German cruiser Leipzig, Tier VI
A light cruiser, a development of the Königsberg-class ships, which differs from its predecessors by a different turret layout and slightly modified defenses.
Leipzig, like her sister ship – researchable cruiser Nürnberg – is armed with nine 150mm main battery guns and four triple torpedo tubes, and is equipped with HE shells that have high armor penetration capabilities and AP shells with high damage. She has good concealment and the trademark German Hydroacoustic Search consumable. However, she has weak armor and AA weapons, as well as a slow main battery turret traverse speed.
Unlike Nürnberg, Leipzig’s gameplay is weighted toward torpedo attacks, as her torpedoes have a high range. Because of this, as well as her good concealment, the ship can attack targets with torpedoes from a comfortable range while remaining undetected.

Incrociatore tedesco Lipsia, livello VI
Un incrociatore leggero, uno sviluppo delle navi di classe Königsberg, che si differenzia dai suoi predecessori per una diversa disposizione della torretta e difese leggermente modificate.
Leipzig, come la sua nave gemella, l’incrociatore ricercabile Nürnberg, è armata con nove cannoni della batteria principale da 150 mm e quattro tubi lanciasiluri tripli, ed è equipaggiata con proiettili HE con elevate capacità di penetrazione dell’armatura e proiettili AP con danno elevato. Ha un buon occultamento e il consumabile Ricerca idroacustica tedesca del marchio. Tuttavia, ha un’armatura debole e armi contraeree appena sufficienti, oltre a una bassa velocità di spostamento della torretta della batteria principale.
A differenza di Nürnberg, il gameplay di Leipzig è orientato agli attacchi con i siluri, poiché i suoi siluri hanno una portata elevata. Per questo motivo, oltre al suo buon occultamento, la nave può attaccare bersagli con siluri da una distanza comoda senza essere rilevata.
