It depends Although most would say neither. Because everybody on Forums are Frig Fanatics
Edit: Ok, let's expand on that earlier point:
Destroyers and cruisers have different roles, but summed up it's this:
Destroyers: ship hunters + sub killers (requires Naval Base lv. 3)
Cruisers: ship hunters + bad aa (requires Naval Base lv. 4)
Basically you would want Destroyers as less flexible frigates, able to take on anything on sea (before you cut in Buckeye, 2 destroyers kill 1 frig + 1 corv easily. be fair to the poor destroyers pls ). Cruisers on the other hand are perfect for killing other ships (20 ship damage is OP!), but need proper AA and sub/destroyer support to function well. Eg Rising Tides I use a combination of Cruisers + Elite Subs + Mobile SAM for practically unkillable task forces.The post was edited 1 time, last by 737373elj ().

Honestly it really depends. I prefer frigates, like most forum-goers as 737373elj pointed out, but I think for most purposes you want to have destroyers as well to defend against subs and other ships. I would say probably destroyers for ease of building.

however, they are by no means viable for that role later in the game because they no longer have the advantage of speed/range over other ships, combine that with the fact that destroyers have the same range/speed as cruisers when they're maxed+ a better pointdefense vs missiles (and ofc being good vs subs) destroyers are by far the superior choice to crusiers in the lategame
sure cruisers have a bit more HP/DMG, but thats completly irrelevant for ranged combatI am The Baseline for opinions -
I usually use the 2 Destroyer 3 frigate stack for coastal city pounding, and have AIP subs tailing to eat cruiser stacks coming for them.*** The Creator of Zombie Farming ***
