Overview

Méndez Núñez is the Tier II Spanish AA-specialist light cruiser with 149 AA DPS at 4.5 km. Match value is air denial as much as direct damage; she anchors the team's AA umbrella so peer ships rotate into the air-defended cell rather than away from it. Standout traits: best turret traverse rate in T2 CAs (12) and top-decile quiet smoke gunnery in T2 CAs (3.2 km).

Positioning

Hold under 10 km with islands tight enough to break vision on demand. The HE pressure rewards a steady firing arc more than rotation play; pick a corner of the map you can hold and work fires from there. With only HE, aim at superstructures and upper-hull sections where it does full damage instead of shattering on heavy belt armor. A 530 m turning circle is wide for her cohort, so a committed turn gives up a lot of water; plan course changes a salvo ahead.

Potato Avoidance

Firing the moment an enemy appears

The guns are what reveal you: one salvo lights you up from 8.7 km away, and a battleship that suddenly has a broadside cruiser to shoot at will take the free citadels, which is 20,800 HP back to port in a single salvo. Choose the angle and the cover you will shoot from BEFORE anything spots you, so your first salvo is one you can turn away from rather than one that starts a trade you cannot win.

AA specialist

Fast turret traverse ↗

12°/s turret traverse, best of T2 CAs. Tracks fast-rotating targets peers can't keep up with.

Quiet smoke gunnery ↗

3.2 km detect when firing from smoke, top decile of T2 CAs. Shoots from concealment with less bloom than peers.

Thick stern plate ↗

10 mm stern, top decile of T2 CAs.

Slow reload ↗

18 s reload, bottom decile of T2 CAs. Salvos punish more, but cycle is slower than peers.

AA only matters with planes up

The anti-air is elite, but against a lineup with no carrier it does nothing -- you are then judged on the guns and armor alone. Don't over-value the AA when you pick engagements or trade position for it.

Length x beam at the waterline, with the hull's draft where the client carries one. Ships whose client entry holds only the 260 x 20 m placeholder use a curated real-world figure instead, and any ship we have no trustworthy size for omits this row rather than print the placeholder.

Fire resistance

Does not reduce the damage a burning fire does per second: replay-measured burn ticks run at the full rate on every ship. By elimination it lowers how often hits set you on fire; ignition-rate replay data is consistent with that but too confounded by attacker mix to measure the reduction directly.

3.3%

Fire duration30 s

Fire damage

Each fire ticks 0.3% of max HP per second for the full 30 s, so one unattended fire burns 9% of the pool (1,872 HP on this ship). 4 fire points can burn at once. Verified against measured burn ticks in replay data.

0.3% of HP per second

Flood duration40 s

Flood damage

A flood ticks 0.25% of max HP per second for the 40 s duration, so one unattended flood costs 10% of the pool (2,080 HP on this ship). Verified against measured flood ticks in replay data.

0.25% of HP per second

Torp Reduction

Reduces torpedo hit damage. Replay data shows no effect on floods: flood ticks run at the full rate and flood frequency does not decline with protection.

Magazine HP

Per-turret powder-magazine HP, a separate pool from the ship's. Penetrating hits wear it down and the turret is likelier to be knocked out as it falls, so a larger pool keeps the guns firing through punishment that silences a peer's.

10,400

Steering gear HP

Durability of the steering gears. As this pool drops, hits are likelier to jam the rudder; unlike most modules the steering can be knocked out and repaired but is never permanently destroyed.

Turret traverse arcs

How far each mount can train, in degrees to either side of the mount's own facing, read from in-game data. A rear turret with ±150° leaves a 60° blind wedge over the bow; one-sided arcs are wing mounts that cover a single side. The data does not say which way each mount faces, so the arcs are listed per mount without bow/stern angles.

6x ±140°, 2x ±80°

Guns to bear

How far off the bow (or stern) the ship must angle before every main turret can fire: the widest blind wedge among the rear-facing (or forward-facing) mounts, from each mount's trainable arc. Mount facing is inferred from turret stations and verified against known layouts, including Izumo's aft-facing forward turret.

Bursts

Each ~2 s wave fires 2 quick salvos of 1 clouds ahead of the attacking squadron - up to 2 clouds per wave × 150 damage each. Planes that fly into a cloud take its damage; clouds dissipate before the next wave lands. Defensive AA Fire, where fitted, multiplies the salvo repeats within each wave.

2 salvos × 1 clouds

Cloud damage

Damage a plane takes for flying into one flak cloud, before any reductions.

150

Cloud spawn chance

Each cloud in the pattern rolls this chance to spawn, so waves average fewer clouds than the maximum. Often called flak 'hit chance', but spawned clouds always damage planes that fly into them - the roll is on spawning.

90%

Wave rate

A flak wave spawns roughly every 2 s - timed frame-by-frame from gameplay footage and consistent across ships.

every ~2 s

Fired by

Flak keeps firing while at least one main battery mount is operational - even losing every other AA mount does not stop it.

Main battery

Flak zone

The activation band: flak fires while attacking planes are inside it. Clouds are placed ahead of the planes' path, so bursts can land short of 2.5 km or past 4.5 km - once planes get inside the band, new waves stop. AA range bonuses push the outer edge out; the 2.5 km inner edge does not move.

Reverse speed

top speed / 4 + 4.9 = 29 / 4 + 4.9 = 12.2 kt. The community reverse-speed model from the WoWs ShipBuilder project, the same source as the acceleration model on this card. Base value; speed modifiers scale it. Not shown on the in-game card.

12.2 kt

Crash stop

Seconds from top speed to a dead stop after ordering full reverse: reverse power winds in over the reverse spool-up while water drag does most of the braking. Same community-model simulation as the acceleration times, using the ship's own reverse-power ratio from in-game data. The full curve is on the acceleration chart.

23.9 s

Engine boost threshold (reverse)

Speed below which the engine's built-in power boost applies in reverse. Matches the in-game maneuverability card's reverse threshold (Vampire II reads 10.5 here and the card shows 11; the card rounds half up).

9.3 kt

Acceleration 0-90%

Time to reach 90% of top speed (26.1 kt of 29 kt), from our in-house acceleration model.

23.9 s

Acceleration 0-99%

Time to reach 99% of top speed (28.7 kt of 29 kt). 99% rather than 100% because true top speed is asymptotic (thrust meets drag), so the last fraction of a knot is never quite gained.

38.5 s

Traverse-to-turn ratio

How many degrees the turret can swing for each degree the hull turns. Turn rate

ω_{hull} = \frac{180}{π} \cdot \frac{V_{max} (m/s)}{R_{turn}} = \frac{180}{π} \cdot \frac{29.0 \cdot 0.5144}{530} = 1.61 ° / s

, so

ratio = \frac{ω_{turret}}{ω_{hull}} = \frac{12}{1.61} = 7.4 \times

Main battery formulas

Shell Grouping (σ)2

Max Horiz Disp111.9 m at 11.4 km

Horizontal dispersion ellipse width at max range, from the verified WoWS dispersion model:  $σ_{H} = (\frac{R}{30} \cdot \frac{idealRadius - minRadius}{idealDistance} + minRadius) \cdot 30$   $= (\frac{11435}{30} \cdot \frac{8 - 1.1}{1000} + 1.1) \cdot 30 = 111.9 m$

Shell scatter width @ 5 km67.5 m

Horizontal scatter at a fixed 5 km, from the same verified dispersion model as the rows below - a knife-fight-range anchor comparable across ships.

Shell scatter width @ 10 km102 m

How wide your shells scatter at 10 km, from the same dispersion model as the max-range figure above. Picking a fixed range makes this number directly comparable from ship to ship: max-range dispersion makes a longer-range gun look worse even when it's tighter at any common range. The interactive Dispersion tab on the Charts card plots the full curve from 0 to max range.

Max Vert Disp67.1 m at 11.4 km

Vertical dispersion ellipse height at max range: $σ_{V} = σ_{H} \cdot radiusOnMax$ $= 111.9 \cdot 0.6 = 67.1 m$

Shell scatter height @ 10 km58.6 m

How tall the same scatter ellipse is at 10 km. Comparable from ship to ship for the same reason as the width value above. The height/width ratio is a piecewise-linear curve through three points from the ship's own dispersion data:  $radiusOnZero = 0.2$  at 0 m,  $radiusOnDelim = 0.5$  at  $delim \cdot R_{m a x} = 0.5 \cdot 11435 = 5718$  m, and  $radiusOnMax = 0.6$  at 11435 m. Above the kink:  $k = 0.5 + (0.6 - 0.5) \cdot \frac{10000 - 5718}{11435 - 5718} = 0.5749$ , so  $σ_{V} = σ_{H} \cdot k = 102 \cdot 0.5749 = 58.6 m$ .

Med Horiz Disp33.6 m at 11.4 km

50%-hit horizontal radius: $σ_{H, 50} = σ_{H} \cdot \frac{0.6}{σ}$ $= 111.9 \cdot \frac{0.6}{2} = 33.6 m$

Med Vert Disp20.1 m at 11.4 km

50%-hit vertical radius: $σ_{V, 50} = σ_{V} \cdot \frac{0.6}{σ}$ $= 67.1 \cdot \frac{0.6}{2} = 20.1 m$

HE flight time @ 10 km6.41 s

How long an HE shell takes to reach a target at a fixed 10 km, from the same numerically integrated trajectory the Charts card plots. The shell slows under quadratic air drag,  $a_{drag} = k ρ v^{2}$ , where  $ρ$  is air density from a standard-atmosphere profile and  $k$  bundles the shell's drag coefficient, caliber and mass:  $k = \frac{π C_{d} d^{2}}{8 m} = \frac{π \cdot 0.2239 \cdot {0.12}^{2}}{8 \cdot 22.68} = 5.58 \times 10^{- 5}$ . That runs from a 808 m/s muzzle velocity in 0.02 s steps under gravity 9.8 m/s² until the shell lands, then divides by 2.77: the game clock runs faster than real time, and that factor was measured against stopwatch runs in the Training Room. Lower is better, since a faster shell is harder to dodge and needs less lead.

HE penetration20 mm

20 mm ≈ 120 mm caliber / 6 (standard HE penetration ratio).

Broadside guns used for alpha6

Barrels that can bear on one beam (6 of 8); casemate/wing mounts only fire one side.

AA defense

AA DPS at max range91

Only families that reach 4.5 km contribute at the outer edge of the AA bubble. In-game families: 37mm SKC 30 twin 5x2 -> 25 DPS @ 3.5 km; 20mm Flack 38 quad 2x4 -> 33 DPS @ 2 km; Far AA (?) -> 91 DPS @ 4.5 km.

Maximum AA range4.5 km

Longest-reaching family on the in-game AA card. Base AirDefense aura max range is 3.5 km; dual-purpose mount auras extend it.

AA DPS layered by range91 DPS @ 4.5 km, 116 DPS @ 3.5 km, 149 DPS @ 2 km

Cumulative AA DPS at each family range threshold. Inner ranges stack the outer families, so a target closing the distance hits stronger AA bubbles as it crosses each band.

AA DPS at point-blank149

Sum of every family's average DPS, achievable only inside the closest-range family (2 km).

AA threat index563

SUM over AA auras of (aura DPS x aura range km). A plane crossing the AA bubble is exposed to each aura for a time proportional to that aura's range, so long-reach DPS is worth more than the same DPS in a short bubble. Units: DPS*km; used to rank overall AA threat across the cohort.

Near aura range2 km

AA mount (37 mm mount)	separate HP pool, does not drain ship HP	200 per-mount HP	Destroyed at 0 HP	Per-mount HP for the heaviest AA on this ship. An AA mount destroyed at 0 HP stops shooting down planes for the rest of the battle; DCP does not repair destroyed mounts. HE shells specifically target AA mounts since the small-caliber HP pool falls fast.
Rudder (module)	separate HP pool, does not drain ship HP	6,200 module HP	Incapacitated at 0 HP	When module HP reaches 0 the rudder locks at its current angle until DCP repairs it. Repair via Damage Control Party.

Saturation cap = HP a section can absorb before further damage to it is reduced (the "bow-tank" effect). Citadel pool is ~165k on every ship (effectively no cap); damage is gated by pen/over-pen multipliers instead. Superstructure saturates fast but HE always pens regardless of the plate thickness. Rudder (and other module HPs) are a separate pool from ship HP: damaging a module doesn't drain ship HP. Incapacitated modules like the rudder and engine are restored by DCP, but secondary and AA mounts destroyed at 0 HP stay out for the rest of the battle.
