The anti-aircraft rating is not class leading, but will not lend any easy targets to enemy carriers. The Admiral Hipper at Tier VIII finds itself against some stiff competition, but shows that it has the stuff with best in tier survivability and artillery.
It is also the first German ship to get torpedoes out of the box, as opposed to the Kolberg that can be upgraded in Tier III to include them. By the time you get up to Tier IV with the Karlsruhe, the survivability gets close to the Americans with good concealment, though the artillery and maneuverability seem to suffer even against the Japanese. The first ship you will find yourself, the Hermelin, has a lower survivability and concealment rating than the IJN or USN counterparts, but stronger guns and solid maneuverability. Nevertheless, we can compare what we know so far against the ships that are already released and reach some conclusions. For example, though never mentioned in the text the German cruisers have aircraft the video makes it a point to show an aircraft on a catapult. Still, there are no overwhelming features revealed thus far for the German cruisers, so it will be interesting to see how they fair in the accuracy, range, turn speed of turrets, and volume of fire departments as the statistics bars only tell a very small story.
Best guesses at the German cruisers put them somewhere closer to the battleships that we have been seeing so far, and less like the light and fast cruisers put forth by the United States Navy (USN) or Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN). Though details are still a bit scarce right now, the German cruisers look to be very middle of the road with a heavy emphasis on strong survivability and artillery, with support from torpedoes.
