Port Royal is a cost-effective Tier 3 cruiser in modern warships, suitable for medium to close-range firepower suppression and team support. Today, we will teach you how to use the Port Royal well, so that even new players can turn the tide. In fact, it has a balanced configuration of missiles, main guns, and air defense, but its mobility is indeed weaker, requiring reliance on positioning. This guide will introduce weapon pairing to practical details to help players quickly master the core gameplay of this ship.

For the main weapon slot of the Port Royal, it is recommended to load fast-reloading missiles such as Tomahawk or X-35 to ensure sustained output. Choose long-range MK-45 or armor-piercing Oto 127mm for the main gun, used for mid-range attrition. For air defense, it's essential to carry Sea Red Flag-10 or S-400; the former has high interception efficiency, while the latter has a wide coverage area. Select Phalanx for close-in defense, and bring an Osprey helicopter for auxiliary reconnaissance. Prioritize upgrading characteristics that shorten missile reload time and increase main gun damage.

At the start, maintain a medium distance of 5-8 kilometers, using mountains or islands to avoid enemy locks. Prioritize focusing fire on destroyers and fragile units, suppressing enemy air defenses with missiles and finishing off low-health targets with the main gun. When encountering submarines, immediately retreat and call for teammates' anti-submarine support. In the low-health phase, activate the repair team to withstand damage, reserving missiles for critical harvesting. Pay attention to fuel consumption and avoid prolonged exposure in open waters.

Gold should be prioritized to upgrade missiles and main guns to purple quality, then reinforce the air defense system. Use diamonds to purchase the Aurora Barrier coating, which increases the air defense interception rate by 10%. Participate in weekly air defense exercise events to obtain S-400 fragments. New players are advised to focus on cultivating the Port Royal, avoiding the dispersion of resources to multiple ships.
Actually, the Port Royal is relatively weak against carrier-based aircraft and hypersonic missiles. When teaming up, pair with Type 055 destroyers or Ohio-class submarines, the former to bolster air defense, and the latter for anti-submarine. If the enemy has dense rocket artillery, one air defense slot can be swapped for the HQ-9B anti-missile system. Be cautious of battleship main gun volleys. With these considerations, you can operate effectively and even match the power of main battle ships!

The Port Royal, with its low cultivation cost and balanced firepower, is an excellent choice for casual players. The operation is not complex, requiring mastery of mid-range maneuvering and resource allocation rhythm. By making good use of terrain and teamwork, it can consistently contribute to most matches, though it is also necessary to transition to higher-tier warships later on.
