Johan de Witt — Netherlands Tech Tree Tier IX Cruiser.

An alternative project to the one for the cruiser from back in 1939—it preserved the armament comprising nine 240 mm guns and offered appropriate armor and speed but presupposed greater displacement. Thanks to her high speed, such a cruiser could avoid engaging her enemies if she so wished while also being able to stand up against several Japanese battlecruisers due to her enhanced armament and armor. However, that project was never implemented either. Further work was focused on designing a heavy cruiser carrying 283 mm main guns.

Pros

Easy to shoot accurately at long ranges
Low Detectability.
High AA defense efficiency.

Cons

Long fire-extinguishing time; takes heavy damage from flooding.
No Anti-Submarine airstrikes.
