The modern warship, the Indonesian cruiser, is a featured ship in the game designed based on historical prototypes. This ship is recreated with the characteristics of high firepower and heavy armor, equipped with 12 152mm main guns, 12 100mm anti-aircraft guns, and torpedo tubes, boasting extremely powerful firepower. Despite its weaker mobility, its long-range suppression capability and the unique charm of its historical background have attracted a large number of players to try mastering this new ship. Below, we will give you a detailed introduction to the Indonesian cruiser.

The core advantage of the Indonesian cruiser lies in its powerful main gun firepower. The 152mm main guns have a long range and high single-shot damage, suitable for mid to long-range suppression of enemy battleships or fixed targets. In the game, players can prioritize upgrading the main gun accuracy and reload speed, for example, choosing the TMF155 or AK-130 series; the former is suitable for stable output, while the latter excels at burst strikes. However, the ship has sluggish turning and slow speed, so it should avoid advancing alone, especially in complex waters where it easily becomes a target for submarines or destroyers. The air defense system is key to the survival of the ship, and in the game, the combination of SeaRAM and Pantsir can compensate for the shortcomings in air defense. SeaRAM intercepts high-speed missiles, and Pantsir deals with dense aerial attacks. It is recommended to configure at least 4 groups of air defense units. For the torpedo system, the Mark-48 is recommended, which, with its short reload time and high speed, can effectively counter close threats.

The Indonesian cruiser performs best in positional warfare. For example, in the point capture mode, it can hold positions at the edge of the map's mountains or islands, using terrain to shield the hull and reduce the risk of being focused. When facing an enemy carrier's airstrike, maintain a zigzag maneuver and prioritize shooting down torpedo bombers. Against battleships, avoid direct confrontation. By retreating while firing, one can wear down the opponent, and use AP shells to attack below their turrets or engine rooms, triggering module damage. However, note that although the ship has thick armor, its side protection is weak, requiring constant adjustment of angles to avoid penetrating the core area.

In a team, the Indonesian cruiser can also play the role of fire support. When paired with destroyers, it can provide long-range cover, suppressing enemy point-capturing units; when teamed up with carriers, it needs to focus on air defense, protecting the fleet from airstrikes. In escort missions, the ship is suitable for stationing in the middle of the escort route, using its main guns to intercept enemy raiders, allowing teammates to safely eliminate other enemies. The weakness of the Indonesian cruiser lies in its mobility and anti-submarine capabilities, unable to flexibly change direction and dodge sudden attacks. In actual combat, it is suggested to pair it with an anti-submarine destroyer or helicopter to make up for the underwater defense gap. If there are narrow waterways on the map, everyone should advance cautiously to avoid being ambushed by torpedoes during the advance.

For players just starting to use the modern warship, the Indonesian cruiser, it is recommended to practice gunnery and positioning in PVE scenarios initially, familiarizing themselves with trajectory drop and lead calculation. In subsequent modifications, it is suggested to prioritize enhancing main gun reload and air defense range, delaying torpedo upgrades. Experienced players can try the extreme configuration of all AP shells, specializing in medium to close-range bursts, but relying on teammate cover. From precise long-range firepower suppression to默契配合的团队协作,印尼巡洋舰要求玩家在机动性与高输出之间找到平衡,利用自己的操作手法发挥其特点,为己方带来更大的优势。
