Leipzig Commemorative Flag.

The black lion with red claws and tongue depicted on the coat of arms of Leipzig symbolizes the Margravate of Meissen. The city was part of this margravate in the Middle Ages. Next to the lion are the blue Landsberg pillars, which have become the heraldic symbol of many Saxon principalities.

 

 

Key Features oF Leipzig:

Leipzig, like her sister ship – researchable cruiser Nürnberg – is armed with nine 150mm main battery guns and four triple torpedo tubes and is equipped with HE shells that have high armour penetration capabilities and AP shells with high damage. She has good concealment and the trademark German Hydroacoustic Search consumable. However, she has weak armour and AA weapons, as well as a slow main battery turret traverse speed.

Unlike Nürnberg, Leipzig's gameplay is weighted toward torpedo attacks, as her torpedoes have a high range. Because of this, as well as her good concealment, the ship can attack targets with torpedoes from a comfortable range while remaining undetected.
