Player Opinion

Pros:

• Best-in-tier AA defense. Aircraft from Tier III carriers melt in her vicinity and Tier V carriers will have significant difficulty attempting a second strike if her AA suite is intact.
• The third (amidships) turret has much better firing angles than New York.
• Slightly better torpedo protection and detection ranges than New York.
• Solid AP performance at mid to close ranges.
• Lowered citadel is difficult to hit by equivalent tier battleships.
• Good turning circle radius owing to the low length to beam ratio characteristic of dreadnought battleships.
• Good main battery firing range.

Cons:

• Slow speed of 20.5 knots means she will frequently find herself left behind by her teammates.
• Slightly worse rudder shift than New York gives her less reaction time to dodge incoming torpedoes.
• Her biggest strength — her AA armament — is vulnerable to being knocked out by incoming HE shells; the longer she is under sustained HE fire, the less AA firepower she will have.
• Poor gun firing angles like her sister, you will have to give a significant amount of broadside to bring all her guns to bear
• Prone to poor shell dispersion, accurate long-range gunnery will be difficult.
• 19mm deck and extremity sections make bow-tanking against any battleship or large gun cruisers such as Graf Spee ill-advised, Texas will easily take penetration damage through the nose or rear. Bouncing shells will have to be done with her belt armor.
