DescriptionBest part about the Riga is its incredible survivability. Compared to every other ship in the game, the good mix between excellent armor and a good rudder makes it capable of dodging or ricocheting battleships salvos from even ships like Yamato. The Riga also gets good speed, a long range radar, and improved dispersion below 12km, just like her cousins in the BB line. All of these factors make the Riga an incredibly powerful offensive ship. The flat shell arcs however, are one of this ships greatest strengths and weaknesses. It makes it difficult to citadel BB’s and cruisers, so playing between 9-14km is best for this ship. As soon as you see an opportunity, use it to push up and punish reds with the great AP
