Minnesota — American Tier IX battleship.

A possible upgraded design of one of the never-built battleships of the South Dakota class. From 1941 to 1944, all conventional battleships of the U.S. Navy underwent significant modernization, including the addition of massive bulges that increased the ships' displacement. Those improvements included an expanded array of AA guns, seaplane catapults, and horizontal protection enhancements. Had South Dakota-class battleships been built and in service by the start of World War II, they would likely have undergone a comparable upgrade.

Player Opinion

Pros:

Heavy broadside of twelve (12) main guns
Excellent main battery range
Ship sides are covered with a uniform 38mm outer belt, a good protection against HE shells
Good torpedo protection with a 40% damage reduction
Tight turn radius and good rudder shift for a Tier 9 battleship
Has access to Defensive AA Fire , further boosting its already good AA defenses

Cons:

Slowest Tier 9 battleship, with a speed of 23 knots
Worst reload speed among Tier 9 battleships, a whopping 40 seconds
Less hitpoints than fast counterpart Iowa
AP penetration is fairly lacking for a Tier 9 battleship, can struggle against heavily armored targets
Lacks the improved Repair Party  found on other USN battleships

Research

Availability of researchable upgrades for Minnesota is as follows:

Upgrade to Hull (B) for more HP, more AA mounts, and a faster rudder shift. Research of this module unlocks progression to Vermont.
Upgrade to the Mk.9 mod 2 Gun Fire Control System for an extra 10% range on her already-good main battery range.

Optimal Configuration

Skill points and upgrades should be invested to maximize Minnesota's survivability and concealment, as well as main battery accuracy.

Upgrades

The recommended upgrades for Minnesota are as follows:

Slot 1: Main Armaments Modification 1
Slot 2: Damage Control System Modification 1 
Slot 3: Main Battery Modification 2
Slot 4: Damage Control System Modification 2
Slot 5: Concealment System Modification 1 
Slot 6: Artillery Plotting Room Modification 2

Consumables

Type 1, 2, or 5 camouflage can be equipped for credits; Types 1 or 5 are recommended at a minimum to reduce detectibility range.

Players who wish to spend doubloons can equip Minnesota 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.
