Vanadis - Tier X European Cruiser
Further development of the Tre Kronor with its main battery concentrated in triple turrets, and a modern anti-aircraft battery of 40mm and 57mm guns. An increased torpedo armament is also carried to improve the vessel’s chances in combat with likely Soviet forces
The name is a reference to the goddess Freya and signifies her status as daughter of the Vanir—a group of gods in Norse mythology.

Key Features and Battle Tips - Tier VIII to Tier X Cruisers
Key Features
- Heavy Torpedo Armament: Long-range, high-speed torpedoes with high tube counts at top tiers (up to 10 tubes per side at Tier X), balanced by lower alpha damage and longer reload times.
- High Speed and Engine Boost: Exceptional base speed enhanced by a time-based Emergency Engine Power consumable featuring a large time reserve.
- Enhanced Concealment and Fragile Armor: Superb concealment paired with thin, vulnerable armor protection.
- High DPM, Short-Range Guns: Main battery boasts strong damage per minute, restricted by low maximum firing range.
- Upgraded Survivability Consumable: Improved Repair Party with an additional charge available starting at Tier VIII.
- No Conventional Utility Consumables: Lacks standard cruiser utility options like Hydroacoustic Search, Smoke Generator, or Surveillance Radar.
Battle Tips
- Leverage Stealth and Mobility: Utilize your low detectability, high base speed, and time-based Emergency Engine Power (with its generous reserve) to take aggressive positions on the flanks, drop torpedoes at close range, and disengage swiftly.
- Rely on Island Cover or Allied Smoke: Because you lack personal Smoke Generators, Hydroacoustic Search, and Radar, along with having short main gun range, you must use line-of-sight cover or allied consumables to fire your guns safely.
- Play to Area Denial: Use your long-range, high-speed torpedoes—especially the massive 10-tube-per-side broadside at Tier X—to deny key areas and deal heavy salvo damage, compensating for lower individual torpedo damage.
- Mind the Armor Deficit: Avoid getting caught in open water while spotted. Your paper-thin armor means you will take massive punishment if targeted directly during mid-maneuvers.
- Manage Consumable Charges: Make active use of your improved Repair Party (which gains an extra charge at Tier VIII+) to sustain through trades and chip damage.
