Buffalo — American Tier IX cruiser.

This heavy cruiser design appeared soon after the completion of development of cruiser Baltimore and was her direct successor (Project CA-B). The increased water displacement allowed engineers to significantly reinforce the ship's armor protection and armament. The number of main guns was augmented to total 12 overall.

Player Opinion

Performance

Buffalo is, by and large, a direct upgrade from Baltimore before her. Carrying twelve 8" rifles in four triple turrets, two fore and two aft, 47,800 hitpoints, decent armour, excellent gun handling, and powerful AA, Buffalo has the makings of a truly powerful heavy cruiser. As a high tier American cruiser, Buffalo has three consumable slots beyond Damage Control Party  - A choice between Defensive AA Fire  and Hydroacoustic Search , A choice between Spotting Aircraft , Catapult Fighter , and Surveillance Radar , and Repair Party . Thanks to her high health, Buffalo enjoys one of the most potent Repair Party  heals for cruisers of her tier. Buffalo has the tools to face any opponent, with her famed American anti-aircraft power capable of fending off planes, Radar for hunting down destroyers, American super-heavy AP shells that can make a mess of cruisers, and a heavy HE broadside coupled with her accuracy makes scoring nearly-full salvos on battleships easy.

Against other cruisers of her tier, however, Buffalo is sorely lacking torpedoes. While she can fend off most other cruisers, she lacks the alpha-strike potential that comes from torpedoes to allow her to deal with battleships quickly, against which she can find herself outmatched in a prolonged brawl. Buffalo fights best against enemy battleships at medium to long range, using islands as cover, as she is a large target. The other issue with Buffalo is her limited range, at only 15.6km, the shortest range of all current Tier IX cruisers. This can be mitigated, but it requires sacrificing either Radar for the Spotting Aircraft, or equipping Gun Fire Control System Mod 2 in her 6th Upgrade slot.

Pros:

Boasts superior firepower to most of her contemporaries.
Third highest health pool among Tier IX cruisers at 47,800 hit points.
Excellent all-around survivability for a cruiser.
Powerful AA suite, as is standard with American ships.
Decent concealment.

Cons:

Large size makes her an easier target.
Suffers from one of the longest reloads for cruisers of her tier.
Shortest main battery range among all Tier IX cruisers.
Very poor torpedo damage reduction at only 4%.
Relatively sluggish compared to its predecessor and contemporaries, with a larger turning circle and significantly longer rudder shift time when stock.

Research

Availability of researchable upgrades for Buffalo is as follows:

Hull: Upgrade to Hull (B) for improved health, AA, and rudder shift. Research of this module unlocks progression to Des Moines.
Gun Fire Control System: Upgrade to Gun Fire Control System for an extra 10% range on the main battery.

Optimal Configuration

Upgrades

The recommended upgrades for Buffalo are as follows:

Slot 1: Main Armaments Modification 1
Slot 2: Damage Control System Modification 1  or Surveillance Radar Modification 1
Slot 3: AA Guns Modification 1
Slot 4: Steering Gears Modification 1
Slot 5: Concealment System Modification 1 
Slot 6: Main Battery Modification 3

Consumables

Buffalo can equip the following consumables:

Slot 1: Damage Control Party 
Slot 2: Defensive AA Fire  or Hydroacoustic Search 
Slot 3: Spotting Aircraft  or Catapult Fighter  or Surveillance Radar 
Slot 4: Repair Party

Camouflage

Type 1, 2, or 5 camouflage can be equipped for credits; Types 2 or 5 are recommended at a minimum to reduce the accuracy of incoming shells.

Players who wish to spend doubloons can equip Buffalo with Type 19 camouflage that lowers her detection radius, reduces the accuracy of incoming shells, reduces her repair costs, and increases the amount of experience she earns.

-PERFORMANCE SECTION GUIDELINES
-.  Write a brief intro paragraph of 1-3 sentences.
-.  Write 1-3 paragraphs of "meat".  Talk about what the ship does well, what it doesn't, how it compares to same tier ships of the same type, how it compares to the previous ship in the tech tree, whatever.  Try to avoid quoting vital statistics to players unless it is really relevant (i.e. concealment); they can see those in the sidebar on the right and don't need them read back.
-.  Write a brief summary paragraph of 1-3 sentences highlighting the key takeaways from the paragraphs above.
