===Pros===
* Good main battery DPM.
* Good concealment.


|Performance=<!-- write text about performance in battles below -->
===Cons===
{{AA Sidebar Warning Insert}}
* Poor main battery range.
* Low top speed.


''Albany'' has sub-par gun range, but that doesn't prevent her from being able to stand her ground when used well. She quite maneuverable and is best suited to a play style resembling that of American destroyers; that is, going around island in a bid to remain in cover and strike at the enemy that doesn't expect you. In the hands of a capable captain, this ship remains a respectable threat, being able to damage most ships of Tier II and III.

Albany — U.S.A. Premium Tier II Cruiser.

After the Proclamation of the Republic in 1889 and the mutinies of the 1890s, Brazil aimed to rebuild its Navy. As part of this effort, armored deck cruisers were ordered from Armstrong in 1895. However, due to financial difficulties, only one out of the four ordered cruisers was commissioned by the Brazilian Navy. The lead ship was sold to Chile, and the United States repurchased two more cruisers to prevent Spain from acquiring them after the Spanish-American War. One of them entered service under the name Albany. The ship participated in the Philippine-American War and later in World War I.

Pros

  • Good main battery DPM.
  • Good concealment.

Cons

  • Poor main battery range.
  • Low top speed.
