World of Warships - First Look: Tier VI Premium British Cruiser HMS Dido
163Here's our First Look at Tier VI Premium British cruiser HMS Dido. Dido's arrival into World of Warships has been long-anticipated, and she definitely looks interesting. Bringing a "shoot 'n' scoot" playstyle similar to that of her Tier VIII cousin Belfast '43, Dido lacks Belfast's utility but appears to make up for it in terms of raw firepower. Destroyers in particular need to be wary of her. Let's peel back the layers to learn more.
