Her anti-aircraft suite is satisfactory if unremarkable, and is approximately on par with German counterpart Yorck.ĭespite the British cruiser reputation for light armor, Fiji's belt armor is a surprisingly respectable 114 mm - much better than Russian Tier VII cruiser Shchors, and at least competitive with the armor protection of other nations - and can bounce a surprising amount of shells when angled. There's a subsequent increase to her detection radius, but she retains most of Leander’s handling characteristics Fiji’s turning circle is tighter, and her rudder shift is - for all intents and purposes - the same. She has an increased beam over Leander, which allowed her designers to fit triple-barreled turrets on her hull. ![]() Her unique mix of main battery and longer range torpedoes allow Fiji to hang in fights with equal-tier cruisers of other nations, and maintains her as a threat to enemy destroyers who wander too close.įirst-time Fiji captains may think that she feels big for a light cruiser, and they're right. At eight rounds per minute (a 7.5 second reload time), her main battery boasts the best rate of fire of all Tier VII cruisers, and she retains the 8.0 km maximum torpedo range of Leander’s upgraded torpedoes. As such, she is considerably up-gunned from Leander, and successors Edinburgh and Neptune boast identical configurations. If Tier VI's Leander is considered "settling in" to the back half of the British cruiser line, then the best advice for captains embarking aboard Tier VII's Fiji for the first time is "buckle up and enjoy the ride".įiji maintains the branch's theme of 152mm main battery rifles, but moves up to mounting twelve of them in four triple-barrel turrets. ![]() The data presented in the AA Defense sidebar section may be incorrect.įor a graphic summary of ships Tiers VIII thru XI see LittleWhiteMouse's "Actual AA DPS".
