''{{#var:ship_name}}'' is a premium Tier VIII Pan-American cruiser.  Like other Pan-American cruisers, she has access to a special combat instruction, which heavily shapes her tactics.  However, ''{{#var:ship_name}}'''s combat instruction is somewhat unique:  Unlike the tech tree line, she does not need to land main battery hits to prepare &mdash; ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' merely needs to remain undetected for 50 seconds. The effect of the instructions is also unusual - Rather than improving the cooldown of consumables, ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' receives 30 seconds during which guns reload three times faster than normal.


''{{#var:ship_name}}'''s other noteworthy feature is her anti-aircraft defenses - she boasts among the strongest AA suites in the game, at any tier, handily out-damaging even Tier X ships, thanks to her excellent base damage numbers and access to the {{Defensive AA Fire}} consumable.  She can easily fend off lower and even-tier planes, (sometimes before they can even attack) and even Tier X squadrons will take heavy losses if attacking her or flying too close.

Much like the ''De Zeven Provinciën'' that it is based on, ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' is an exceptionally light cruiser. Her armor plating is average, and her HP pool only 33,900, meaning that she can not survive much concentrated fire. Her turning maneuverability is slightly better than ''De Zeven Provinciën'', but like her sister, her top speed is capped at only 32 knots.

</div>


That being said though, for having such mediocre defenses, ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' is a surprisingly survivable ship. Many AP shells will overpenetrate, and the submerged citadel is difficult to hit reliably. While captains should still avoid showing their broadside to enemies for extended periods, being spotted is far less likely to be a death sentence the way it is for other light cruisers such as ''Minotaur'' or ''Jinan''.

''{{#var:ship_name}}'' also benefits from being extremely narrow.  When pointing directly towards or away from an enemy, she presents a very small profile, causing many shells to simply miss. She also has quite good concealment for a cruiser - Fully built for it, her detection radius is only 9.6km by sea, and 6.9km by air. (Which exactly matches the range of her anti-aircraft guns.)

<h4>Armament:</h4>


The guns on ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' are fairly disappointing at first glance. Eight 152mm guns, mounted in four twin turrets, they are hurt by their reload time of seven seconds. The shell velocity is also on the low side, causing the shells to arc significantly, and giving them a max range of only 16km. While the high arc can be useful for attacking from behind islands, it also significantly increases the difficulty in hitting fast-moving, targets at range.

The HE rounds have a respectable 11% fire chance, but the AP struggles to penetrate heavily armored targets.  On the upside though, all of the guns can rotate the full 360 degrees, which gives captains a lot of flexibility in maneuvering, while still maintaining full firepower.
'''Continuous damage''' — average DPS within each action zone
 
{| class="wikitable" style="margin:0 0 0.8em 0; width:100%; color:inherit;"
All of this changes, however, when ''{{#var:ship_name}}'''s unique combat instruction is active. For 30 seconds, her guns fire at triple speed, significantly increasing her damage.  During this mode, she can easily out-damage anything at her tier, and is a threat to anything within range.  Even well-angled targets will take heavy damage from a barrage of HE shells, and multiple fires are all but guaranteed.

<h4>Anti-Aircraft:</h4>
|}
 
</div>
''{{#var:ship_name}}'''s anti-aircraft defenses are also quite formidable.  She has the same (exceptional) anti-aircraft mounts as ''De Zeven Provinciën'', but unlike her sister ship, also has access to the {{Defensive AA Fire}} consumable.  This allows ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' to boost her already top-tier anti-aircraft defenses into something incredible.  Even higher tier carriers will suffer significant losses if they attack, and anything even or lower tier is likely to lose the entire squadron.  (In extreme cases, sometimes before they even have a chance to attack.)

While ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' does possess flack batteries, the bulk of her threat to aircraft comes from the continuous damage AA mounts.  While technically they can damage planes as far as 6.9k, the full damage only applies to planes that make the mistake of flying within 4km of her.

<h4>Anti-Submarine:</h4>
|-
 
| style="color:inherit;" | • Max damage || style="color:inherit;" | 2000
The anti-submarine weapons of ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' are basic, ship-launched basic depth charges.  While ''{{#var:ship_name}}'''s maneuverability and narrow profile give her at least a fighting chance to dodge torpedoes, submarine hunting is usually better left to ships with access to plane-based ASW.

|-
<h4>Consumables:</h4>
| style="color:inherit;" | • Bombs per charge || style="color:inherit;" | 1
 
|-
In addition to the standard {{Damage Control Party}}, ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' has access to three charges each of {{Defensive AA Fire}} and {{Hydroacoustic Search}}. The {{Hydroacoustic Search}} has 5km detection range for ships, and 3.5km range for spotting torpedoes.
| style="color:inherit;" | • Reload time (sec) || style="color:inherit;" | 40.0

</div>
<h4>Play Style:</h4>
</div></div></div>
 
Due to the nature of her unique combat instructions, ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' plays extremely well as a hit-and-run ambusher.  A full concealment build is highly recommended, given how much her power depends on going dark and recharging her combat instructions.  Because she lacks any ability to heal, it is important to conserve health as much as possible.  Staying near islands and cover is important.
 
The best situation for ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' is one where she can attack freely for the full 30 seconds of combat instruction, without receiving return fire.  The most common ways to accomplish this are either by attacking over an island or from within smoke provided by an ally.


When such opportunities are not available, ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' does best when she can isolate a large target in such a way that the rest of the enemy team cannot shoot her.  (By taking partial cover behind an island, or similar.)  Attacking ships that are already engaged with a teammate is also a good approach.


In general, when combat instruction is not active, ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' should retreat, go dark, and wait for it to recharge if possible.  (Unless the enemy is close enough to death that she can finish it off with her lackluster normal DPM.)  Combat instruction is such a huge increase in damage that it is almost always worth holding fire and letting it recharge.  As a result, ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' captains should try to remain near islands when possible, and keep a general eye on the location of enemy destroyers, to make sure they can break visibility when needed.

Almirante Grau — Pan-America Premium Tier VIII Cruiser.

The flagships of the Peruvian Navy traditionally bear the name of Admiral Miguel Grau Seminario, with a total of five such ships in history. The third ship bearing this name was purchased from the Netherlands in 1973. Cruiser De Ruyter was laid down in 1939 in Schiedam and completed after the war according to a modified project, which included dual-purpose main battery guns and modern radar equipment. Almirante Grau had been the flagship of the Peruvian Navy for 45 years. At the time of her decommissioning, the ship was the last artillery cruiser belonging to any navy.
