Harbin — Pan-Asia Tech Tree Tier VIII Cruiser.

Between 1939 and 1941, a number of draft designs of a "long-range small light cruiser" were developed. This ship was meant to be capable of fighting enemy destroyers and leaders, spearheading on its own, mining enemy waters, attacking communication lines, and supporting landing operations. The drafts included a project for a cruiser with the MK-6 number, armed with twin mounts housing dual-purpose 130 mm guns. If the ships of this class had actually been built, some of them might have been transferred to the People's Republic of China Navy along with Project 7 destroyers and coastguards.

Pros

• Great damage and long range Deepwater torpedoes.
• Smoke screen generator available
• Good rate of fire for the tier.

Cons

• Weak armor plating.
• Low main battery range.
• HE shells do low damage and have low armor penetration.
