Here's Flamu's Worcester video, linked at the time when he engages the Minotaur at super short range with AP and can't kill it instantly. You will not have the firepower to instantly put down someone, not even a broadside Minotaur. You need time to land hits, whittle HP off, do Fire Damage. The USN CLs are more "damage over time" oriented.
Worcester has better guns than Cleveland, and couldn't quickly kill a broadside Minotaur. He caught in less than 10km a broadside Minotaur, landed 9 citadels, and still couldn't kill the Minotaur before it dropped torps to kill Flamu. You got Flamu doing a WiP video on the superior X Worcester. The guns are weak, they're not enough for High Tier. Try that at Tier X, you is gonna get rekt. Cleveland got away with it in Tier VI because the weapon threat levels there were weak. Your fast shooting CL guns? LOL who gives a ! You got Kutuzov camping in smoke. You got 203mm armed CAs shooting at 5.5 seconds and 8.8 seconds. The CAs got A LOT of power and ranged prowess. But Tier VIII-X? The BBs get a lot more accurate and truly nasty. BBs are still wild shotguns that can barely hit anything, Cruisers don't have their powerful Alpha Strikes that they get when they become CAs, etc. This is in sharp contrast to when Cleveland is a Tier VI, because the gunnery there is laughable. The gunnery in high tier is a lot more lethal. If you are in Ocean or the southern spawn points of Okinawa, you are in some of the worst places to be with a USN Cruiser in those tiers. You try to play them like Hindenburg, Zao trading shots in open water, you're going to get rekt. The USN CLs have even worse armor than the USN CAs. USN Cruisers, especially at high tier, get massacred if you try to play them like German, Russian, Japanese, and French Cruisers fighting in open water.
