Wyoming — American Tier IV battleship.

In 1908, a discussion arose within the U.S. Navy regarding the possibility of transitioning to a larger caliber for battleship guns, inspired by the British example. To save time on infrastructure conversion and avoid additional design efforts, a decision was made to keep the main caliber of battleships under construction at 305 mm while increasing the number of guns to 12. Upon entering service, USS Wyoming assumed the flagship role for the Atlantic Fleet and actively took part in the occupation of Veracruz. During World War I, the battleship reinforced the British fleet by relocating to Scapa Flow. She then escorted convoys and conducted patrols in the North Sea.

After upgrading from South Carolina, players will be happy with Wyoming at Tier IV. She is a worthy upgrade, being well-armored and having decent firepower. Additionally, Wyoming benefits from protected matchmaking through 200 games. Unless a player joins a division with a Tier V ship, the highest tier game Wyoming will encounter is Tier V. This benefits Wyoming, as she will never see the powerful ships at Tier VI.

Wyoming is a well armored dreadnought, making her one of the toughest ships in the lower tiers. This armor allows her to brawl with Tier V battleships, but care should still be taken to avoid showing full broadside to battleships when possible. Wyoming is armed with six turrets, each with two 12" rifles. These guns provide her with a devastating broadside — if she connects with her target.

Counteracting the armor and firepower, Wyoming's turrets are very slow turning, so it is important to try to plan maneuvers in advance and try to avoid having to complete a 180-degree turret rotation in the heat of battle. This is doubly important when her maneuverability is considered. Wyoming is very slow, and it may take her an entire game to get across the map. As the battle begins, it is hugely important to try to read the map and see which way the enemy is going. However, Wyoming has excellent gun range for a Tier IV battleship that allows her to hit distant targets if she finds herself out of position. At close range, Wyoming has a secondary battery that can tear apart destroyers. This is useful if a destroyer manages to sneak up on her. Overall, Wyoming is a good ship that is capable of devastating cruisers as well as battleships. To be used to her maximum potential, it is essential to read the map and plan tactical maneuvers and engagements prior to carrying them out. Players will experience the most success when supported by friendly destroyers and cruisers.

Pros:

  • Well armored for her tier
  • A devastating broadside
  • Excellent main battery firing range (for her tier), especially when fully upgraded.
  • Armor piercing (AP) shells can penetrate the armor and citadel of any ship she can encounter.
  • With a short turning radius, Wyoming is capable of dodging torpedoes surprisingly well.
  • Decent anti-aircraft suite.

Cons:

  • Painfully slow, even slower than US Standard BBs.
  • Weak torpedo protection.
  • Turret 3 has bad firing angles that require the ship to expose much of her broadside to fire.
  • Slow turret traverse speed.
  • Turret configuration is a curveball to players fresh off of South Carolina.
  • Top hull (B) has a very weak secondary battery for a battleship with only three slow-firing, short-range barrels per side.

    In replay files, Wyoming is named Arkansas.

Research

This is a suggested research path:

  1. Propulsion Mod. 2
  2. Wyoming (B) Hull
  3. Mk4 Gun Fire Control System Mod. 2
Players should prioritize the propulsion upgrade to improve her top speed. Afterwards, the hull upgrade is necessary to further improve her maneuverability (by reducing rudder shift time), increase main battery turret rotation, and install anti-aircraft armaments, which will be important against the Tier IV carriers. Finally, the range upgrade should be researched and mounted to provide Wyoming with excellent firing range.
