Pre-nerfs i would have said Destroyers, but with the recent patches(DD nerfs) I have to question whether or not a team is better off with cruisers. What do you think?

DDs' ability to play the objectives are crucial. However, the versatility of cruisers means that they can fill many roles that the team needs once losses are taken.

But both have equal chance of carrying in my opionion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In a game full of DDs and BBs, however, the right cruiser is certainly more valuable than another DD. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is hard to choose between them - you should have had the choice of 'either'. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
