Must be armored glass, otherwise I would not survive battleships hits in my Königsberg.

Yes, some other cruisers maybe have thicker armor, but german cruisers have more range and really strong AP to compensate for it.

Not all ships are the same and I think the more variety and different playstyles we have, the better.

German cruisers armor is good against AP but terrible against HE.

This.

 

If you angle just a little, enemy cruisers basically can't citadel you and you still have high-velocity guns with great penetration and DPM. You can wriggle all day and still keep the guns on target. They do well against destroyers too due to the amazing sonar and flat arcs. German cruisers are the best cruiser hunters in the game, but they suck against battleships.

 

When the battle starts, find a place with few battleships and a lot of enemy cruisers and go to town.

suck againts BBs  dude you drunking my königsberg has demolite BBs with AP not matter then BB how turn always make damage 5-8k per salvo or bad angle is make 3-4k and that very good for a cruiser.

Sloped citadel armor makes that anyway hard on T4 and below without having some bigger caliber gun.

Also Nürnberg has second sloped internal armor around citadel besides (outward angled) armor belt.

Nürnberg is a little high in the water just like the Hipper was they heve to fix that 

thats why everyone thinks it has no armor cus the citadel is to over the waterline cus of that

That only works with Kberg against some battleships. It doesn't work with all German cruisers against all targets.

 

Sometimes you have to use HE against BBs and it stinks.

What, the tier 5 and 6 are basically allergic to BB AP rounds. Every hit is a Citadel hit. Or if not, it does at least 6k damage.

Also funny to use russian DDs against them -  crit the sh*t out of them with HE until they are on fire and their engine is dead (just a few hits needed)  and then citadel them to death with AP.....

Its hard until you get to tier 5. Suddenly you are the meanest and most dangerous cruiser on the map.

Until you run into an enemy Omaha / Murmansk player who knows how to angle and wrecks you. ;)

no any situation need HE(expect want kill DD short time) and that can i say all cruiser in game only many player cant accept that the cruiser IS NOT BB cant do the same damage becouse of the cruiser guns are half in BB main guns.

and 1 advice if you see a BB dont shoot her main armor belt shoot her supertructer that part the AP make big damage even a cruiser guns

I have twice as much average damage in my Königsberg as you.

I think I'll stick to what I think.

[BlueMoon51]

The worst issue is the module damage if you get through a game without losing your steering or engine its only because you have been detonated before you lost them!!!

[RogDodgeUK]

moved to in-game ships / Cruisers

[praetor_jax]

Havent played german cruisers since the Königsberg was available as a trial, but from a battleships perspective german cruisers are among my favourite targets - they seem to take a lot more citadel hits than other cruisers and are less agile.

but only because HE use it, you do not really want to experience how to get out of the AP do good shots. this much for such as you spoil the game interesting I can not replace live ammunition when I see the cruiser armor-piercing bullet does not do damage, but I look to hit and correct as long as I do not see the point where good, oh excuse me but I supposed to sense that you do not really have all HE stupid either.

German cruisers made of glass? My little Emden and Coalburger are great little ships compared with the St Louis for instance which has 20knts short range guns compared with German ships turns like a truck on ice. Should I go on?

I thought that the Karl was bad until I tried the St Louis, now give me the Karl over this old tub any day of the week.

 st louis a bad ship right....

I am the first one to say that sometimes a player can't seem to "gel" with a ship. (I've posted many times about certain ships myself).

However, you can't just claim that a ship is "bad" just because you, personally, don't get on with it. The St. Louis is a good ship - look at the data.

Which fortunately is really rare. Thus for the most part you wreck your enemies in a Königsberg.
