Key Features of Prins van Oranje

• Heavy Armament: Equipped with twelve 234mm guns in three quadruple turrets, emphasizing a powerful main battery with high burst damage potential.
• Dutch Airstrike: Features a long-range, high-damage HE Bomb Airstrike, unique among cruisers, though with a longer cooldown and slower arrival times, making it ideal for hitting stationary targets.
• Strong AA Defense: Powerful anti-aircraft suite, effective at deterring air attacks.
• Enhanced Concealment: Excellent concealment enables ambush tactics and stealthy maneuvers.
• Consumables: Comes with Hydroacoustic Search to spot torpedoes and hidden ships and Defensive AA Fire to bolster air defenses.

Gameplay Tactics

• Open-Water Engagement: Best suited for mid-to-long-range combat in open waters, leveraging concealment and ballistics to stay effective while avoiding enemy focus.
• Support Role: Ideal for supporting friendly destroyers, using her heavy guns to pressure enemy cruisers and battleships from a safe distance.
• Target Stationary Enemies with Airstrike: While challenging to lead, the airstrike is powerful against static targets like snipers or ships hiding behind islands.
• Avoid Prolonged Fights with Battleships: Her armor and maneuverability are less effective against battleships; hit-and-run tactics are preferable.
• Stay Alert for Torpedoes: Due to limited maneuverability, be cautious of torpedo ambushes, especially in tight spots. Use Hydroacoustic Search proactively to detect threats early.
