Official announcement for World of Warships from Wargaming, published on Steam on October 22, 2026.
Spanish cruiser Aragón, Tier IX
Following the end of the Spanish Civil War, Spain looked to construct new modern cruisers of Project 138. This consisted of three possible variants. Project 138B planned to reuse twin 305mm gun turrets taken from the España-class dreadnoughts to build cruisers capable of defeating any other cruiser in European waters.
Aragón combines the traditional Spanish alternative firing mode with high-caliber guns for cruisers. Use her standard firing more to keep pressure on the opponent, and switch to her alternative mode to crush their broadsides!
Gameplay features:
- Long firing range with large-caliber guns and good base reload for the caliber.
- Access to an alternative firing mode that drastically improves her accuracy and AP penetration capabilities, at the cost of a long reload.
- Low number of guns and unimpressive accuracy, using the Battlecruiser formula.
- Good base speed, but with bad concealment.
Aragón plays as a "two-in-one" cruiser rather than sticking to a single role like most of her Tier peers. Her standard firing mode is designed for sustained damage. The fast reload of her six 305 mm guns allows her to pressure enemy ships with frequent HE salvos, starting fires and steadily wearing down battleships. Her AP remains effective against exposed broadsides, but the limited number of guns and battlecruiser dispersion make it unreliable. In this mode, Aragón plays much like a conventional damage-focused large cruiser, supporting her team from range with frequent salvoes.
