After that, proceed to escort the ships in that particular flank. If you spawn in the middle, identify the inferior flank when it comes to AA. AA Guns modification 1 is not required but recommendedĪt the start of the round, unless you spawn in the middle of the formation, follow the ships on your flank and stay within the formation to provide AA cover. Required upgrades: AA Guns modification 2. Required skills: Basic Firing Training, Advanced Firing Training, Manual AA I will cover different tactics for 3 different builds (AA, survial/tank/stealth). When stealth camos, module and captain skill are equipped her detection range drop down to about 11.8 km, this is very useful as at such range, you can delete any cruisers as they won't be aware of your presence most of the time. Whilst slower than her counterparts, this doesn't affect her play style.Įxcellent stealth capability. When fully upgraded the North Carolina can travel at 27.5 knots. Her torpedo defence is garbage (19%) so the course of action is to avoid the torpedoes in the first place. However, even is she features all of her armour, she is still very squishy when showing her broadside to any ship. This is a result of her design and War Gaming inability to add STS platings throughout parts of the ships. When broadside, she will get citadeled really easily due to her thin belt armour. When bow on, the North Carolina can bounce almost every single AP round fired at her, an exception is the Yamato shells. Under 9km, almost all shells will hit the target if aimed correctly Starting from 13km guns are fairly accurate. Shell trajectory is unusual and can take a long time before player can aim well.Īdditional notes: Guns accuracy becomes tolerable under 15km.High shell arc increases the chance to citadel German battleships.Highest Alpha damage out of any tier 8 battleship guns.Tier 9 and 10 CVs will be able to kill you, but your AA battery will cause serious damage to their squadrons. When all AA flags, skills and modules are equipped tier 8 CVs and below shouldn't be able to touch you provided the fact that you still have some AA battery. The North Carolina excels at providing AA escort both in real life and in the game. In this thread I will cover the in-game tactics and general ship characteristics. I will be willing to answer questions about my captain skills and upgrade if anyone is interested. As of the moment I see a lot of players struggling in this ship and I reckon it is about time for me to write a guide and help out the less skilled players.
