DescriptionVery survivable setup here, that's transferrable to other ships. The preventative fire/flooding suppression is something you don't notice (because it's working), but the extra heal charges and mobility enough to come alongside friendlies and Will to Rebuild keep this ship going for far longer than the reds would be comfortable with. You wouldn't think cruiser secondaries are worth investing in, but I've found reasonable help with firestarting or whittling down DDs as the main batteries reload. If you don't want to spec into secondaries, substitute Takagi or Jellicoe for von Hipper to increase your healing capacity. Remember, you are in a cruiser, so remember to be mobile and angle in. You are survivable, but not invincible. GLAFS.
