It was believed that this caliber should suffice for performing combat missions. However, a year prior to that, 234 mm and 254 mm guns were mentioned in projects. A compromise between the lower cost of the 15,500-ton cruiser and 234 mm guns would have involved installing twin-gun main battery turrets on such a cruiser.</p><p> </p></div>


|Performance=<!-- write text about performance in battles below -->
===Pros===
{{AA Sidebar Warning Insert}}
* HE shells deal high damage
''{{#var:ship_name}}'' is a Tier VIII British heavy cruiser, being the same tier equivalent to ''[[Albemarle]]''.
* Low detectability


''{{#var:ship_name}}'''s survivability is one of her weakpoints. Her hitpool being average, she stands out with her raised citadel which extends from the forward turrets all the way to the rear turrets, while being raised amidships. Making matters worse, her plating is only 25mm thick, making ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' vulnerable against overmatching from a lot of battleships in her MM spread. What helps ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' offset some of the damage taken is her {{Specialized Repair Teams}}, which are capable of recovering up to 48% of the ship's hitpool. However, the amount of damage from citadel hits that can be recovered is very limited, so this tool will serve best against light damage.
===Cons===
* Particularly vulnerable citadel to AP rounds
* Low damage per minute


''{{#var:ship_name}}'' is armed with six 234mm guns, distributed among three twin turrets with a superfiring pair fore and the third turret aft. Their range is limited with 16.1km and no means to extend it, but the individual shell performance is very impressive. A high Alpha damage, with the AP Alpha per shell being only beaten by ''[[Admiral Hipper]]'' and her sister ''[[Prinz Eugen]]'', as well as the improved penetration on her HE shells, allow ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' to deliver hard hitting salvos. Unfortunately, with the gun count being as low as it is, the dpm remains lackluster in comparison to other T8 cruisers, making ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' dependent on surprising her targets.

Fortunately, ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' has the concealment to surprise her opponents. Getting a surface detection of as low as 9.5km, ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' can sneak up on almost all opponents of her type and tier, and should have no issues disengaging if so needed. However, while a lot of the peers of her nation have access to {{Smoke Generator}}, ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' enjoys no such luxury. Situational Awareness will be required to not get caught out of position, which with her survivability can end lethal quickly.

With her decent AA protection and access to {{Defensive AA Fire}}, ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' can be a difficult target for carriers to choose. However, determined and skilled players will still be able to deliver their ordnance, but at an increased cost.

VIII
13,000 doubloons

Cheshire — U.K. Premium Tier VIII Cruiser.

In 1940, a project for a 15,500-ton cruiser armed with 203 mm guns was considered. It was believed that this caliber should suffice for performing combat missions. However, a year prior to that, 234 mm and 254 mm guns were mentioned in projects. A compromise between the lower cost of the 15,500-ton cruiser and 234 mm guns would have involved installing twin-gun main battery turrets on such a cruiser.

Pros

  • HE shells deal high damage
  • Low detectability

Cons

  • Particularly vulnerable citadel to AP rounds
  • Low damage per minute
