As such, Cruiser Captains must make it a point always to be mindful of where his fleet’s Battleship is on the map. They hit pretty hard when they do hit, though. Most Cruisers in-game are fast enough to follow and lock in on enemy aircraft squadrons, forcing them to fall back or get shot down by the Cruiser’s decent Anti-air Armaments. Her AP shell flight characteristics are abysmal past 11km. 1 Posted J(edited) I've been playing Wows since October 2015 and since around November I'm absolutely in love for the german ships (cruisers and battleships).

The name is most likely a reference to Otto von Bismarck's "Blood and Iron" speech: Tier VII German cruiser Yorck: HE and AP shells’ 10 km flight time has been reduced from 5.65 and 6.72 seconds to 5.09 and 5.14 seconds accordingly. 174k damage, 44k from HE shells and 43k from fires.

The Iron Blood in-game depictions tend toward a militarist depiction, in-line with the militarism present in Nazi Germany during World War II. Play these just like other cruisers (and be a bit sad about their reduced effectiveness at long range).
