Player Opinion
Performance
Marblehead is a variant of the American Tier V cruiser Omaha. When the two ships are put side-by-side, Marblehead has the most in common with Omaha’s (B) hull, with the gun and firing control upgrades. As such, it has eight guns. In addition, the AA remains the same as on Omaha’s (A) hull, which means it's all but non-existent. However, it does come with a catapult fighter, which can be launched to intercept incoming bombers and can make up for the small amount of AA if used wisely.
Unfortunately, it does not have the lower torpedo launchers of Omaha, and Marblehead’s launchers use different torpedoes with completely different specifications. As a result, the play style when using torpedoes is quite different. To begin with, the salvo has fewer torpedoes as the hull is left with two triple-tube launchers instead of four. While they have an impressive range of 8.2 km, making them more useful for flooding or weakening BBs, they cannot be relied upon to sink an enemy at range due to poor speed of only 49 knots, making each salvo easier to evade. Furthermore, the low damage is painful if attempting to kill a single target, as each inflicts only 6233 damage max. However, at close range or against multiple targets, the torpedoes do have a fast reload time of 38 seconds compared to Murmansk’s 69 seconds and Omaha’s 44.Pros:
- Very rapid firing weapons, and lots of them.
- Torpedoes have the range to harass enemy battleships.
- Carries a catapult fighter to supplement AA defenses.
- Good maneuverability.
Cons:
- Weak armor makes it susceptible to citadel penetrations from the enemy.
- Large detection range and poor AA.
- Torpedoes have low damage and are easy to avoid (especially at long range).
- Inferior to Murmansk in every aspect.
