It was planned for the ship to join the fleet in the East Indies in addition to two already available ones. The project was developed by a German-Dutch company and had design features of German ships of that time. The cruiser was named after M. A. de Ruyter, one of the most esteemed Dutch Admirals. The ship was launched in October 1936 and sent to the East Indies the next year, where she stayed until the outbreak of World War II. In 1942, De Ruyter was the flagship of the allied squadron commanded by Admiral Karel Doorman.</p><p> </p></div>


|Performance=<!-- write text about performance in battles below -->
===Pros===
* Airstrike armament available
* Easy to shoot accurately at long ranges
* High AA defense efficiency


{{AA Sidebar Warning Insert}}
===Cons===
* Low survivability
* Low rate of Fire


<!--
PERFORMANCE SECTION GUIDELINES
1.  Write a brief intro paragraph of 1-3 sentences.
2.  Write 1-3 paragraphs of "meat".  Talk about what the ship does well, what it doesn't, how it compares to same tier ships of the same type, how it compares to the previous ship in the tech tree, whatever.  Try to avoid quoting vital statistics to players unless it is really relevant (i.e. concealment); they can see those in the sidebar on the right and don't need them read back. 
3.  Write a brief summary paragraph of 1-3 sentences highlighting the key takeaways from the paragraphs above.
-->


''{{#var:ship_name}}'' is a Tier IV Royal Netherlands Navy light cruiser. She follows ''[[Java]]'', improving certain aspects of her predecessor while keeping the overall flavor.


Just like her Tier III comrade, ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' has no access to torpedoes and thus has to rely on gunpower alone. While she does loose 30% of the guns on paper, the favorable arrangement results in better overall firing angles, which when coupled with the much reduced reload time and good gun range offers solid damage dealing. On top of that, ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' has access to the {{Spotting Aircraft}} consumable to boost her gun range further.

Where ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' may feel like a downgrade is in terms of citadel protection. No longer featuring a turtleback, ''{{#var:ship_name}}'s'' chance of surviving AP salvos at close ranges is drastically reduced. To avoid this ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' has to maintain an angle to threatening ships, and avoid taking hits.

As for the preferred playstyle, ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' is best played at range, hitting targets with HE shells and avoiding return fire as much as possible. Close range engagements are to avoid at all cost, as ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' lacks the effective means to dispose of threats quickly.

De Ruyter — Netherlands Tech Tree Tier IV Cruiser.

Based on the results of the work of a special commission, the development of a new cruiser began in the Netherlands in 1930. It was planned for the ship to join the fleet in the East Indies in addition to two already available ones. The project was developed by a German-Dutch company and had design features of German ships of that time. The cruiser was named after M. A. de Ruyter, one of the most esteemed Dutch Admirals. The ship was launched in October 1936 and sent to the East Indies the next year, where she stayed until the outbreak of World War II. In 1942, De Ruyter was the flagship of the allied squadron commanded by Admiral Karel Doorman.

Pros

  • Airstrike armament available
  • Easy to shoot accurately at long ranges
  • High AA defense efficiency

Cons

  • Low survivability
  • Low rate of Fire
