![]() ![]() But Kansas has a different trick - her Repair Party reloads in half the time! Plus Kansas has much better torpedo protection at 40% vs 19% with a bulge that extends well fore and aft. ![]() The whole fast battleship branch sports 0.66%/second repair party performance Kansas` heals at 0.5%/sec like most other battleships. In their stock hulls, Kansas boasts considerably more health points (HP) than the faster North Carolina: 61,200 vs. She mounts the standard dual (5") 127mm/38 Mark 32 secondary turrets with 5km range, just two fewer of them. She has slightly better maximum dispersion, but lower sigma, meaning her salvos will scatter a bit more within the smaller area.ĭespite her tremendous alpha strike, Kansas is not a brawler. She does not carry SHS AP but throws a lighter 920kg AP shell, allowing a higher muzzle velocity with more comfortable aiming and good short- and mid-range penetration at the cost of maximum range and long-range penetration. She mounts in four triple turrets twelve (16") 406mm/45 Mark 7 rifles with a 40 second (!) base reload time. Kansas inherits her (slow) speed and good citadel protection from her Standard predecessors while adding major improvements in firepower and torpedo protection. ![]() (These designs were made possible by improved propulsion system efficiency and by de-prioritizing armor protection.) The slow battleship branch models how USN battleship designs might have progressed without the requirement to operate in fleet with carriers. The fast battleship branch - North Carolina, South Dakota, Iowa, and Montana-classes - models the change in these requirements so that battleships could operate in fleet with speedy carriers. These were the USN "Standards", represented in-game up through Colorado. Prior to the rise of aircraft carriers in the mid-1930's, the US Navy accepted the trade-off of speed for cruising range, inter-operability, firepower, and, to a lesser extent, protection in a common set of requirements for battleship design. Kansas is the Tier VIII ship in the slow branch. After Tier VII Colorado, the USN battleship tree splits into a "fast" branch and a "slow" branch. ![]()
