This warship was the crown of the developmental process of "standard" battleships in the U.S. Navy.

Player Opinion


Pros:

  • The citadel is located below the waterline, and is hard to hit
  • Good torpedo damage reduction, torpedo bulges cover most of the ship's sides
  • Heavy broadside of twelve (12) 406mm main guns
  • Good AA suite, bolstered by the Defensive AA FireLegends_DFAA.pngconsumable
  • Tight turning circle radius for a battleship



Cons:

  • Due to the shape of the superstructure, Kansas can take large amounts of damage even when properly angled
  • Extensively covered in 32mm plating, vulnerable to HE spam and large caliber AP overmatch, making her rather squishy
  • Mediocre main battery reload time, a whopping 34 seconds
  • Most of Kansas' AA defenses are open mounts, and can be easily destroyed with HE
  • Very slow, with a base speed of 25 knots
