Player Opinion
Performance
Tier V's Omaha lands squarely in the middle of the USN cruiser line, and is a well-rounded ship with solid torpedoes, good guns, and average AA for her tier. She has a main battery range of 14.8 km when fully upgraded, mounts more guns than Phoenix, and they're placed better to boot; Omaha is capable of an eight gun broadside — seven with Hull (C) — as well as being able to bring six guns to bear directly forward. The arrangement of the main battery is excellent for chasing targets while presenting a smaller silhouette.
Omaha is the last torpedo-armed cruiser in the American line, and her fish leave much to be desired. While there are two launchers on each side that start off as twin-tube, they become triple-tube with Hull (B), and one launcher on each side is lost with Hull (C). The torpedoes on all hulls have a paltry 5.5 km range, and should be used only when the guns can't do enough damage per minute or Omaha finds herself very close to another ship. The good news is that Omaha’s torpedoes hit pretty hard; if a torpedo salvo hits, it will do massive amounts of damage. They become very useful when ambushing in close quarters.
Befitting her status as a light cruiser, the armor fitted on Omaha is fairly weak. Omaha relies mainly on speed to avoid damage from other ships, and dodging shells and torpedoes is key to surviving. Her quick rudder shift provides captains the ability to make her a difficult target to hit, and they must maximize use of her rudder to avoid being blown away by enemy battleships.
As a teammate, Omaha is the perfect escort for battleships. She provides decent AA cover, extra firepower and Hydroacoustic Search to see where torpedoes are coming from far in advance.Pros:
- High damage per minute, even without firing with a broadside.
- Speed that matches destroyers of that tier and above.
- Good AA for its tier.
- Excellent support ship for battleships.
- Can aim six guns forward; very good when pursuing enemy targets.
Cons:
- As a light cruiser, she has only slightly more armor than a destroyer and can sustain citadel hits even from American and Russian destroyer armor-piercing shells.
- Torpedoes are rather slow at 56 knots, having a range of only 5.5 km and half of the torpedo tubes are lost with the (C) hull.
- Inferior to sister-ship Murmansk in almost every respect.

Upgrades
Omaha has one more upgrade slot than Phoenix, gaining access to Upgrade Slot 2 at Tier V. Captains who are interested in embracing a cruiser's role as an anti-aircraft platform should equip AA Guns Modification 2 in this slot; everyone else should install Aiming Systems Modification 1. Upgrade Slot 1 is best filled with either Magazine Modification 1 or Main Armaments Modification 1. Damage Control System Modification 1 or Propulsion Modification 1 are the recommended choices for Upgrade Slot 4.

Consumables
Omaha can equip both Hydroacoustic Search and a Catapult Fighter in addition to the standard Damage Control Party. Damage Control Party II is recommended for Omaha given her status as a light cruiser; modules will inevitably become disabled should she come under sustained enemy fire.
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.
