Uss New Jersey: new branch secondary Battleship

Table of Contents

IN WORK

This new branch consists of classic battleships with secondary batteries. Playing on the front lines allows you to utilize the secondary batteries, which deal damage to enemies with anti-tank shells and have better accuracy (similar to the X Ohio). Another thing to note is the increased armor protection on the central hull and deck of the ships, which will help withstand enemy attacks. The battleship guns have a relatively short range and average accuracy compared to other ships in their class. However, with the "Engine Boost" upgrade, which increases maximum speed by 15%, they can quickly close the distance with enemies. At higher tiers, battleships will gain access to the "Surveillance Radar" upgrade, which will make close-quarters combat more comfortable.

Consumables include a choice of "Damage Control Party," an improved "Repair Party," "Spotting Aircraft," or "Fighter." Starting from Tier IX, consumables will include "Surveillance Radar" in the "Engine Boost" slot, and super battleships will have this consumable in a separate slot.

Unique Features

Cons

Secondary accuracy is improved

Middle hull and deck armor is enhanced

Engine boost provides a 15% speed increase

Highly effective air defense

Tier IX radar available

Pros

Low main gun range

Low main gun accuracy

Test Gameplay

This ship has an advantage in its radar, and with the engine boost, the ship feels comfortable playing around 18 km. On one hand, in terms of caliber range, this ship is very limited in its gun firing range, but thanks to the quite good secondaries, the New Jersey can be very intimidating by pushing the game into the enemy, and even when I tried, the secondary accuracy was very good, especially since this ship's secondaries are SAP, where the shells definitely penetrate average ships.
