Key Features

• Main Battery: Svea’s 152mm main battery has seven barrels with a fast reload, good ballistics, and improved dispersion for excellent gunnery.
• Concealment & Torpedoes: The cruiser boasts good concealment, a solid anti-aircraft suite, and long-range, fast-reloading torpedoes.
• Unique Consumables: Svea is equipped with strong consumables including Emergency Engine Power, Repair Party, Surveillance Radar, and a Smoke Generator, all with short action times and quick reloads.
• Balancing Factors: To balance these strengths, Svea has a low HP pool, weak armor, and a limited main battery range.

Gameplay

• Concealment & Support: Utilize Svea’s good concealment to support friendly destroyers at close range and surprise enemy destroyers with Surveillance Radar.
• Avoiding Fire: Employ Emergency Engine Power and Smoke Generator to evade enemy fire.
• Healing: Use Repair Party to recover health between skirmishes and prepare for the next engagement once consumables are recharged.
• Consumable Management: Effective use and timing of Svea’s consumables are crucial for success in battle.
