München B: Tier VII German Premium Light Cruiser 1938 (Cost Revealed)

 

  München B: Tier VII German Premium Light Cruiser 1938 (Black Friday 2024)

The German plan provided for the presence of thirteen light cruisers, six of which had already been built by the beginning of 1939. There were plans to add six more cruisers with an enhanced design. Unlike the preceding classes, they were supposed to have an improved range and higher speed. In 1938 and 1939, six ships were ordered, two of which were laid down in Kiel and Wilhelmshaven in 1938. In September 1939, the construction of the ships was cancelled due to the outbreak of World War II, and all laid-down cruisers were demolished on the stocks.

Strengths and Weaknesses

Strengths:

• High Maneuverability: With a top speed of 36 knots and a tight turning radius, the München can dodge incoming fire effectively.
• Good Concealment: Its low detectability range allows it to engage and disengage from battles on its own terms.
• Effective HE Shells: The high-explosive shells have good penetration and a decent chance of causing fires.
• Strong AP Performance: The armor-piercing shells can deal significant damage, especially to lightly armored targets.
• Hydroacoustic Search: This ability helps detect torpedoes and ships within a 5.5 km range, providing an edge in close encounters.

Weaknesses:

• Light Armor: The München is vulnerable to heavy fire, especially from battleships and heavy cruisers.
• Short Torpedo Range: Its torpedoes have a range of only 6 km, which requires getting relatively close to the enemy.
• Skill-Dependent: Maximizing its potential requires good positioning and maneuvering skills.
