Black New Mexico
Tier VI · Battleship · U.S.A.
Rating S (Elite within its tier and class · overall score 87) · Damage-tank battleship
Damage-tank battleship. It is especially strong against battleships (AP deals a same-tier battleship's HP in about 7 min on paper). 47,082 effective HP and a bow most big guns can't overmatch make it a frontline tank. With 4 Damage Control charges it shrugs off fire and flooding combos. Its AP main battery DPM of 46,016 is 12% above the same-tier battleship average. Dispersion at 12 km is about 373 m, 8% wider than average, so shoot from closer or wait for broadsides.
