New Mexico — American Tier VI battleship.
El barco pertenecía a la generación de acorazados convencionales de la U.S. Navy. Los cañones de la batería principal se concentraron en las partes delantera y trasera del barco y se colocaron en torretas de súper fuego, lo que pronto sería lo estándar. El acorazado estaba blindado según el concepto de «todo o nada», con la ciudadela localizada en el centro del casco, estando muy bien protegida.

Player Opinion
Performance
New Mexico continues with the tradition of American battleships up to this point. She's slow but armored like, well, a battleship. Her main advantage over her Tier VI battleship competitors (Warspite, Bayern, and Fuso) is the layout of her main gun; she has four triple-barrel super-firing turrets, two fore and two aft. This means that New Mexico can face the enemy more head on than other battleships, thus giving the ship even better armor due to angling. Use this to close in on those opponents who out-range you while providing a small silhouette.
Pros:
- Large number of main guns: she has the same number of 14-inch (356mm) guns as her Japanese tier equivalent, Fuso.
- High shell velocity: amazing shell velocity even with range upgrades makes aiming easier.
- Very thick belt armor.
- All-or nothing armor: she has an all-or-nothing armor scheme that is one of the most resilient in the game, providing a large immune zone when angled.
- Large broadside firing arc: her firing arc allows it to minimize the broadside she shows while shooting all guns, and angle quickly after shooting
- Powerful anti-aircraft armament; AA suite is enough to shoot down 2-3 planes before a strike occurs.
- Decent torpedo defenses: effective torpedo defenses allows her to take solitary midships torpedo hits with only small permanent loss in hitpoints (after partial regeneration).
- Shells have amazing penetration qualities.
Cons:
- Poor gun characteristics: much shorter range, slower reload and worse dispersion compared to Fuso, and can find herself helpless against longer ranged opponents with bigger guns.
- Very low mobility: like the preceding American battleship New York, she is incredibly slow with only a 21kts top speed upgraded, and poor rudder shift in stock configuration.
- Poor stock anti-aircraft defenses: AA on stock hull is horrible and not too much better with Hull (B), and only gets good with Hull (C).
- All-or-nothing armor drawbacks: While her armor prevents citadel hits, it guarantees regular hits which can be problematic against other battleships of equal tier.
- More guns concentrated per turret: having only 4 turrets, she loses a quarter of her firepower if a turret is knocked out.
- Large and vulnerable superstructure: large superstructure makes it vulnerable to HE damage.
- AP penetration is fairly weak until getting to medium range (~9-10 km) or closer.
Research
Your first step in research should be the B hull. Not only does it give you additional combat capability points, WWII ammunition and a well-needed dose of AA batteries, it shortens your rudder shift time from 25.7 to 18.4 seconds (-28%) - this can be the difference between two or three impacts from a destroyer or airplane torpedo salvo. Once your survivability is in order, it's time to look at your playstyle for the next upgrades. If you find yourself lagging behind the team and not contributing to the battle due to your short stock range and low speed, upgrade the aiming system and engine first. Just be careful with enemy aircraft! If you can anticipate the turns of the battle well enough to be in range of enemies enough of the time, you can go straight for the C hull to beef up your Anti-Aircraft batteries to their final levels.

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 Mexico with Type 16 camouflage that lowers her detection radius, reduces the accuracy of incoming shells, and increases the amount of experience she earns.Gallery
