Incheon: Tier X Pan-Asian (Republic of Korea) Heavy Cruiser 1950

Incheon was envisioned as a heavy cruiser equipped with eight automated 203 mm main battery guns. This alternative design, featuring potent rapid-fire artillery, originated in the 1940s in the USA but was never constructed. If Incheon had been realized, it might have served with the Republic of Korea Navy during its significant growth period from the 1950s to the 1980s.

Key Features:

• 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:

• 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. 🎮🚢💥
