I got the ship and upgraded it. I dont know- it has stron fire power but weak AA - any ship fire at you and you already used your flares- you loose 1/2 pf you points. Its vert offensive- but you will be surprise how weak it is. I have HMS type 83 or CN-o55 they can take much more damage and give also good fire power. Long beach - will make you finish the battle very fast - unless you really know how to hide and avoid attack (Its top speed is 20 and it is not heavy nor light in manouver)
Glasgow is 1 of the best ships- it is very strong fire power and special AA and anti flare missle. Monsoor isnt a good ship- i have it and not use it - check HMS trype 83- I LOVE IT
