Light Cruisers (CL) are agile ships bristling with multiple medium caliber guns. CL's perform two main functions within battle:
A light cruiser is a support vessel that helps the team by providing cover from enemy planes. CL's should primarily look for scouts and bomber squadrons to shoot them down with AA fire.
CL's are relatively small compared to battleships (BB) and Aircraft Carriers (CV). In general CL's tend to be targeted less by larger ships because of their small size.
When doing your role correctly, enemy BB's and CV's will be trying to sink you first, because you are stopping them scouting and bombing your team.
When you get your first CL, you will be using high explosive (HE) ammo to sink smaller ships. But don't forget to load AA and HE ammo as well. A flexible CL is better equipped to support his team, able to fend off air aggressors and small ship rushes. Always have AA and HE ammo loaded.
When it comes time to practicing AA, the same rules apply for leading a target. Your shells have to travel, and the planes are tiny targets to hit. When your guns are accurate enough they will form a line through the sky and could hit multiple targets at once.
Manual AA increases your gun accuracy. After plenty of practice you will be hitting targets with ease.
Light cruisers excel at capturing bases because they are quick. Coupled with excellent AA capabilities and strong landing officers, a CL can capture a base and not get shot at as easily as other ship classes.
- They target enemy planes with AA fire.
- They target destroyers and light cruiser.
