Gameplay Notes

Training Cruisers (CT) are weaker cruisers, mainly used to increase experience gained in PVP. Despite being CLs by most metrics, they are mostly considered as "Auxiliaries".

Special Mechanics

Training Cruisers (CT) behave similarly to Light Cruisers, with the ability to increase exp earned from Exercises.

The bonus depends on their position and number in the fleet as well as their level. See below for bonus values:
