Cruiser

The cruiser is the first dedicated long range bombardment ship. Unlocked at level 41. The cruiser is less versatile then the Destroyer, as it fills mostly the long range bombardment ship role. Its weapons are wide spread, making it a poor choice against small fast ships. It is however, the first ship that can mount heavy weapons. The cruiser is a good ship against other cruisers, battleships, and carriers. It is however, outclassed by the battleship and carrier for long range bombardment, and is not very common on the battlefield. It is used mostly at medium ranges, supporting destroyers and smaller battleships and carriers. It is very much like the frigate, a ship that can fill several roles, and is not very good at either. It is also much larger then a destroyer and can easily be hit by any ship, and it the first ship that is dangerously vulnerable to PTs. And as such is generally avoided. However it is a popular choice for repair ship over the destroyer, due to its higher HP and it seems to heal faster (Unproven).

 * Good weapon selection
