Performance
Texas is a late World War II variant of the American Tier V New York-class battleship. She has essentially the same primary statistics as New York; her health pool, armor, guns, turret traverse, and range are all the same. There are subtle differences in her speed (0.5 kts slower), detectability ranges (slightly improved), rudder shift (also slightly improved), and dispersion (slightly worse). The firing angles of her middle turret are also a vast improvement over New York. The primary difference - and what everyone talks about when talking about Texas - is her ridiculous (for Tier V) anti-aircraft suite.
Texas boasts more than three times the anti-aircraft firepower of New York; indeed, she has more AA power than any other battleship of any nation until North Carolina at Tier VIII. Most of that punch is packed into her 40mm Bofors guns, which have a maximum range of only 3.5km. While it makes picking up the Advanced Firing Training captain's skill an easy choice, it does leave players with a hard decision between AA Modification 2 and Artillery Plotting Room Modification 1 for Upgrade Slot 2.
Largely impervious to aircraft attacks, Texas can then focus her attention where it belongs: on enemy surface vessels. Like New York, her 14-inch guns are more than a match for the foes she will encounter at Tier V and VI, though she will struggle a bit more when up-tiered into Tier VII games. Similarly, her armor scheme holds up well until she starts seeing the incoming rounds from the likes of Colorado, Gneisenau, and Nagato. Destroyers that work in close will have to be dealt with via her primary weapons, as virtually all of her secondary batteries have been sacrificed in favor of anti-aircraft guns; she'll get very little help from the half-dozen anti-surface secondaries she has left.
Players experienced with the American battleship line will have little trouble adapting to Texas' playstyle; she is as subtle as a brick to the face, and she doesn't get where she's going in a hurry. Still, for a mid-tier premium, Texas is a great ship for making credits and re-training captains: fun to drive, easy to learn, and uncomplicated to play.
LittleWhiteMouse's Premium Ship Review: Texas from the NA forums
Pros:
- Best-in-tier AA defense compared with the New York, but with the same stock short range; in fact, Texas' AA firepower is higher than any other ship in the game up until Tier VIII. Enemy planes that come near Texas are highly unlikely to make it back to their flattop.
- The 3rd turret amidships has much better firing angles than New York, enabling full salvoes without exposing the entire broadside of the ship.
- Slightly better torpedo protection then New York - 33% vs 30%
Cons:
- Slow speed of 20,5 knots means she will frequently find herself left behind by her teammates.
- Worse rudder shift then New York - 14 s vs 12,5 s makes it even harder to dodge incoming torpedoes.
- Virtually non-existent secondary armament as New York has in top configuration; if in close combat with more than one enemy destroyer, she is in serious trouble.
- Her biggest strengths - her AA armament - is vulnerable to being knocked out by incoming high explosive rounds; the longer she is under sustained HE fire, the less AA firepower she will have.
Research
As a premium ship, Texas doesn't have any upgrades to research.
Most aircraft carrier drivers know better than to mess with Texas, but it is possible to put the ship into a position that they will have no other choice. Accordingly, it is recommended to invest skill points into maximizing both her survivability and her anti-air defenses. That translates into Basics of Survivability and/or Basic Firing Training at Tier 1, Expert Marksman at Tier 2, and either High Alert or Superintendent at Tier 3. Advanced Firing Training is recommended. Manual Fire for AA Guns is useless becouse Texas' AA guns will gain no benefit from this skill. Preventative Maintenance at Tier 5 will help keep her AA guns from getting knocked out by all of the high explosive shells she will absorb; Auxiliary Armaments Modification 1 can be equipped in Upgrade Slot 1 to help with this as well.
