Atlanta B — American special premium Tier VII cruiser.

A light cruiser specifically designed for operations alongside destroyers. During World War II, USS Atlanta participated in the Battle of Midway and provided cover for U.S. naval task groups off the coast of the Solomon Islands. On November 12, 1942, during the Battle of Guadalcanal, the cruiser was struck by a torpedo from a Japanese destroyer, followed by several accidental hits from 203 mm shells fired by an American ship. On the following day, the cruiser was sunk on her captain's orders while being towed. Over the course of the war, the ship was awarded five battle stars.

First released for Black Friday 2020 from November 27th until December 4th.

Player Opinion

Performance

Atlanta B is identical to Atlanta except for her paint job. The following is copied from Atlanta.

Atlanta is a Tier VII American cruiser that plays like a "tweener"; she can be used as a slightly under-gunned light cruiser, or she can be played as "heavy" destroyer.

Success in game depends on finding the sweet spot between the two. At 27,500 HP and a good chance that one of the heavyweights on the enemy team will hit critical areas if given a clean shot, it's best to weave through friendly traffic, get in close (the 5-inch main guns have a range of a touch over 11km) and spray whatever target is a priority with HE rounds. She'll do far more damage with fire than she will with actual shell impacts. AP rounds are highly situational with this ship as they will only penetrate broadside targets at point-blank range (less than 5km); however, they can be utterly devastating if her captain knows when to use them.

Atlanta - and her sister ship, Flint - are unique in the game in that they have unlimited charges of the Defensive AA FireWhile active, the damage per second of large caliber anti-aircraft guns is increased.. When coupled with her excellent anti-aircraft armament, she utterly shreds enemy planes. As of patch 0.5.9.0, Atlanta has also been given access to the Surveillance RadarWhile active, detects all enemy ships within the specified radius, disregarding obstacles such as smoke and terrain., making her an even bigger threat to enemy destroyers.

Pros:

  • Fast main battery traverse speed
  • Extremely high DPM and shell volume for a Tier 7 cruiser
  • Very high shell arcs allow to safely shoot over islands
  • Tight turn radius
  • Good long range (flak) AA suite
  • Equipped with torpedoes with good damage and speed
  • Access to the Surveillance RadarWhile active, detects all enemy ships within the specified radius, disregarding obstacles such as smoke and terrain. consumable
  • The Defensive AA FireWhile active, the damage per second of large caliber anti-aircraft guns is increased. consumable has unlimited charges

Cons:

  • Small hitpoint pool and no usable armor, poor survivability
  • Torpedoes are very short ranged
  • Abysmal main battery base range, barely better than Atlanta's base surface detection
  • Poor shell velocity makes hitting targets at range difficult
  • Low AA DPS with no mid-range aura
  • Slow rudder shift for such a small ship
  • Requires several 4-point captain skills to perform optimally
