New Mexico — American Tier VI battleship.

The ship closely resembles the Pennsylvania class but incorporates several enhancements, including a redesigned aft end, new 50-caliber main guns in individual slides, and an experimental turbo-electric propulsion plant. Upon her entry into service, USS New Mexico joined the Atlantic Fleet, and after the end of World War I, she was transferred to the Pacific Ocean. During World War II, the battleship escorted convoys in the Pacific Ocean; took part in the Aleutian Islands campaign; and provided cover for assault landings on the Marshall Islands, Mariana Islands, and Okinawa, as well as in the Philippines.

Player Opinion

Performance

New Mexico is the first taste of the "US Standard Battleship" type. Compared to her peers, New Mexico boasts the advantage of possessing a large broadside of twelve 356 mm rifles - but suffers from wonky accuracy at range. To compensate that, she must get close to the enemy, and fortunately New Mexico is exceedingly proficient at short to medium range combat due to her excellent rudder and tight turning circles aided by decent concealment to surprise the enemy, but going in requires foresight and planning because of her slow speed to chase or escape. Players are well advised to be careful when positioning themselves as New Mexico can easily be caught overextended, easily taking damage if not angled properly, and her bow plating are prone to overmatch by guns 380 mm or 15 inches up.

Pros:

The main battery has twelve powerful guns.
Good shell velocity.
Good main battery firing angles.
Very well-armored if angled properly.
Exceptional torpedo protection.
Respectable anti-aircraft protection for Tier VI.
Tight turning radius for a battleship.
Good concealment for a battleship.

Cons:

Poor turret traverse.
Poor main battery accuracy.
Slow main battery reload.
Weak secondary armament.
Slow speed, and even slower acceleration.
Large superstructure.

Optimal Configuration

Upgrades

Slot 1: Main Armaments Modification 1
Slot 2: Damage Control System Modification 1  lessens fire damage taken.
Slot 3: Artillery Plotting Room Modification 1 * will increase range and give secondaries a slight boost in range and accuracy.
Slot 4: Steering Gears Modification 1 allows for a faster rudder shift to better dodge incoming fire.

Commander Skills

Because US battleships tend to have excellent anti-aircraft suites and poor secondary batteries, captain skills which increase the defensive abilities of the ship are recommended.
