Meet the first light cruisers: “Bartolomeo Colleoni” and “HMS Enterprise”!

Light cruisers will have the highest calibre weapons among vessels in War Thunder at the moment surpassing destroyers in armament, defensive capabilities, and survivability. They retain good mobility in the battlefield. allowing them to dodge torpedoes or take up a better firing position. The light cruisers' powerful weapons can turn the tide of battle in a single salvo, so considerable responsibility for the outcome of a battle is placed on the shoulders of the commander of these ships.
