Rhode Island - New american tier 10 battleship with nearly every gimmick in the game!

[@Scotzie69]

When comes the T10 Russian BB W. Putin with 6x4 510mm gun turrets, reload time about 10sec with free 200% reload boost like Austin; with 6x6 torp launcher each side, reload time 50sec all launchers together, 30km with 100knots speed and double dmg than Shima torps; 25km secondaries (20×3 350mm each side); HE or SAP or AP; 20 min smoke like Venezia; 50km radar for 10min by 30sec reload; 250'000hp with no citadell; 80% torps-protection; planes like Nachimov every 1 min and?

[@savvi-o1088]

Nah.. that won't happen!😅😂

[@glhmedic]

And of course it will be based on a “real” historical design.

[@luke_3_113]

Will be available from Loot Boxes for 20000 doubloons each and 1% chance of drop.... That's WarGambling for you :P

[@xxxthwagdrakexxx4672]

You forgot the commander instructions where once you land 15 shells in 2 minutes you call the red Oktober herself and she nukes 5 positions in a 4 km radius

[@bigpoppa1234]

"balanced by no depth charge"

[@sargisshirinyan207]

27mm bow stern, not 32 sadly

[@DrSid42]

Nearly every gimmick ? It doesn't have planes, torps, hydro, defense AA, reload booster, any kind of smoke, burst fire or combat instructions. By modern standards, it's pretty bare bones BB.

[@Taooflu]

It can’t launch a sub from its own butt either. Fail BB 😂

[@DrSid42]

@@Taooflu Kitakami 2 ? I'm in !

[@dzello]

It has the American gimmicks.

[@roberttucker8129]

This thing seems like just basically a USS Florida at tier X with extra stuff

[@carlosrivas1629]

Right?

[@DKon3]

Dude this is insane! Were those dolphins swimming next to your ship at the start? Awesome! Guess you miss that stuff when you play on minimal settings

[@rantanplan178]

Jeez, do you play this game on a raspberry 1? Always wondered who actually needs to play on minimal Settings in this 8 year old gamne. :)

[@antiqas]

Dolphins are special feature which comes with premium ships you spend enough doublons for. If you splash our for Kitakami they actually turn into mermaids.

[@worndown8280]

They are just making fantasy ships now arent they?

[@QuantumShock1]

They ran out of real ships about five years ago

[@macbeth2354]

There was a USS Rhode Island, although very far from this design. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Rhode_Island_(BB-17) Also a nuclear submarine with that name. And a Nova class Federation starship in Star Trek :))

[@Dragonwolf920]

They've been at it for years

[@worndown8280]

@@user-sr8in3je6m Yea but I mean at least the Montana Class was actually planned. They just went with the Iowas instead

[@Neneset]

@@worndown8280 False. Montana class was the following class to the Iowas. The Montanas were ordered, but then canceled before any were actually laid down.

[@bigpoppa1234]

When I used to play my favourite ship in the game was Georgia. If I'd had this as well I'd probably have never touched another ship ever again.

[@TheSystem030]

Super more radar!! As a DD main its crazy what have happend the last years time. Every fricking ship class seems to have radar/hydro and torps. And you got subs and cv also spotting you lol. Guess DD´s should now be played like super light cruisers (sit behind island).

[@mikestevens4950]

If my DD doesnt reach 40knts without boost I play it exactly like this for a while now. Without the speed every small mistake becomes a deathsentence. You got a little distracted while spotting and got to 11,5 to a Nevsky? Youre dead now. You are hammering a BB over 4km in Smoke and do good damage? Too bad, a Desmo got to 9k, youre spoted for almost 50s now -> youre dead. Oh yeah, the BB has hydro too :p

[@Taooflu]

To be fair DDs still tip games 9/10 - so I think it’s okay to have counters. CV sporting though…

[@CesarinPillinGaming]

meh, radar isnt the issue. Cv and plane saturation is.

[@Virgilfinnatell]

@@mikestevens4950maybe don’t get distracted and just keep an eye on the minimap. Even if they aren’t spotted, you’d much rather play a little passive initially until they are spotted than push in, get radared and dying.

[@michabanasiak2073]

@@mikestevens4950 I couldn't agree more. Exactly same experience. Radars, hydros, subs nad CVs. DD players are suffering in this game heavily.

[@hagostaeldmann]

It's Puerto Rico with a worse hull, worse utility (by a lot), but gains a speedboost, good heals, and fire prevention. If you don't like PR you won't like RI. If you like to push in PR you'll really like RI, and like it more. If you like to damage farm in PR, RI is about the same.

[@bias9440]

i have puerto rico and rhode island, rhode island more fun. i run 20% rudder shift. the speed and heals make a bigger difference than you think

[@reaperone7325]

how much it cost you to get the rhode island? is it worth it?

[@MegaMonty28]

How did u deactivate the UI?

[@luke_3_113]

"J" I think.

[@Regailion]

That thing is almost the size of rhode island

[@5kgBirnen]

the accuracy on this ship is kinda crazy, i wonder who at WG was like "hmm that ship is too weak we need to buff this ship". Prove to me that WG values money more than the game quality

[@tronjeotten1510]

I was lucky, I got it in the first bundle... I started the game and thought, let´s have a look and there she was....

[@suburbanview]

LOL WG is making a BB for every state of America! That is a lot of money LOL

[@bella_ciao4608]

Fun fact, every US state that was a state at the time of battleship construction in the US navy (excluding Hawaii and Alaska) had a completed battleship named after it. Except for one. Montana.

[@suburbanview]

Thanks for the Info@@bella_ciao4608

First real American battle cruiser

when will subs with heal come into the game? Also: RIP cruiser with that concealment. Really sad.

GG! Three against one, shh no problem.

[@Therabithole]

Gosh, not another radar ship! As a DD player is getting harder and harder to be in the first line. Dealing with subs is a nightmare.

[@garystew2077]

Couldn't agree more. It's so hard to cap contest with all of these radars, CVs, and subs.

[@philippos5547]

That's why I stopped playing as a DD main.

[@TeensierPython]

What do the Japanese BBs get? They have no gimmick. Nothing. Most vanilla ship in the game.

[@oldfrend]

14 inch guns with 20 second reload. i guess alaska is finally obsolete.

[@emirkacan1759]

T10 florida with radar

[@MrAlbutiu]

👌.

[@michabanasiak2073]

But it looks like a paper ship tbh. If you over commit or You are just not paying attention you are done.

[@trenlass809]

just like most cruisers :D

Remember MEN OF WAR, assault squad game? They fade away because they tried to be realistic in each army's guns capabilities. WG didnt give a shit about that, and that makes money!

A very selfish game.

LOL if u are lucky u can get it for 20T doubloons LOL Its just annoying LOL
