Is Mainz good?
Mainz tanks better than most heavy cruisers, with an HP total that beats them outright once fully trained, rare medium armor, and a frontal shield that both cuts incoming damage and fires back an aimed barrage once it breaks. Her extra main-gun slot lets her put out more sustained damage than her middling gun modifiers suggest, and where she's placed in the fleet actually changes her role: up front she's tankier and more mobile, further back she hits harder with boosted crit damage.
Evasion and speed are her weak points, about as poor as a heavy cruiser's despite being a light cruiser.
Strengths
- HP total that beats most heavy cruisers outright
- Frontal shield reduces damage and retaliates when it breaks
- Extra main-gun slot for strong sustained damage
Weaknesses
- Evasion and speed are poor for a light cruiser
Background
Mainz was an alternative design proposal to the Admiral Hipper class. Dutiful and strongly responsible, she devotes herself wholeheartedly to the commander and the fleet, though the one thing she never compromises on is her particular taste in coffee. She asks the commander to make her waiting period worthwhile.
