Kolberg — German Tier III cruiser.

The entire new series of German light cruisers was equipped with turbines. The Kolberg class surpassed its predecessors in size and seafaring capability, with enhancements in both speed and gunnery. During World War I, the lead ship of the class participated in raids on Yarmouth and Scarborough, the Battle of Dogger Bank, and then tried to break through into the Gulf of Riga with the main forces of the fleet. Kolberg repeated her attempt at a breakthrough in Operation Albion - successfully this time. After World War I, the ship was handed over to the French Navy and was renamed "Colmar".

Performance

Similar to her immediate predecessor Dresden, Kolberg uses rapid-firing, light 105mm guns for her main armament. Not much is different between the two ships besides Kolberg having slightly more range and health once she's fully upgraded.

The catch is that — as a Tier III ship — Kolberg will see tougher opponents. Cruisers such as St. Louis and Bogatyr will make quick work of Kolberg in an even fight; Kolberg will also start to see more enemy battleships. She must be played more intelligently and more cautiously than Dresden, maximizing island cover, smoke clouds, and other obstacles to obstruct enemy lines of sight and minimize the number of ships that have shots on her at any given time. She is relatively nimble and can adjust her course and speed to help avoid incoming rounds from battleships, but enemy cruisers that are allowed to close with her will likely spell her doom.

What Kolberg excels at is killing enemy destroyers. She is faster and more agile than the likes of St. Louis — allowing her to better keep pace with destroyers and dodge their torpedoes — and her faster-firing guns make her an extreme threat. In this role, some Kolberg captains will also stay back near friendly battleships to help discourage enemy destroyers from charging allied capital ships.

Kolberg is a bit more challenging than the average Tier III cruiser, but as long as she is played to her strengths and focuses her efforts on enemy destroyers and wounded cruisers, her rapid-firing guns provide endless amusement.

Pros:

  • Rapid fire guns similar to Dresden.
  • Decently maneuverable, about in the middle in terms of speed.
  • Good rudder shift time.

Cons:

  • Falls off very hard against Tier IV cruisers.
  • Guns are practically worthless against armored targets.
  • Short range.
  • The Hull B upgrade lacks the torpedo tubes mentioned in the ship's in-game official description.

Research

Availability of researchable upgrades for Kolberg is as follows:

  • Main Battery: There is no main battery module upgrade, but access to the beginning of the German battleship branch (Nassau) stems from here.
  • Hull: Upgrade to Hull (B) for additional health and improved rudder shift time. Research of this module unlocks progression to Karlsruhe.
  • Gun Fire Control System: Upgrade to FKS Typ 3 mod. 2 for an extra 10% range on the main battery.
Kolberg only has two module upgrades to purchase, and which is chosen first is kind of a toss-up. The health gain from Hull (B) is so small that the range bonus from the Fire Control System upgrade might be more appealing to some captains. It's impossible to make a recommendation here; each captain should choose what suits their preferences best.
