Cruisers
Cruisers are versatile warships that balance firepower, speed, and protection. They played crucial roles in naval warfare as scouts, escorts, and commerce raiders. In World of Warships, cruisers are adaptable vessels capable of supporting teammates with anti-aircraft fire, hunting destroyers, or harassing larger ships with rapid-firing guns and maneuverability.
