Libertad — Pan-American Tier X battleship.

A mighty battleship with a design that could have incorporated a number of design solutions specific to the South American dreadnought race. These include, among other things, an obsolete main battery layout with six twin-gun turrets. The ship's air defenses rely on artillery systems, which the battleship could have received during modernization in the United States in the 1940s.

Player Opinion

Performance

Combat Capability - Modified Secondary Munitions

Libertad is equipped with the Modified Secondary Munitions combat instruction, which improves her secondary battery's range, reload and damage for a short period of time. It can be activated through receiving potential damage and hitting ships with main battery shells.

Requirements:

Can only be used after receiving potential damage or hitting enemy ships with main battery shells.
Progress per 1,000 HP of potential damage received: 0.15%
Progress per main battery hit: 6.5%

Effects:

• Secondary battery firing range: +20%
• Secondary battery reload time: -15%
• Secondary battery damage: +25%
• Action time: 30 seconds
  
  

Topping off the Pan-American Battleships line, Libertad offers the best of the secondary battery focused close range playstyle.

Armament

Libertad's main battery comprises of twelve 419 mm guns with average dispersion for a battleship. They mostly useful for punishing broadsides.

Libertad's main reliance on damage are her powerful secondary battery guns featuring the same accuracy and range as Schlieffen and excellent firing angles. Libertad's main secondary battery of twenty 234mm guns feature high alpha damage and can pen 59mm of armor dealing big amounts of damage to enemy capital ships, they have a slow reload speedLibertad also carries eight 127mm guns to light fires and assist the 234mm secondaries with destroyers. The arcing trajectory of the secondary battery is a double edged sword, on one hand, this enables the secondary battery to at targets from behind islands, on the other hand, this hampers their accuracy against destroyers at long ranges. To boost her secondaries in battle, Libertad has combat instructions. This makes Libertad very effective when fighting within 12km.

Survivability

Libertad has a good armor scheme minus the bow and stern that makes her very resistant to HE shells. Libertad's citadel is protected by spaced armor. Libertad's long hull makes her a big target for torpedoes.

Anti-aircraft

Libertad's AA is mediocre,

Battle performance

Libertad is best played at a range of 12km where she can use her secondary guns to her advantage.

Pros:

Cons:

Research

As a top-tier ship, Libertad has no module upgrades to research.
