New York — American Tier V battleship.
Developed from the Wyoming class. In contrast to her predecessor, she featured reinforced armor and main battery guns of a larger caliber. When upgraded, she received reasonably good AA defense and improved torpedo protection.

Player Opinion
Performance
The first American superdreadnought, New York is a substantial firepower upgrade from Wyoming with ten (10) 14-inch main guns. These guns can penetrate most targets within two tiers of her. New York is a very short battleship at 573 feet long and, combined with better accuracy than its predecessor, this concentration of firepower means she is a very dangerous target to broadside at short-to-medium range. The midships turret has a very limited engagement arc to either side and usually has to be brought to bear by turning the hull. In terms of protection she is heavily and reliably armored against lateral fire but her deck armor is ineffective against most battleship rounds she will meet, so long-range duels and exposure are best avoided.
Pros:
- Heavily armed with a strong broadside with 10x14" guns in five twin turrets.
- Compact and well armored.
- Upgraded AA is significant for tier and a major hazard to Tier IV carriers.
- Decent dispersion at mid-range which makes New York a deadly target for same or lower tier cruisers
- Much more heavily armored and armed than her Japanese counterpart, Kongo.
Cons:
- Stock hull is a downgrade from elite World War II Wyoming including ineffective AA and secondaries (even when upgraded), poor penetration and extreme sluggishness.
- Worse speed and range compared to Kongo even when upgraded.
- Torpedoes have a higher chance of causing detonations due to the magazines all along the hull
- Very narrow full salvo firing arc, which means you'd have to either show your broadside or don't even bother using 3rd turret.
- Adverse armor scheme is tough but tricky to use.
Research
The stock engines are unusable and will leave you trailing dangerously behind even American Standard battlelines so pursue that upgrade immediately. Afterwards, the hull (the class' WWII refit) is a comprehensive improvement that is much more important to the ship than better fire control.

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 New York with Type 15 camouflage that lowers her detection radius, reduces the accuracy of incoming shells, and increases the amount of experience she earns.Gallery
