Numancia is a Spanish premium cruiser that wants controlled mid-range fights: use burst windows and AP opportunities when enemies turn, then disengage before sustained return fire overwhelms you.
Hold flexible mid-range angles near cover. Avoid committing to the map edge too early; Numancia needs room to kite, reverse, or re-angle when battleships look your way.
Take the trade, go dark or angle out, then reset for the next opportunity.
30.0 s smoke deployment window, best of T7 CAs. Lays a longer rolling smoke trail while moving.
86.0 kt torpedo speed, best of T7 CAs. Less reaction time for targets to dodge.
26.0 mm best HE pen across secondary families, top decile of T7 CAs. Pens hull plates peers' secondaries shatter on.
1.8 km torpedo detect, worst of T7 CAs. Easy to dodge if targets are looking.
80.0 s Repair Party reload, worst of T7 CAs. Heals come off cooldown slower than peers.
Numancia is a Premium ship and not available to unlock in the Tech Tree. Acquisition path: Global XP.
Use a Spanish cruiser commander focused on reload/burst uptime, concealment, and survivability. Inspirations for cruiser concealment, incoming-fire avoidance, or AP consistency are strong defaults.

Where Numancia sits among Tier VII CAs (55 ships). Notable standouts are shown first; the rest of the cohort-ranked stats are in the expand below. Acquisition variants (Black Friday, Founders Edition) are counted once with their base ship, not as separate peers.
Not standouts for Numancia -- here's where she sits on every other ranked stat in the cohort. Stats tagged NORM are tied across more than half the cohort, so the value is the cohort default rather than a standout.

Numbers the spec table cannot show directly: alpha-strike math, DPM, dispersion, AP penetration. Click the formula chip on any row to reveal how it is calculated.
Horizontal dispersion ellipse width at max range, from the verified WoWS dispersion model: $\sigma_H = \left(\dfrac{R}{30}\cdot\dfrac{\text{idealRadius}-\text{minRadius}}{\text{idealDistance}} + \text{minRadius}\right)\cdot 30$ $= \left(\dfrac{15610}{30}\cdot\dfrac{8-1.1}{1000} + 1.1\right)\cdot 30 = 140.7\,\text{m}$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.Vertical dispersion ellipse height at max range: $\sigma_V = \sigma_H \cdot \text{radiusOnMax}$ $= 140.7 \cdot 0.6 = 84.4\,\text{m}$How tall the same scatter ellipse is at 10 km. Comparable from ship to ship for the same reason as the width value above.50%-hit horizontal radius: $\sigma_{H,50} = \sigma_H \cdot \text{GetHalfHitsRatio}(\sigma)$ $= 140.7 \cdot 0.32\;(\sigma = 2) = 45\,\text{m}$50%-hit vertical radius: $\sigma_{V,50} = \sigma_V \cdot \text{GetHalfHitsRatio}(\sigma)$ $= 84.4 \cdot 0.32\;(\sigma = 2) = 27\,\text{m}$Canonical community AP formula (jcw780/wows_shell), evaluated at muzzle velocity: $P = 10^{-7}\cdot K \cdot m^{0.69} \cdot d^{-1.07} \cdot v_0^{1.38}$ $= 10^{-7}\cdot 2650 \cdot 116.1^{0.69} \cdot 0.203^{-1.07} \cdot 814^{1.38} = 403.3\,\text{mm}$. Matches the in-game spec card.Same formula at the ship's max firing range (19.5 km), where the shell has slowed to 375.7 m/s: $P = 10^{-7}\cdot 2650 \cdot 116.1^{0.69} \cdot 0.203^{-1.07} \cdot 375.7^{1.38} = 138.8\,\text{mm}$.34 mm ≈ 203 mm caliber / 6 (standard HE penetration ratio).floor(203 mm caliber / 14.3) = 14 mm (AP auto-penetrates plating this thick or less).AP shell over-penetration splash radius; scales with shell mass. Wickes 102mm = 3, standard 152mm CL ~ 20, Iowa 406mm ~ 270, Yamato 460mm = 400, Incomparable 650mm = 550 (max). Larger value = bigger splash damage area when AP over-pens.All 7 barrels bear on the broadside.180 degrees / 10 deg/s traverse speed = 18 s.2,850 HE damage x 7 broadside guns = 19,950.4,500 AP damage x 7 broadside guns = 31,500.19,950 HE full-salvo alpha x 3 burst salvos / ((3-1)x4 s rack + 20 s base reload) cycle = 128,250.31,500 AP full-salvo alpha x 3 burst salvos / ((3-1)x4 s rack + 20 s base reload) cycle = 202,500.19,950 HE full-salvo alpha x 3 burst salvos / ((3-1)x4 s rack + 18 s installed reload (Main Battery Mod. 3 = -10%)) cycle = 138,115.31,500 AP full-salvo alpha x 3 burst salvos / ((3-1)x4 s rack + 18 s installed reload (Main Battery Mod. 3 = -10%)) cycle = 218,077.7 broadside guns x 3 burst salvos / ((3-1)x4 s rack + 20 s base reload) cycle = 45.7 broadside guns x 3 burst salvos / ((3-1)x4 s rack + 18 s installed Artillery reload) cycle = 48.5.45 shells/min x 17% fire chance = 7.65.48.5 shells/min x 17% fire chance = 8.24.3 rack salvos x 7 broadside guns x 4,500 AP damage. Total damage the ship can deliver in the burst before reverting to base reload.(3-1) gaps x 4 s rack reload. Wall-clock from the first to the last rack salvo; the next salvo after that uses the base reload.detectability / (speed kt x 2.6 community game-speed factor).range / (speed kt x 2.6 community game-speed factor).4 launchers x 3 tubes.tube count / 2 (symmetric port/starboard launcher layout; common on cruisers and battleships with deck torpedoes).All tubes hitting one target: tubes x per-torpedo simulated damage = 12 x 9,800 = 117,600.One side firing, all torpedoes hitting: per-side tubes x per-torpedo simulated damage = 6 x 9,800 = 58,800.Sum across every AA aura on this ship of (aura.continuous_damage x 3.5 x aura.hit_probability). Here: (10×3.5×0.9) + (14×3.5×0.85) + (30×3.5×0.9) = 168. Covers AA-only mounts plus dual-purpose secondaries (Bismarck 105mm, USN 5"/38 cruiser secondaries) and dual-purpose main batteries (Sumner-class 5"/38, Akizuki-line 100mm). Formula validated against in-game captures on California, Sumner, Manfred von Richthofen, Dante Alighieri (exact) and within +/-17% on the remaining verified ships.Longest-reaching aura across AA-only + dual-purpose auras.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.Max dispersion = range (km) × 57 + 30. Each dispersion type sets its own slope; this is not a percentage applied to a standard baseline.5 km × 57 + 30 = 315 m.Sum across all secondary families of (per-side barrels × 60 / reload_s × alpha), where per-side barrels = mounts × barrels-per-mount / 2 (the guns that bear on one broadside target). Per-family: 4×2 105 mm (4/side) × 60/3.35 × 1200 = 85,970. Assumes every shell hits (real hit rate is lower; the Brawl matchup tool on the Compare page folds in dispersion + target armor).Maximum HE damage per shell across secondary HE families. Best on this ship: 1200 from the 105 mm family.Maximum per-shell fire chance across secondary HE families (before target fire resistance is applied). Best on this ship: 5% from the 105 mm family.Maximum HE armor penetration across secondary HE families (caliber × 1/6 for most nations; 1/4 for German/UK BBs). Shells whose pen falls under a plate's armor thickness shatter for 0 hull damage though fire chance still applies. Best on this ship: 26 mm from the 105 mm family.Every custom exterior Numancia can equip, from in-game data.
