So you just reached level 25 and you can’t decide whether or not to buy the USS CG(X)-21<\/a>. I mean, it definitely looks good at first glance, judging by the equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n

However, 70 000 000 dollars is a lot of money for a cruiser. And you don’t know the ideal playstyle of the ship or the types of enemies it can effectively combat. That’s why I exist. This is not a joke. The owner of this website is holding me captive here until I write 1984 articles. Please send help.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pros<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

CG(X) is very good for medium to long range surface combat. Yes, it can work at close range, but not against all ships. I’ll list the ships you should avoid with CG(X) later. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

CG(X) is good for surface combat specifically against fast-moving targets. It has no grenade launchers<\/a> or torpedoes<\/a> which tend to miss fast, maneuverable targets. Instead, it has lock-on or auto-aim weaponry such as missiles<\/a> and autocannons<\/a>. It also has cannons<\/a> that are more accurate at longer ranges than grenade launchers but do not work as well at close range. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While most cruisers get three missiles, CG(X) gets four. It also has two cannons like its smaller siblings USS Vella Gulf (CG-72)<\/a> and USS Port Royal (CG-73)<\/a> while Russian cruisers only get one. This means there are not many surface ships that can beat CG(X) in terms of firepower. Exceptions are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
