Albemarle Tier VIII British Heavy Cruiser
British Heavy Cruiser 
ALBEMARLE
ALBEMARLE | A project for a well-protected heavy cruiser drafted shortly after the outbreak of World War II. One of the fundamental differences in comparison to ships of previous generations was the placement of the main battery guns in three-gun turrets. |
Main Characteristics of Albemarle.
Albemarle was a heavy cruiser design and the first ship planned to feature triple-gun main turrets in the history of British shipbuilding. In World of Warships, this ship is notable for her ability to deal decent damage with a single salvo and her pretty powerful AA defences.
* Nine 203 mm guns placed in three turrets. The guns are peculiar for their decent HE shells that have impressive damage-dealing capabilities and high chances of causing fire on a target. Their firing range can be extended further with the help of the Spotting Aircraft consumable
* Two quadruple-torpedo tubes. Torpedo range: 10 km
* The Repair Party consumable allows you to restore the majority of any damage that might be caused to your ship's citadel
* You can choose between the Defensive AA Fire consumable to counter enemy carriers or the Hydroacoustic Search consumable to fight enemy destroyers
* Decent concealment for her type and tier
* The ship comes with a Commander with 3 skill points and a Port slot (Bundle Only)
