DescriptionThis ship build is designed to be very selective in her engagements. As many know by now, most things that touch Belfast '43 slaps it pretty hard. The solution is-- don't get spotted at all. You have lots of flexibility with Smogathon, and your concealment is pretty good which allows you to get into a good position. Your concealment is just on the edge of being a stealth radar build, but it's close enough that you can use it to detect any destroyers that spot you, and hopefully your team supports you. As long as you have team support, this ship build is amazing, and makes Belfast '43 fun. Is she the best? No. But she is loads of fun with this build.
