VIII Johan de Witt - WoWS: Legends | Stats + Builds

An alternative project to the one for the cruiser from back in 1939—it preserved the armament comprising nine 240 mm guns and offered appropriate armor and speed but presupposed greater displacement.

Frustrating and inconsistent guns and a very large target that does not hold up well under sustained fire.
