Delaware - American Tier IX Hybrid Battleship 1949
The project of a large hybrid battleship-carrier that is based on the Iowa-class hull, armed with anti-aircraft armament that is comparable in power. The warship рas a similar armour protection system and speed characteristics.
IX Delaware - Changes November 30.
- Changed the method and parameters of the bomber squadron’s attack: Bombs are now dropped during level flight, as with Louisiana. The dispersion ellipse has also been changed to become more similar to Louisiana’s.
- The change will make the use of these ships’ bombers easier and more efficient.

US Hybrids US Hybrids Key Features
The new battleships stand out with good manoeuvrability and speed, which makes it possible to change flanks if the need arises. The most vulnerable part of these ships is their large, lightly armoured aircraft hangars which form part of the superstructure. Thanks to their good firing range and fully controllable aircraft squadrons, these newcomers can provide effective support to their team. The ships’ consumables are composed of Damage Control Party and Repair Party with standard characteristics, as well as a Fighter.
As far as Anti-Submarine tools, these ships will come equipped with a standard Depth Charge Airstrike. If testing of this armament on the American branch of researchable hybrid battleships is successful, WG will consider adding this armament to the hybrid ships already present in the game.
