Pioneer — Commonwealth Special Tier X Cruiser.

A further development of the light cruiser design, armed with sixteen 152 mm guns—a configuration considered in Great Britain in the late 1930s. The arrangement is distinctive in that it concentrates three of the four main battery turrets—and thus most of the ship’s firepower—in the forward section. Had she been embodied in metal after World War II, the cruiser could have been transferred to a Commonwealth country.

Pros

High damage per minute with HE shells.
Access to Surveillance Radar consumable with special characteristics.
Long-range Submarine Surveillance consumable.

Cons

Short main battery firing range.
Short-range torpedoes.
