Fortunately, she handles slightly better Neptune in exchange for giving up a bit of maximum range on her main battery. It takes some practice to be able to deduce when it is safe to bring all guns to bear. Minotaur will be punished severely for exposing her broadside to enemy battleships and heavy cruisers and can be citadeled from virtually any angle. Her armor is so thin that sometimes even light cruisers can over-pen her armor. Minotaur’s armor remains roughly equivalent to that of Neptune - which is to say that there isn't very much of it - and she is further hampered by how high her citadel space rides amidships.
She is the stealthiest of all the Tier X cruisers, able to drop her detection radius down to 9.04 km when fully rigged for stealth. Her torpedoes and torpedo launcher configuration remains identical to what was found on Neptune: two four-tube launchers per side equipped with 10.0 km range torpedo that reload relatively quickly (96 seconds). That said, most of Minotaur’s AA punch comes from her middle ring of 76.2mm guns, leaving her with only her dual-purpose main battery guns to function as long-range AA. Like her immediate predecessor, her main battery guns are dual purpose and contribute to her anti-aircraft suite so Minotaur’s overall AA impact on the battlefield will be significant.
Minotaur spits out 152mm shells at a rate that has to be seen to be believed as insane her rate of fire is, however, its impact is somewhat mitigated by the British light cruiser line lacking high-explosive shells. The Mk XXVI is a further upgrade over the Mk XXV deployed aboard Neptune, and the reload time drops to 3.2 seconds (or 2.8 seconds with Main Battery Modification 3 installed in Upgrade Slot 6). Minotaur’s main battery is comprised of five quick-turning turrets, each with a pair of Mk XXVI 152mm rifles. She has a very different - and very unique - turret configuration compared to that of Neptune, and her main battery guns have a reload speed that gives Gearing a run for her money.
