Plymouth has low hit points for a tier X cruiser, though she compensates for this with a Repair Party, and a very low detection range, which can be brought to within a couple hundred meters of her radar range. This means Plymouth can fight bow-on to ships with 228mm guns and smaller (that do not overmatch her), but must position correctly to avoid taking devastating damage from larger caliber shells. Furthermore, Minotaur has a section of 14mm plating on her bow which can be overmatched and exploited by any shell 201mm or larger to citadel her, Plymouth does NOT have this weakness. She also lacks a vertical step up in her citadel which is found on Minotaur, meaning she doesn’t take as many trollish citadel hits. In addition, this armor belt is 114mm and can be used by experienced captains to bounce any AP shell in the game when angled correctly. In comparison with her Tier X counterpart Minotaur, she has a thicker armor belt and midsection, preventing her from getting citadeled by HE shells from most ships. Plymouth has 16mm bow and stern armor, which can be overmatched by 229mm shells and larger, meaning battleship and even large cruiser guns ( Goliath, Henri IV) can penetrate her citadel from any angle, but she is protected against ships like Des Moines and Petropavlovsk. Plymouth takes an already strong package in the British light cruiser, and rounds it out with the ability to radar from within the concealment of her smoke, all while screening for torps with her hydro. While also getting Surveillance Radar in its own slot, four extra barrels on her main battery, a faster rate of fire, two extra torpedo tubes, better concealment, and a Tier X heath pool. Plymouth builds on the Tier VIII Edinburgh, maintaining great maneuverability, unique AP shells, a large 114mm armor belt, and strong set of consumables Repair Party, Smoke Generator, and Hydroacoustic Search. The quadruple turrets were eventually dropped from the design due to the difficulty of manufacturing them. Plymouth was an initial design of the Edinburgh series of Town-Class cruisers, the ship was designed with a main battery armament of sixteen 6 in guns, mounted in four turrets, while retaining her maneuverability by also slightly increasing her dimensions.
