NL CAs (Goulden Leeuw Line)

• Dutch CA line that specializes in long range airstrikes that devastate stationary or island hugging targets. Fast reloading repair party and some of the strongest AA in the game protect the ship, though their less accurate main guns let them down in direct gunfights
• This build is a standard DPS CA build, adapted for NL CAs, that takes full advantage of their airstrike gimmick while also buffing firepower in a reasonable way.
• Slot 6 Range mod allows for extra flexibility in target selection, but reload mod is fine if you are comfortable operating at close range
• Outnumbered is preferred as it almost buffs accuracy to cruiser level when active
• Airstrike mod is the optimal slot 4 choice, but you may swap it for the acceleration mod if you don’t feel comfortable without it.
• UU is still recommended for Goulden Leeuw as it enhances her airstrike gimmick. Feels more comfortable to use due to the extra range
• If you don’t have the Hydro mod, use DCM1. Tier 7 and below should use ERP instead
• For Kijkduin and Eendracht, use prop mod as extra survivability is preferred over faster reloading airstrikes
• Applies to Gelderland,Java, De Ruyter, Celebes, Kijkduin, Eendracht, Haarlem, Johan de Witt, Van Speijk and Gouden Leeuw.
• It is highly recommended to familiarize yourself with ship deck armor to know which decks you can pen, and which you can’t
  • Ex. GL bombs can pen 37mm, which will pen Des Moines, but not Moskva deck armor
