Special

Puerto Rico — American special premium Tier X cruiser.

  • Massive HP pool for a Tier X Cruiser, comparable to Tier IX battleships
  • Resilient armor scheme, very difficult to citadel
  • Excellent torpedo protection, comparable to battleships in effectiveness
  • Twelve 305mm rifles gives her a heavy broadside salvo
  • Powerful AP shells with high base damage and improved penetration angles
  • Access to 10km Surveillance RadarWhile active, detects all enemy ships within the specified radius, disregarding obstacles such as smoke and terrain., a powerful tool against destroyers and smoke cruisers

    Puerto Rico was the reward for the first Dockyard event during Christmas 2019, and returned as the reward for the Dockyard event starting in Update 0.11.7. She has not been available outside those two Dockyard events. (A few were available during a charity event in early 2022, where successful bidders were in the $800+ range.)

Player Opinion



Cons:

  • Large hull, relatively easy to hit
  • Mediocre accuracy and slow reloading, relying more on her high alpha strike to kill ships
  • Lack of torpedo or effective secondary armament, hurting her effectiveness at very close range
  • Large turning radius and very slow rudder shift time
  • Poor concealment values, relatively easy to detect by other ships


Research

As a special ship, Puerto Rico doesn't have any modules to research.

Optimal Configuration

Upgrades

The recommended upgrades for Puerto Rico in Randoms are as follows:

Slot 1: Main Armaments Modification 1 -20% to the risk of main battery becoming incapacitated. / +50% to main battery survivability. / -20% to main battery repair time. / -20% to the risk of torpedo tubes becoming incapacitated. / +50% to torpedo tubes survivability. / -20% to torpedo tubes repair time. is highly recommended as it reduces the chance of her turrets getting incapacitated. Auxiliary Armaments Modification 1 : +100% survivability to each. is also a viable option as it helps the AA mounts survive into the late game.

Slot 2: There are several interesting build options in this slot. Of those, Surveillance Radar Modification 1 :  +20% action time. and Hydroacoustic Search Modification 1 Increases the action time of the Hydroacoustic Search and Short-Range Hydroacoustic Search consumables.: +20% action time. are great choices as they increase the duration of their respective consumables. If the player does not have these upgrades, then Damage Control System Modification 1: -5% to the risk of fire. / -3% to the risk of flooding when torpedoes hit the torpedo protection. is a viable alternative.

Slot 3: Aiming Systems Modification 1 : -7% main battery dispersion. / +20% torpedo tubes traverse speed. / +5% secondary battery firing range. / -5% secondary battery dispersion.

Slot 4: This slot can address either her maneuverability or vulnerability to fires. Steering Gears Modification 1 : -20% rudder shift time. is an excellent choice as Puerto Rico has the slowest rudder shift of all Tier X cruisers. Damage Control System Modification 2 : -15% flooding recovery time. / -15% fire duration. is a good alternative if the player finds himself frequently on fire

Slot 5: Concealment System Modification 1: -10% to detectability radius. / +5% to the dispersion of enemy shells fired at your ship. is the preferred option as reducing her concealment provides far greater improvements than any other option available.

Slot 6: For most players, Main Battery Modification 3 : -12% main battery loading time. / -13% main battery traverse speed. is recommended as it significantly speeds up her reload time. If the player finds the base gun range too short, Gun Fire Control System Modification 2 : +16% firing range. is a viable alternative though keep in mind her slow shells still make it difficult to land shells on target.
