Castilla — Spain Tech Tree Tier X Cruiser.

While developing their own heavy cruisers, Spanish engineers actively adopted Italian experience and the latest achievements of Italian engineering in the field of ship armor protection and armaments. The knowledge gained could have culminated in a project based on a fusion of Italian and Spanish naval design thinking—projects of the Ansaldo cruisers and a project for a "Super Washington" cruiser from the Ferrol shipyard.

Pros

• Easy to shoot accurately at long ranges
• Burst Fire alternative fire mode available
• High top speed

Cons
