If World of Warships' fictional cruiser Cerberus were built, which County-class design path and displacement would fit it?
Short answerAn enlarged Surrey or Norfolk path could reach about 30,000 tons, but the game's combat statistics are not a historical performance model.
NotesA hypothetical real Cerberus is approached as an expanded Surrey or Norfolk development with four triple eight-inch turrets and six twin four-inch mounts. Keeping the proportions while adding larger gunhouses, shell rooms, and beam pushes a rough normal displacement from about 27,600 to around 30,000 tons. A later follow-up draws a line between this naval-architecture exercise and treating the game's statistics as historical evidence. World of Warships compresses engagement ranges so severely that its battle performance cannot be carried over to real gunnery.
