Player Opinion

Performance

More pocket battleship than cruiser, new players and experienced hands alike will enjoy this ship's high firepower but dislike it's slow top speed. With the decent fire rate and and large volume of shells, ' is effective against all opponents, even at long range. When fighting enemy battleships, one should "rake" them - target the front, centre and back sections in turn to maximise your chances of setting multiple fires. Players should stay vigilant for enemy torpedoes as ' doesn't have very good rudder shift time. Additionally, players should not need to activate Damage Control Party 

for any knocked main battery, as the ship still has another seven main batteries constantly firing. ' is one of the few cruisers that can take on an equal Tier battleship on relatively even terms (especially the underpowered South Carolina). It can even prove a threat to the Tier IV ships.

Pros:

Has the most hit points of any Tier III cruiser - almost comparable to its fellow Tier III USN battleship South Carolina battleship
The most main batteries and secondaries of any Tier III cruiser - boasts a whopping 14x1 152mm guns and 18x1 76.2mm guns, while its Tier III VMF cruiser counterpart Bogatyr has as many but only 130mm, fire, and turn slower. Additionally, due to the side mounted guns, it allows for flexibility and quick reaction to switching targets from either side.
Side mounted guns means only a maximum of eight out of the fourteen primary guns can be used on a single target when broadside, and even fewer when facing directly ahead or rearward.
Good turning radius.

Cons:

Low top speed - barely faster than South Carolina
Rather slow rudder shift time.
Negligible anti-air capabilities - because it is Tier III, it will most likely see carriers Langley and Hosho; will have no self-defense

Research

This is a suggested research path:

St. Louis (B) Hull
152 mm/50 Mk6 main batteries mod. 2
Mk3 FCS mod. 2

Optimal Configuration

Upgrades

The recommended upgrades for ' are as follows:

Slot 1: Main Armaments Modification 1 keeps the guns active and firing.
Slot 2: Damage Control System Modification 1  the ship takes a lot of HE shell hits, this helps decrease the amount of fires set.

 ====Service====
-As part of three armored cruisers authorized to be constructed in the early 1900s, the USS ''St. Louis'' (C-20) was initially constructed as an improved version of the ''Columbia''-class cruiser. However, initial design decisions led her to have an increase in size and weight, from 6000 tons to 9700 tons - the same weight as a fully armored cruiser but without similar armor or armament. The ''St. Louis'' was intended to be outfitted with 203mm, increased speed, cruising range, and armor, but was completed with 152mm cannons, a larger power plant, and extra fuel capacity. Due to this mishmash of improvements, the ''St. Louis''-class cruisers were considered as semi-armored cruisers, in between the class of protected cruisers and armored cruisers. But at the time, the ''Register of Ships of the US Navy'' listed them as "protected cruisers." The ''St. Louis''-class cruisers were decommissioned in early 1920s and sold for scrap in 1930 as per the London Naval Treaty.
+The USS St. Louis was the lead ship of her class of protected cruisers. Laid down on July 31th 1902 and launched on May 4th 1905, she got fitted out until August 1906 when she was then commissioned into service. She was designated as C-20, the 20th protected cruiser of the USN.
+The first ten years of her career USS St. Louis spent in the Pacific, where she served multiple purposes. The first six years she was a training ship, In 1914, she was designated as a receiving ship. A receiving ship is a ship for new cadets to live on. Two years later, in 1916, she was used as a submarine support ship.
+With the entrance of the US into World War 1 in 1917, USS St. Louis was sent to the Atlantic to serve there as an escort and transport vessel. After the Armistice, she transported numerous American soldiers back home from Europe.
+After being reclassified as CA-18 in July 1920, she departed for the Mediterranean as there was a great turmoil in Turkey, and the Civil War in Russia was still raging on. USS St. Louis returned from this mission in 1921.
+On March 03rd 1922 USS St. Louis was decommissioned and a reserve ship for the next eight years. The Naval Treaty of London put limits onto the total tonnage of Cruisers that the US was permitted, old ships and reserve ships were chosen to be scrapped. USS St. Louis and her sister ships were also chosen, therefore she was sold for scrap on August 13th 1930 and then scrapped.
