Mainz: Tier VIII German Premium Cruiser 1936
In 1936, Germany ordered two cruisers armed with 150 mm guns housed in four triple-gun turrets. However, the cruisers were designed in such a way that their barbettes were identical to those of cruisers carrying 203 mm guns, which could easily be mounted instead of the 150 mm ones. That replacement was made in 1937, even before the ships had been launched.

Key Features:
- Twelve 150 mm guns placed in four turrets. The cruiser boasts artillery with a flat ballistic trajectory and short reload time of just 6 seconds
- Four quadruple-tube torpedo launchers will provide you with effective means to destroy your enemy in close quarters combat. Torpedo range—6 km
- Access to the Hydroacoustic Search consumable. Ship-spotting range—6 km; torpedo-spotting range—4 km
- She has a decent AA defense System for her tier, which is additionally enhanced with the Fighter and Defensive AA Fire consumables. The latter can be mounted instead of Hydroacoustic Search
- She is slow for a light cruiser: maximum speed—32 knots
- She earns more credits per battle, and her permanent camouflage adds a 50% XP bonus per battle and reduces the credit cost of the ship's post-battle service by 10%
