Legends_Battleship_Icon.png Maine — American • Tech Tree • Tier VIII • Battleship.

Maine is based on a pair of small studies conducted in July 1940 at the request of the U.S. Navy General Board to show what advantages might be gained from having ten guns in an equally distributed layout. Since the design didn't provide any significant weight or cost savings, they eventually progressed to a full twelve-gun design.

Player Opinion

Battleship - Maine

Pros:

  • Very strong AP broadside
  • Great main battery range
  • Good main battery firing angles allow for fairly effective angling
  • Very good main battery accuracy when equipped with the Artillery Plotting Room module
  • Nice durability - good HP pool, deck armor, and main belt armor
  • Strong AA defenses



Cons:

  • Poor HE damage output and fire chance
  • Very slow rudder shift, worst among Tier VIII battleships
  • Very vulnerable to citadel penetrations when showing a full broadside
  • Secondaries are rather ineffective and should not be relied upon
  • Poor concealment
  • Does not have any unique gimmicks going for it
