Tianjin - Pan-Asian Tier IX Premium Cruiser 1943

 Tianjin - Pan-Asian Tier IX Premium Cruiser 1943 (How to Obtain during 13.1)

A heavy cruiser with a similar design to the early version of Soviet Project 82 (Riga), initially equipped with nine 220 mm guns as her main armament. The ship's main battery guns are complemented by dual-purpose anti-aircraft guns that had been developed by the mid-1950s, around the time when the ship might have been transferred to the People's Republic of China Navy.

Tianjin Commemorative Flag

Tianjin, which translates to "Heavenly Harbor" in Chinese, ranks as the third-largest municipality in the People's Republic of China, following Shanghai and Beijing. Since the Yuan Dynasty, Tianjin has maintained its significance as a vital port city and trading hub in China.

 

 

Key Features:

Consumables are represented by a Fast Damage Control Team, Repair Party, and a choice between Fighter or Spotting Aircraft in the same slot.

Gameplay:

Good positioning is essential for Tianjin to unlock her full potential, since the manoeuvrability of the ship is lacking, it might not be so easy to escape unfavourable situations. Consistently landing your salvos from a medium distance would be considered optimal gameplay for Tianjin. However, good survivability helps this ship to take more damage than an average cruiser, which can help Tianjin prevail in certain close combat situations.
