Player Opinion

Performance

Warning: The data presented in the AA Defense sidebar section may be incorrect.
Refer to the in-game Port screens for more useful data.

For a Tier I ship, <value_unset_error> has the worst rate of fire, making her possibly the worst Tier I ship to play. Coupled with the slow turret traverse which cannot benefit from the +2.5deg/s due to the main battery caliber, it can make Erie somewhat frustrating to play. However, she is merely the start of the USN cruiser line and does not represent the performance of later tier cruisers, as players will quickly discover upon playing ships such as Cleveland.

Pros:

Brilliant armor (best of all Tier I ships).
Highest chance of causing a fire of all Tier I ships.
9.6km Gun range.
Guns are quite accurate with a small dispersion arc.
Largest caliber guns of all Tier I ships.

Cons:

Second-longest reload time of all Tier I ships.
Second-slowest turret rotation of all Tier I ships.
Second-lowest damage per minute of all Tier I ships.
Big and therefore easy to hit.
Seems to lose its forward gun often.
Can get ahead of its support ships and get caught alone.
The concealment is almost useless as she only has guns to rely on.

Research

Like other Tier I ships, Erie only has the gun fire control systems module available to research. This module increases her range by 10%, bringing her firing range to 9.6km.

Optimal Configuration

Upgrades

Slot 1: [[Ship:Upgrades#Main_Armaments_Modification.C2.A01|]] keeps the guns active and firing.
