What would British Cruisers be like?

Guns are accurate with average high RoF (expect 8 rpm) but not as fast and flat in flight like German, Russian or IJN Mogami.  But not as archy as the USN.  

 

Unlike USN ships, RN ships got torpedoes.   Expect longer ranged torpedoes than German or Russian, close to Japanese but not quite.

 

Expect them to be frail as well.  

 

The British cruiser line is expected to be mostly light cruisers, so don't expect Exeter, stuff like that unless its premium.  The RN has a predisposition for light cruisers, with heavy cruisers only as a minority.

 

They will also have 9 and 12 gun light cruisers as well.  Like the Russian ships, you are going to see the Cleveland types but with torpedoes.

They should also have pretty good AA in higher tiers.

Warspite shares a few AA and DP mounts with other RN ships, so you know what to expect.

Decent torps, weaker guns, good AA, average armor and speed. Probably they're going to support ships.

 

Heavy-cruisers line is lacking though, we need at least 4 papers to fill T4, 8,9 and 10. Their 203mm guns are somewhat weaker due to the light shell mass, but the bursting charge is good though am not sure Lesta would use it to balance.

 

Light-cruisers branch should be enough to fill up the lines. Their 6" have good velocity better than USN 6"/47 with lighter shells but it shouldn't affect their trajectory much.

 

Their torpedoes is better than German and USN at start of the war, but not that strong compare to Japanese torpedoes.

Actually I'm looking for something that can redeem the USN cruisers from the bottom....

 

Sorry to say but british are likely to be the USN but better. British used much the same medium and short ranged AA guns as the americans after all.
