Los Andes — Pan-American Tier IX battleship.

A fast battleship that could have been ordered by Argentina and built at British shipyards, she embodies various shipbuilding traditions of the first half of the 20th century. Her powerful 234 mm secondary guns, typical of the 1900s, complement the main battery—twelve 381 mm guns developed in the 1910s. The dual-purpose guns and anti-aircraft armament are all U.S.-made artillery systems from the 1940s.

Player Opinion

Performance

Combat Capability - Modified Secondary Munitions

Los Andes 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
