Incheon - Tier X Pan-Asian Premium Cruiser 1950

This heavy cruiser armed with eight automatic 203 mm main caliber guns is an alternative version of a design for a cruiser with powerful rapid-firing artillery, developed in the 1940s in the United States. Had Incheon been cast in metal, such a ship could have joined the Republic of Korea Navy during its active expansion from the 1950s through the 1980s.This heavy cruiser armed with eight automatic 203 mm main caliber guns is an alternative version of a design for a cruiser with powerful rapid-firing artillery, developed in the 1940s in the United States.

Key Features of the Incheon

• Blending characteristics from both USN heavy cruisers and Pan-Asian cruisers.
• Main battery: Four twin 203mm autoloading turrets.
• Excellent damage output with high penetration HE shells and AP shells with improved ricochet angles.
• Concealment and short cooldown Pan-Asian smoke generator for aggressive play and cover creation.
• Access to deepwater torpedoes and a Torpedo Reload Booster (similar to Jinan).
• Weaknesses: Lack of Hydroacoustic Search and no Surveillance Radar.
• Poor ballistics, short range, and bad turret angles for open-water combat.

Gameplay Tips for Incheon

• Using Incheon's concealment and Smoke Generator, players can take advantage of her main battery and find good positions.
• Her main focus should be enemy battleships, but she can also deal with enemy cruisers and destroyers with the help of her teammates' spotting.
• However, she should avoid being isolated and watch out for enemy ships with Radar; if they detect her at a bad moment, Incheon could be sunk in no time.
