London Tier VI British Heavy Cruiser
Main Characteristics of London.
London is a British County-class heavy cruiser. During World War II, she participated in the hunt for battleship Bismarck, and was involved in escorting Arctic convoys to the U.S.S.R. In the post-war period, the ship was engaged in protecting British interests in China. London went through several upgrades which significantly increased the ship's AA defences, and made her markedly distinct from other same-class cruisers. In the game, she is a well-armed ship for her tier, and comes equipped with the Smoke Generator consumable which is not usually found on heavy cruisers.
Key features:
Eight 203 mm guns placed in four turrets. The guns are peculiar for their decent HE shells with high chances of causing fire on the target
Two quadruple-tube torpedo launchers with tube-by-tube launching capabilities
Repair Party: partially restores the ship's HP during battle
Hydroacoustic Search: enables the spotting of enemy ships and torpedoes at distances of up to 3 km
Smoke Generator: an unusual consumable for a heavy cruiser
She earns more credits per battle, and her permanent camouflage adds a 50% XP bonus per battle and reduces the cost of the ship's post-battle service by 10%
