Andrew the Lip

U.S.S.R. Cruiser Commander
U.S.S.R.CruiserWG OriginalMain Battery
Overview

The commander's own Hit Them Hard is built for cruisers that carry the Observation Seaplane, such as Buffalo and Des Moines, adding a charge and extra damage while it flies. Born Ready raises AP damage with every hit on the same target, so the commander also suits any AP-focused cruiser. Pair with Piercer, Punch Through and Refill Station.

Commander Bio

Andrew the Lip is a Wargaming-original commander who arrived with the pirate-themed Legendary Seas event: a sharp-tongued freebooter of the high seas whose nickname comes from a mouth that has talked him both into and out of trouble in every port. In Legends he specializes in Soviet cruisers, drilling his gun crews until every follow-up AP salvo lands harder than the last, which is exactly what his Born Ready trait rewards.
