What is USS Seattle?

Anyone knows?

I found info only about some armoured cruiser and support ship.

Improved Fargo or Worcester prototype?

Perhaps a Fargo class CL all though USS Seattle is not among the proposed ships it would make sense tech tree wise?

I wonder how that tier ten Atlanta will perform...

Still if it is a fake name then I assume this will be a projected or one of the proposed versions.

I'm worried about this split, especially since I have paid real money to get permanent camos for the Cleveland and Pensacola.

I also have the "Congratulatory" camo fro the NO. I hope I won't be cheated out of my camo by WG when the line is reshuffled.

You wont, in all the cases where a split of the tech tree happened the old ships retained their permanent camos while their replacements also got them so the players would receive an extra permament camo

[WeGreedy]

@Aragathor

When Russian destroyers split up your camo doubled. I had T7 Kiev camo so I got Minsk and T8 Kiev camo.

now the question is, i have the Cleveland in port, what does this mean for my ships as i never bothered to buy the Pensecola as i found the cleveland fun (then i started down the soviet cruiser line and have done so well in them i am on the verge of T9 in just 2 months)
does the Cleveland Jump to T8 and i get a cloned Pensacola & Dallas with the 14pt captain in there too? 

keen to know this

Well I hope so, especially since I love my Cleveland and have a secondary specced captain on her.

Indeed as it would appear that the Buffalo is a paper ship as well instead of using the Oregon City class CA.

[WeGreedy]

@JaiFoh
If the handle it the same way as they did before, you'll receive a stock T8 Cleveland and unlock T6 Dallas and T7 New Orleans.

IIRC captain will stay on his ship (T8 Cleveland), plus you'll get a six-point-captain on T6 Dallas.

[JaiFoh]

More important question
does this mean that Radar becomes a standard part of T7 on the New Orleans?

I think (and hope!) radar will stay premium-only on tier seven.

Englished it:

 

here we go again:

 

 

in your port	after split:
	Captains and XP stay here
Omaha (5)	-	-
Cleveland (6)	Pensacola (6)	Cleveland (8)
Pensacola (7)	New Orleans (7)	Pensacola (6)
New Orleans (8)	Baltimore (8)	New Orleans (7)
Baltimore (9)	Buffalo (9)	Baltimore (8)
Des Moines (10)	-	-

 

 

Double ships give credits

[Haleos]

And this list confirms that USS Wichita is bound to arrive in the form of American Tier8 Premium Cruiser.

No Brooklyn, shame...

^This.

Also what class is USS Dallas supposed to be? Because I doubt it is the Clemson class DD.

Or the cancelled Des Moines class CA.

A 15 gun CL at tier 7? I feel like we've been here before...

[Nechrom]

I might just be tired and brain not working at full capacity, but what current ship would be the highest you needed to make any extra "gain" from this split? Cleveland?

Just wondering if there is any reason to rush up the line before the split.

Yep, can't see anything else.

You should get an additional nine-point captain if you have Baltimore though.

Thanks, that's what I suspected but I wasn't sure.

 

Now I'm instead filled with questions about the ships...

What is a Dallas CL?

Why 15 x 6" at tier 7?

...and 12 x 6" at tier 8?

What is a Seattle CL?

If the Buffalo is the same as the one they've had in the game files for ages, then it's 12 x 8" guns at tier 9...

I guess they'll balance it by rate of fire or maybe velocity.

But probably ROF.

The tier ten Buffalo you're likely talking about has a 15 second reload, so DPM is lower than Baltimore's in it's top configuration.

Alpha damage is pretty high though.

I have no info on these ships, and even if I had I couldn't (and wouldn't) share, but imagine this: 

Suppose the T7 and the T8 have the same RoF and overall gunstats. Suppose they have the exact same stats all over, except for the secondary, AA and main firepower (because number of guns).

Now add stealth module to the T8. 

 

Which has better tactical flexibility?

 

 

What bothers me wayyy more is Pensacola at T6.

I mean really? That thing has the heaviest current US cruiser broadside at 46'000. To put that into perspective, that makes it easy to oneshot just about any T5 and 6 cruiser currently ingame, and if you're lucky, any T7 cruiser as well (exception being AGS of course). Even if she gets her current stock rounds (4'500 dmg/shot) you'll still have the heaviest broadside of the tier, and 1k less damage isn't going to exactly reduce your oneshot capacity, especially with USN 8" AP bounce angles.

Let's suppose that she gets nerfed to the ground. Is that viable? No. Is she actually fine in her current position? Yes, she is (disclaimer: as with any ship, this doesn't apply if you are a braindamaged potato).

I saw your comment, then had to look at the official tree just to check.

Ugh.
Dumb.
Being tier 6 won't change her being fragile as hell, but it sure as hell will club tier 6s with massive damage.

Even with 15 seconds of reload, it's still the Myokos firepower with great firing angles and the top kek USN ricochet angles.


Seriously, why does WG feel the need to change every ship that challenges players even but a smidge?
Pensacola only ever needed two things since OBT: AA buff and concealment buff. She got the concealment. Ship fixed.

Yeah, she's fragile, but she's hella hard to hit when appropriately fitted. Even if she gets her RoF reduced to 3/min (which would be... I don't even). she'd be able to blow cruisers out of the water, because lol 46'000 damage potential.

 

Come to think of it, assuming Buffalo will have the superheavy AP, she'll have a 60'000 damage broaside, able to blow any cruiser out of the water at her tier.
