With a quick breakdown, you can see that AA never really changes over several tiers. It is a neat little ship, if in need of some buffs, but the one thing that is really sticking out for me is the anti-air batteries.

Baltimore is the only tech tree ship in game equipped with surveillance radar, which can easily deny enemy caps and help your team advance.Įquipped with the right upgrade s and skills it is easy to mistake a firing Baltimore for a battleship, the AP shells will quickly destroy enemy battleships and cruisers, when targeted Baltimore is an easy target to send back to port.I have recently acquired the Pensacola.

Survivability of the ship is a mixed bag, the belt armour is capable of bouncing shells of battleship caliber, though stray shells can easily overmatch your bow dealing massive penetration damage, positioning is vital, using island cover to hit the enemy and only coming out when the threat is diminished. Slow shell velocity makes for floaty arcs, out in the open this is a disadvantage but can be quickly converted to an advantage by using islands to lob shells over, minimizing concealment and maximizing firepower. HE shells, may lack HE alpha that of IJN cruisers still have a decent fire chance, but AP shells are more consistent.

The 3x3 203mm guns come with special AP shells that has increased penetration over sharper angles, these guns can deliver huge amounts of damage to broadside battleships, the damage is comparable to top tier battleship salvos. The pinnacle of the US cruiser line, at Tier VII Baltimore is a sheer force to be reckoned with.

Average concealment values combined with the threat it possesses, makes Baltimore a priority target.

Low HE alpha compared to IJN counterparts making HE a less consistent choice.

Whilst the belt armour is strong, the bow and stern armour can be easily penetrated by battleship AP.
