Rating A+ (Strong within its tier and class · overall score 77) · High-firepower battleship
An American tech-tree battleship with twelve 457 mm guns; its 28,608 salvo is 38% above the tier X battleship average, and a citadel-heavy salvo can deal up to 85,824 at once on paper. The reload is a long 30 s, though, so patience is needed to save salvos for broadside targets. 74,024 HP, thick armor, AA 42% above average, and Air Defense Alert II make it very sturdy against carriers. However, a 22.52 kn top speed and 38.75 s acceleration are very slow and 13.08 km detectability is long, so if the line collapses it can't reposition on its own. The wiki also notes this weakness is heavily exposed in recent games where fronts break easily.
