Even with low armour, speed isnt as god as other cruisers maxed out. But yeah, it is not the worse ship I've ever played, but only just. The Leipzig and Koingsberg were worse ships than this.

Good advice, I've never seen the value of the 8inch guns. Not that they are bad guns, but they weigh way too much for me to had ever used them without shaving off even more armour.
