Overview

Eendracht is the Tier VI Dutch airstrike cruiser. The alt-armament fires a bomber line instead of torpedoes, so her damage profile is main battery up front plus airstrike pressure on distant caps. Sonar (4.4 km on ships and 3.3 km on torpedoes, 100 s active, 180 s reload, long uptime) lights up DDs and torpedoes inside its bubble, which lets her contest the cap edge without taking the spotting cycle. AA (586 AA DPS at 3.5 km, +100% Defensive AA flak burst) is heavy enough to make her the team's air-defense anchor on top of the lead role; CV strikes route around her, not through.

Positioning

Sit 12-15 km from a contested cap where an island shadows you from the opposite battleship line. Hydro (4.4 km on ships, 3.3 km on torpedoes) lights up DDs and incoming torpedoes inside its bubble, so you can push the cap edge from cover without taking the spotting cycle; prefer cover positions over open-water flanks.

Potato Avoidance

Launching airstrikes at maneuvering targets

The squadron's travel time is long enough that a healthy DD or cruiser with engine boost simply turns out of the cone. Reserve strikes for capping destroyers, island-huggers, and anyone already tying up with a teammate.

Signature Traits

Airstrike alt-armament

Right-trigger fires a bomber line in place of torpedoes. Rewards behind-cover positioning with the cap in range.

Top-tier AA

586.0 AA DPS, top decile of T6 CAs (median 269.0).

Flat AP shells

950.0 m/s AP muzzle velocity, top decile of T6 CAs. Flatter trajectory, less lead, harder to dodge.

Strong torpedo belt

19.0% torpedo damage reduction, top decile of T6 CAs.

Flat HE shells

950.0 m/s HE muzzle velocity, top decile of T6 CAs. Flatter trajectory, easier to land at range.

Short AA reach

3.5 km AA reach, bottom decile of T6 CAs. Drops bombs and rockets land before AA bites.

Acquisition

How to get Eendracht

Eendracht is available in the Airstrike Cruisers branch of the Netherlands Tech Tree for 9,000,000 credits after researching it in the branch. Known module upgrades cost up to 2,250,000 credits. Official source cards below may also show its temporary Early Access window before it became a normal Tech Tree unlock. Container chances are shown as the listed odds of receiving this exact ship, dividing grouped ship-pool odds across the resolved ships and including nested container paths when a crate can drop another crate.

Karel Doorman is the canonical primary: Bird's Eye View extends both airstrike and main range, Sea Wings speeds the squadron up, Iron Feathers buffs plane HP against AA. Pair with Cornelis van der Windt (Flame Storm trait: airstrike bomb burning chance) for more fire starts, or Johan Furstner (Minister of the Navy trait: fire damage on cruiser shells and bombs) for heavier DoT.

Hull HP 32,500 → 35,800 with hull upgrade, distributed across 5 hull zones, each with its own plate thicknesses, saturation cap, and pen thresholds. HP caps are the exact in-game values, not estimated.

Bow	30 mm primary (range 16–30 mm)	600 (2% of HP)	Overmatch not possible at T VIIAngle bounces 410mm30 mm: HE pens from 203mm+	Bow-tank fits behind this exterior plate. Saturation is FAST here; the cap is often only a few thousand HP.
Hull (midship)	100 mm primary (range 16–100 mm)	26,900 (75% of HP)	No common caliber overmatches100 mm: standard HE shatters; improved HE (DE / FR BB) pens from 406mm+	Largest HP pool. Citadel sits behind these plates; thinner deck and side plating absorb the rest.

Citadel	75 mm primary (range 15–75 mm)	≈ 165,500 (effectively no cap)	Citadel pen ×0.10 damageOver-pen: ×0.10 damage	Effectively no cap; citadel pool sits at ~165k HP on every ship. Damage is gated by pen/over-pen multipliers instead (×0.10 direct pen, ×0.10 over-pen).
Superstructure	10 mm primary (range 10–75 mm)	3,300 (9% of HP)	Any HE ≥16 mm pens at full damage	Any HE ≥16 mm pens at full damage. HE-spam target, and the section saturates fast (often only a few thousand HP).
Turret (module, per magazine)	separate HP pool, does not drain ship HP	16,300 magazine HP	Magazine detonation1–30% chance · below ~75% HP	Per-turret powder-magazine HP. Detonation chance scales from 1% (no mag damage) to 30% (full mag damage); this range is the in-game value. Detonation can't roll while the ship is above ~75% HP (the standard detonation-protection threshold, not a per-ship stat). Smaller magazines saturate to the 30% ceiling faster.
AA mount (40 mm mount)	separate HP pool, does not drain ship HP	200 per-mount HP	Destroyed at 0 HP	Per-mount HP for the heaviest AA on this ship. An AA mount destroyed at 0 HP stops shooting down planes for the rest of the battle; DCP does not repair destroyed mounts. HE shells specifically target AA mounts since the small-caliber HP pool falls fast.
Rudder (module)	separate HP pool, does not drain ship HP	10,700 module HP	Incapacitated at 0 HP	When module HP reaches 0 the rudder locks at its current angle until DCP repairs it. Repair via Damage Control Party.

Saturation cap = HP a section can absorb before further damage to it is reduced (the "bow-tank" effect). Citadel pool is ~165k on every ship (effectively no cap); damage is gated by pen/over-pen multipliers instead. Superstructure saturates fast but HE always pens regardless of the plate thickness. Rudder (and other module HPs) are a separate pool from ship HP: damaging a module doesn't drain ship HP. Incapacitated modules like the rudder and engine are restored by DCP, but secondary and AA mounts destroyed at 0 HP stay out for the rest of the battle.
