I've been to the Texas many times, as I live relatively close. Super cool experience for those interested in naval history. For those who don't know, she is actually still technically in the Navy as the only ship in the Texan Navy. She had torpedo tubes like submarines had that were sealed up in her refit in-between WW1 and WW2. She also did some absolute mad-lad stuff during D-Day when the captain purposely flooded one side of the torpedo protection to create a list so the ship's guns could arc higher and shoot farther and caught a German counterattack by surprise as a result.

As someone who has invested a STUPID amount of battles into the USS New York, I can say the NY-class in general holds a very underlying versatility that is overshadowed by the bad speed. While the side plates are still somewhat weak, they are still side plates for the casemate. You can still bounce shots against wallet warrior Tier VII players stuck in the Erie realm.

[@magiccarpetmadeofsteel4564]

Still not sure why they added the dogshit California for tier 7 when they had post-Pearl Harbor W. Virginia that’d basically be a Colorado _right fuckin’ there_. IMHO, it’d be pretty perfect too: much like how the Arizona is basically a premium New Mexico with worse AA for (IIRC) slightly less bad sigma, (ofc it’s old enough that a premium being equal/identical to the tech tree versus wasn’t done so AZ could just be slightly inferior to NM because “it prints money compared to NM, if you want a _good_ ship play the tech tree with the Captain you trained up using it”), the W. Virginia (194x, x > 1) could be very similar to Colorado but, you know, premium. I doubt many people would buy it, since the Colorado isn’t exactly super good, but _nobody_ who wasn’t a whale or collector bought the California.

Actually, Texas is a _super_ dreadnought; so-called because of her turret arrangement into centerline, superfiring pairs. Your regular dreadnoughts made use of main battery guns in the form of wing turrets. Think: Kawachi, Nassau, and HMS Dreadnought herself.

[@Crazyfrog41]

Actually, Actually, the Texas was a super dreadnought because it was bigger and newer than the second generation dreadnoughts.... the fact that it's turrets where superfiring was mostly irrelevant to the name... several first and second generation dreadnoughts had superfiring turrets, and several first generation super dreadnoughts still had wing turrets

[@alphamaccao5224]

Wrong. USS south carolina and USS wyoming and their sister ships were center line main battery warships that were regular dreadnought. With south carolina having 4x turrets in superfiring arangement.

[@PsyArkron]

Well I haven't played the game in two years or so but I remember back in the days, probably before CVs were reworked from RTS playstyle, I actually had a lot fun with this ship. CVs were the worst thing back then but the Texas with its broken AA could just screw every CV it faced and it was so godly. You could sail across the map and then planes showed up and either the CV knew, went "heck no screw this" and ran or didn't knew and got half of his planes wrecked with you hardly taking any damage. Either way that was always such an amazing change from how you'd get screwed by CVs in pretty much any other ship at that time. So again, I enjoyed my Texas back then and salute the ship. o7

[@mbogucki1]

AA was broken on the Texas? It has more machine gun emplacements then Normandy so of course it chewed planes back in the day. It was the best escort for BBs. Now AA is totally broken.

[@remkirkthegamer1157]

[@khuadedadkasi6425]

Now CV mains can't even fair from Texas t4 or 6 Texas is an easy target now.

[@magiccarpetmadeofsteel4564]

Eh, Texas was never an AA escort, really. It’s always had the 3.5km range, which is pretty purely self-defense. However, I’d bet the intimidation factor probably meant it still had the CV looking for ships on the other side of the map.

The Texas has been my lucky ship since she was put into the game. I remember sailing the New York around pretending it was the Texas and hoping she'd be put in the game one day. Was so excited when she was, and I still sail her from time to time when I bother to update the game and play it again. I know she's real out of meta now, but I'm one of those players who sails her because she is the Texas and I've been aboard her. She's my ship, the first ship I ever set foot one, the first ship I ever got close to even, my first real piece of history I got to explore and a place I've many fond memories of. I'll always sail the Texas because she is my ship.

Yuro typically reserves guides for ships most people don’t know how to play, so probably not. On the other hand, I had NC and later Iowa for at least 6 months and never really learned how to use the insane improvement in speed, range, and concealment from the Colorado to fully utilize those improvements. It’s been over two years now, and I think it’s telling my main memory of New Mexico is being fat but pretty well armed and armored and overall pretty fun, while NC and Iowa were me constantly getting kited when at range, getting my shit kicked in if planes spotted me and negated my low surface and air detection, preventing ambushes, and many ambushes that I _did_ pull off, if I got sweaty palms or unlucky and didn’t dev strike them, I’d be in a “man fight” close range brawl that I was in the wrong ship for (that is to say, for USN, _not_ Massachusetts or Georgia). And that’s when I didn’t forget I had a decent top speed and got myself into a close(-ish) range fight I didn’t want to be in. While not exactly something well-suited to a 10-minute video, I think it’d be a good chance to talk about how you should play at high tiers, and probably more importantly, what your mindset should be.
