Section 21 of 38

RN CAs (Goliath Line)

Standard build

  • RN Goliath CA line are mid range damage farming kite cruisers with hard hitting HE salvoes, high HE armor pen, and high fire chance. Superheal keeps these ships alive, but their vulnerable citadels makes misplays more punishing
  • This build is a standard DPS CA build that maximises concealment for maximum possible engagement control, while also buffing firepower in a reasonable way.
  • Slot 6 Range mod is taken due to the short base range of 16.8km and lack of spotter
    • You can take reload mod if you are comfortable operating at closer ranges
    • Drake can take reload mod as spotter plane is available
  • Dunkirk or Cunninham are useful for their enhanced Consumable Specialist
  • If you don’t have the Hydro mod, use ERP.
  • Applies to Hawkins, Exeter, Devonshire, London, Surrey, Albemarle, Cheshire, Nottingham, Drake, Goliath and Defence.

Goliath

Damage build

  • This build maximises damage output while still retaining some semblance of concealment for engagement control. You will have to play from a longer range compared to the standard build, and won’t be able to control your engagements as well. It only applies to Goliath due to her pretty good survivability and good HE.
  • Dunkirk is a decent captain due to his improved GtG skill.
  • If you don’t have the Hydro mod, use ERP.
