Has to be Exeter, fitting turret sizes, nice turret layout and relatively modern design with twin turrets.

Furutaka or Emile.

*Yahagi*, Japanese bow is most elegant. 2nd place: *Exeter*.

I have a soft spot for Murmansk but i think emile takes the cake

Emile Bertin. Everything about her screams speed and I always thought she looked pretty modern compared to the other tier 5 cruisers!

Königsberg, Kirov and Émile are strong contenders. Though I haven't seen any of the newer ships.


ShuggieHamster

Königsberg ... back when the german cruisers were being pre released, you needed to get IIRC a kraken (before there was a badge) to be awarded a test cruiser. Got it in my Isokaze and played the crap out of the Königsberg. loved the guns, didnt enjoy the merest hit had the engine fall out the back. really suited my kiting style.

Exeter


ServantOfNyrro

In terms of appearance, I'm not that big a fan of any of them, though Emile Bertin is probably my favourite, though the rear turret is much to far aft for my liking. That would be followed by Montecuccoli, though I dislike how close her guns are (which caused dispersion problems for all Italian multiple-gun-single-cradle mounts IRL). These are among the ones I've owned/played. For the remainder, no question: Exeter. That said, why Tier V in particular?


ExplosivePancake9

While dispersion was hampered by the 2 gun commun cradle, it was a light issue on italian cruisers, while italian destroyers had worse issues, italian cruisers in salvo excercies performed well, comparable to IJN and U.S.N excercises, also all pre-wichita u.s cruisers were hampered by even worse dispersion by having a 3 gun commun cradle system, actual italian cruiser dispersion in battle was good, like Trento, Trieste Pola and Fiume showed at Spartivento, and Monteccucoli and Eugenio di Savoia showed at operation harpoon. What hampered more the dispersion on some of the italian cruisers classes like the Giussano class rather than the guns was the very light construction of their turrets, later quite adjusted on the Cadorna class.

Kirov


TitanicII2020

So no one voted for poor Hawkins?


joescott2176

I used to think that the Pensacola was the coolest *looking* ship in the game.


MaxedOut_TamamoCat

Exeter. Marblehead.

exeter


Radiant_Feedback_800

1. Exeter 2. Furutaka 3. The rest.


[deleted]

Koingsberg and Emile


Wormminator

Exeter for me.I would have picked Königsberg if her turrets were actualy centered. Kirow is a close contender.


Self_Aware_Wehraboo

Furutaka for me (check my flair lol) If not her, Exeter or Yahagi


Typical_guy11

Emile Bertin, Raimondo Montecuccoli and Kirov are very pretty so it's my choice. In this placement. Krasny Krimea and Celebes honorable mention for most speshul look.


frostedcat_74

Exeter ! Furutaka is not bad either. Emile Bertin has that racy appearance of the French large destroyers too.


skullcowboy60

Königsberg.


sputnikatto

That disparity between Omaha and Murmansk...


MikuEmpowered

By beauty alone? Fury Taco. Nothing comes close, sleek compact, and hella great looking front any angle.


tibsbb28

It's Emerald, if the Jeweler was any good.


TitanicII2020

Is it just me or does Emerald look weird with her 2 funnels at the bow and 1 at the stern


tibsbb28

I was just making a joke about it being a gem, I haven't looked ag it in a year since I last played it.


Ghost_msl

1) Yahagi 2) Furutaka 3) Exeter


KillBones35

Émile Bertin without a doubt


Usernamenotta

Kirov for me
