Her anti-aircraft defenses have been buffed to be more historically accurate, as she gains four quadruple 40mm Bofors mounts along with copious quantities of 20mm Oerlikons. She has a few more hit points than she used to, along with another kilometer of main battery firing range. To help compensate for the tougher competition she now faces, Cleveland has undergone some notable changes. No longer will she be able to bully inter-war cruisers and dreadnoughts Cleveland must now square off against her World War II contemporaries, including some very formidable Tier X opponents. Veteran Cleveland captains will find themselves in unfamiliar territory after Update 0.7.5, as the most popular cruiser in World of Warships moves from its old home at Tier VI to new digs at Tier VIII. The data presented in the AA Defense sidebar section may be incorrect.įor a graphic summary of ships Tiers VIII thru XI see LittleWhiteMouse's "Actual AA DPS". As far as tier 9s go, it's a pretty good one.Warning. I fully intend to skip Seattle, but I currently don't have the credits or a captain for the Worchester.

I skipped Lyon, Alsace and a bout a third of the Buffalo grind, as well as some low-tier boats.Īnd I'm not sorry. I used free EXP to skip over a bunch of ships. I know the T10's are worth it, but I just can't face it.and I refuse to use FreeXP as I'm waiting to hear how the Alaska is going to be sold. With the exception of the Iowa and Udaloi, I haven't purchased the other ships purely because of facing the T9 grind in ships that are supposed to be rubbish. Worchester does need IFHE as much as the Cleveland, though.Ĭurrently, I have unlocked but not purchased, the DM Donskoi, Ibuki, Seattle, Iowa, Udaloi and almost done on the Buffalo. Those are some leathal (but rather squishy) deathmachines. Originally posted by Torchfire:Also, note that both tier 9 USN cruisers (Seattle and Buffalo) are pretty much total crap.
