Performance
Practically the Pensacola upchucked at the cost of losing a turret, the New Orleans proves her worth as being one of the most solid cruisers at her tier. While she can not match her Japanese counterpart the Mogami in terms of destroyer or cruiser shredding, her guns are sound enough to deal practical damage to her heavy cruiser colleagues and her rate of fire makes her into a sizable asset as well as with her good AA suite.
Pros
- faster firing high caliber guns
- improved response time
- citadel has increased armor
- good ergonomics
- all turrets are now triple mount instead of only the two superfiring turrets being triple mount and the two on deck turrets being dual mount
Cons
- what is basically a souped up Pensacola at tier 8
- loses a turret compared to her predecessor
Historical Info
These ships participated in the heaviest surface battles of the Pacific War. Astoria, Quincy, and Vincennes were all sunk in the Battle of Savo Island, and three others were heavily damaged in subsequent battles in the Guadalcanal campaign. Only Tuscaloosa, the single ship of the class to spend most of World War II in the Atlantic, got through the war without being damaged. Collectively, ships of the class earned 64 battle stars.
