Plunderer class heavy cruiser

Now with new people in charge for the navy, the Corsair-class was deemed outdated as they were converted Mikhail pre-drednought battleships.

 

The Rabid Plunderer has a much better beam to length ratio, this gives her 32 knots maximum speed. This is the perfect ship for raiding purposes, high speed and heavy armament, but can run away from battleships that can easily penetrate this cruiser's armor.

However, from the second line she can deal quite some damage with her heavy armament.

 

Armament:

- 6 250mm guns

-10 150mm guns

-4x2 21 inch torpedo tubes

-quad 40mm pom pom

-8 25mm AA guns (2 dual, 4 single mount)

 

Speed:

-32 knots

 

4th wall: So before anyone jumps on me for those guns, this is a smaller and faster version of the Deutschland class. As it was laid down 5 years from the current year, I mounted smaller guns and in more turrets. In my opinion the speed is also good, there is a heavy cruiser in-game with 12 8" guns that goes 30 knots, considering I have half that amount of bigger guns 32 knots should be okay.
