![]() We won’t talk about the absolute bamboozling I got from the Richelieu… After spamming HE for 10 minutes he decided to switch to AP when he was at 10 km from me… Sadly it’s a loss but considering the game that it was, it’s definitely worth featuring. If you want to see the ship in action, here is the replay from one of my games. ![]() Their damage output is great as we are talking about drops of 15 accurate Tiny Tims and with the long reload of the main battery, you have a perfect synergy between both armaments. From the start, the planes are much faster so you won’t lose too much time when striking. When it comes to the rockets, they are on a whole different level than the torpedo bombers of Tone and Ise. At close range, your flight deck turns into a shells sponge as most shells will have a much flatter ballistic and are less likely to hit the armored deck. She has the guns of the North Carolina, hull protection close to Iowa and the main battery arrangement and mobility of a Montana.ĭue to her unique design (the flight deck in the middle of the ship), she is mostly made to play at long to medium range. In fact, she takes bits of all 3 ships (North Carolina, Iowa and Montana), sprinkle that with some Midway spice and puts the whole thing in a blender. battleships of the Montana line, you will feel relatively at home. In essence, if you ever played high-tier U.S. +100% to experience earned in the battle.-20% to the cost of ship’s post-battle service.+4% to maximum dispersion of shells fired by the enemy at your ship.The permanent camouflage of the Kearsarge provides the classic bonuses for tier IX ships: No Spotting Aircraft consumable (even though she has catapults on the stern).Relatively thin main belt with only 330 mm of armor.Large 19 mm section all around the flight deck.One of the worst AP penetration of all tier IX battleships.Flight deck is effective to limit damage from HE spammers with lazy ballistics.3rd highest HP pool after Musashi and Sovestky Soyuz.Rockets hitting like trucks and with fairly tight dispersion.Capacity to launch a squadron of 5 Attack Aircraft.Access to Artillery Plotting Room Modification 2.It is by far the biggest tier IX battleship and the second biggest battleship of the game after the Kurfürst (outside of super ships of course) In any case, this ship, even though it’s a tier IX is gigantic as you can see here. She can deploy a squadron of five attack aircraft armed with Tiny Tim rockets. Also, they obviously modernized her anti-air to fit at tier IX. Considering the tonnage, it would appear that they are using the hull of Design A but the armament definitely belongs to Design B. In World of Warships… it looks like Wargaming pulled a bit of a kitbashing. In the end, with the situation in Europe spinning out of control, all cooperation ceased in October 1939. Later on, Gibbs and Cox would propose a… much more logical design of a normal battleship with 45 000 tons displacement, armed with ten 406 mm guns and with a maximum speed of 31 knots. To nobody’s surprise, all three proposals were refused as they were in complete violation of naval treaties and there was simply no infrastructure available to build such monsters. Project 1058.2 / C with 44,200t standard displacement, ten 406mm guns, and 28 planes.Project 1058.1 / Design B with 71,859t standard displacement, 12 406mm guns and 40 planes.Project 1058 / Design A with 66,074t standard displacement, eight 456mm guns and 40 planes.In early 1938, they delivered three different designs of a battleship-aircraft carrier hybrid with the largest displacing almost 72 000 tons: Apparently, they didn’t quite understand that the Soviets only wanted battleships and also forgot any sort of treaty limitations. Chief of Naval Operations agreed with the idea being supported by President Roosevelt. government reconsidered the idea when the Soviet ambassador brought on the table the argument that such battleship would be used to keep the Japanese Navy in check in the Pacific and, hearing this, the U.S. At some point, they also asked if the U.S.A could build battleships for them, which initially failed. The Soviets ordered turbines, as well as a license to produce said turbines back home and they, were also ready to buy U.S-built cruisers, etc. In 1937, to fulfill Stalin’s plan of a strong ocean-going fleet, the Soviet Union came to the negotiation with the USA to get support from them and overcome the limitations of the Soviet shipbuilding capabilities. In the Premium Shop, the cheapest bundle should be around 65€.Īll I have to say is that, if you already bought Carnot (or pretty much anything else) with coal, I am truly sorry for you. The ship will be available in the Armory for 228 000 coal or 19 300 doubloons. Ladies and Gentlemen, here we go with the 3rd hybrid ship added to the game, the U.S.
