Player Opinion
Performance
Pros:
- Has the most hit points of any Tier III cruiser - almost comparable to its fellow Tier III USN battleship South Carolina battleship
- The most main batteries and secondaries of any Tier III cruiser - boasts a whopping 14x1 152mm guns and 18x1 76.2mm guns, while its Tier III VMF cruiser counterpart Bogatyr has as many but only 130mm, fire, and turn slower. Additionally, due to the side mounted guns, it allows for flexibility and quick reaction to switching targets from either side.
- Better than average gun range for her tier.
- Good turning radius.
Cons:
- Low top speed - barely faster than South Carolina
- Slow reload for her tier and higher dispersion (less accurate)
- Negligible anti-air capabilities - because it is Tier III, it will most likely see carriers Langley and Hosho; will have no self-defense.
- Side mounted guns means only a maximum of eight out of the fourteen primary guns can be used on a single target when broadside, and even fewer when facing directly ahead or rearward.
Research
This is a suggested research path:
- St. Louis (B) Hull
- 152 mm/50 Mk6 main batteries mod. 2
- Mk3 FCS mod. 2
Optimal Configuration
Upgrades
The recommended upgrades for St. Louis are as follows:
- Slot 1: Main Armaments Modification 1 keeps the guns active and firing.
- Slot 2: Damage Control System Modification 1 the ship takes a lot of HE shell hits, this helps decrease the amount of fires set.
