Maine - American Super Battleship 1958
In this hypothetical development of the Montana-class battleships, the number of 406 mm guns could be increased to sixteen by replacing the three-gun turrets with four-gun ones. While four-gun turrets were initially proposed for battleships of the North Carolina class, they were, however, equipped with 356 mm guns. If the goal were to enhance the firepower of the Montana-class battleships without utilizing a larger caliber, opting for four-gun turrets would be the most logical choice.

Key Features
- Maine is armed with sixteen (16) 406mm main battery guns.
- Compared to Montana, Maine's guns have a higher salvo weight but a longer reload time and lower accuracy.
- She also has decent armor and good AA defenses, but a vulnerable citadel.
- The ship has combat instructions which, once activated, increase the damage of her AA defenses and reduce the damage taken from fire and flooding. In order to activate it, the player needs to continuously score hits on an enemy ship.
- Maine's main set of consumables are similar to Montana, but she has no Fighter or Spotting Aircraft consumables.

ReplyDeleteAlmost 12.11. It looks like that they can't ballance it, as with combat instructions it appears to be OP, while without them - absulute trash xD
