Special

Georgia — American special premium Tier IX battleship.

A "high-speed battleship" project which preceded the Iowa-class ships. The main battery comprised 457 mm guns placed in twin turrets, which were developed alongside the project of the ship herself in 1938.

Georgia was first released for sale worldwide on 14 June 2019. Since Update 0.10.1 the ship is no longer available to purchase. [1]

Player Opinion

Performance

Warning. The data presented in the AA Defense sidebar section may be incorrect.

Georgia is loaded with so many gimmicks that any high tier Soviet, French, or Royal Navy battleship would be envious of her. A low number of hard-hitting guns, superior secondaries, and a special set of consumables make this "paper ship" perform very differently from her US counterparts like Iowa or Missouri.

Georgia comes packed with six 18-inch guns in three twin-turrets, an arrangement that is (rather unfortunately) familiar to Gneisenau captains. She does comes with a much more forgiving dispersion curve and a 26 second reload to compensate, though this is but a small mercy as Georgia will most certainly be lagging behind other battleships in terms of damage output. Still, her broadside power is not to be trifled with, considering she has the second highest AP citadel damage in the game at 15,750 per shell thanks to her hefty 18-inch AP shells, second only to the Shikishima. Needless to say, anyone giving a broadside to what equates to roughly 2/3 of a Yamato-class battleship's main battery is just asking to be sunk.

Adding to that, Georgia’s secondaries are practically identical to those found on Massachusetts, with the same improved range, rate of fire and accuracy. She also borrows Massachusetts’s unique Repair PartyWhile active, restores a percentage of the ship's health points each second. with a faster cooldown, and Bourgogne’s Engine BoostWhile active, increases a ship's speed by a fixed percentage. which increases her speed to nearly 38 knots when active. This does seem to set Georgia up as a mid- and close-range brawler. This isn't really the case as Georgia simply isn't as durable with a more vulnerable citadel, and simply doesn't have the damage output to do so. Generally, players should try to assess the situation to see when is the best opportunity for them to charge in guns blazing or flank around using Georgia’s blistering pace to catch an unaware enemy on the broadside. This is the most efficient way to take advantage of Georgia’s main guns and secondaries to maximise their damage output.

Georgia is undoubtedly the most unique amongst US battleships and because of that, she is pretty fun and comfortable to play. Treating her like an uptiered Massachusetts with more firepower and speed certainly isn't a bad way to play, and it will reward you for it.


Pros:

  • Second highest per shell AP alpha damage of any battleship in the game.
  • Outstanding dispersion for a battleship.
  • Fairly quick main battery reload speed.
  • Accurate, fast firing secondary guns with a very long base range.
  • Fast for a battleship with a speed of 33 knots.
  • Very good AA suite.
  • Improved Engine BoostWhile active, increases a ship's speed by a fixed percentage. with long duration and fast cooldown.
  • Improved Repair PartyWhile active, restores a percentage of the ship's health points each second. with fast cooldown.

Cons:

  • Lowest barrel count of all Tier 9 battleships with only six rifles.
  • Main battery DPM is among the lowest in tier.
  • Short main battery range for tier/class.
  • Same armor profile as Iowa, vulnerable to HE spam.
  • Poor AP shell velocity.
  • Poor torpedo protection.
  • Large turn radius.

Research

As a premium ship, Georgia has no module upgrades to research.

Optimal Configuration

Upgrades

The recommended upgrades for Georgia are as follows:

Commander Skills

Consumables

Georgia can equip the following consumables:

Camouflage

As a premium ship, Georgia comes with Default permanent camouflage and a set of permanent combat bonuses.

Signals

Georgia captains should mount standard signal flags to improve the ship's performance in battle. Sierra Mike (+5% to the ship's maximum speed.) flags are highly recommended to increase the ship's top speed. India Delta (+20% to the amount of HP recovered when the Repair Party consumable is used.) and India Yankee (-20% to fire duration.) flags should be mounted to improve the ship's survivability. November Foxtrot (-5% reload time on all consumables.) flags can also be mounted to decrease consumable cooldown time. Lastly, economic and special signal flags can be mounted to increase the ship's economic gains per battle.


Note: Use of the Juliet Charlie signal makes detonation impossible.
