Unie - Tier X Dutch Premium Cruiser

A hypothetical post-war Dutch cruiser design and a further development of the De Zeven Provinciën class with a focus on enhancing the ship's air defense. The cruiser's main battery is represented by dual-purpose 120 mm Bofors guns, adopted into service by the Royal Netherlands Navy in the early 1950s. The ship’s name “Union” came from the Age of Sail and was traditional for Dutch ships during the 17th and 18th centuries.

Key Features and Battle Tips

Unie: Key Features

• High-DPM Main Battery: Equipped with six twin 120mm Swedish-designed guns that feature a very fast reload time.
• Rapid HE Airstrike: Access to a signature Dutch Airstrike with a short reload, high bomb damage, and excellent armor penetration.
• Aggressive Consumable Suite: Features a unique combination of Smoke Generator, Emergency Engine Power, and a fast-reloading Repair Party.
• Excellent Stealth: Strong base concealment that allows the ship to take up influential positions closer to the front lines.

Unie: Battle Tips

• Beware of Torpedoes: Since the ship lacks Hydroacoustic Search, you are highly vulnerable to torpedoes while sitting inside your smoke screen.
• Manage Your Range: Your ballistics are less favorable and your range is short; avoid long-distance duels and focus on mid-to-close range support.
• Cycle Your Airstrikes: Because the Airstrike has a short reload time and only one charge, use it frequently to punish stationary targets or enemies behind islands.
• Coordinate for Spotting: As a light cruiser with a small HP pool, work closely with friendly destroyers to spot targets while you provide high-volume cover fire.
• Utilize Mobility: Use the Emergency Engine Power to quickly reposition or escape dangerous situations when your thin armor is targeted by large-caliber shells.
