the reply!

In that case be aware that the german DD-guns get a bit whacky at T 5, 6 and 8.

The T5 has some tiny pop-guns that pack no punch, so don't rely on them as much as before

and the T6 and 8 get 150mm main guns (if you so choose), that trade reload (and traverse i think?) for more alpha.

The traverse is the same, and the HE DPM on both the 128 and 150 on both ships is almost identical. However the AP DPM is much higher on the 128. So it is more of a trade in terms of HE trading and fire chance vs punishing broadside targets. Need to do some testing if the AP pen is of any real difference however.

Ok Thanks
