Haarlem is equipped with nine 203 mm guns, which are identical to same-tier cruiser Admiral Hipper in many aspects, including ballistics, AP penetration and HE fire chance. She is able to take advantage of positions that many other cruisers cannot. Her concealment, on the other hand is excellent for a large cruiser, reaching 9.8 km when fully specced, which is superior to many other cruisers she can meet in-battle. Haarlem’s maneuverability is poor, with a top speed of 32.5 knots, and a rudder shift at 11.1 seconds when upgraded. Haarlem however suffers from the same fire and flooding duration as battleships, making her survivability from damage over time poor. Her citadel is protected by a 200 mm main belt and 25 mm turtleback, the latter of which provides effective protection against cruisers.
Her midsection features a 30 mm deck, which is immune to overmatch from guns below 457 mm, and her 40 mm side plating allows her to ricochet battleship shells while angled. Her 25 mm bow is additionally protected by a 40 mm icebreaker, making it difficult to citadel her through the nose.
