USS New Jersey "Big J" - Tier X American Premium Battleship 1943

The second of four Iowa-class battleships completed by the United States. Commissioned in 1943, New Jersey joined the Pacific Fleet the following year, conducting shore bombardments and screening aircraft carriers. New Jersey remained in combat through the end of World War II and later returned to service for the Korean War, the Vietnam War, and further operations during the 1980s. After her final decommissioning, she was preserved as a museum ship in Camden, New Jersey."

Battle Tips

New Jersey is the last of the Iowa-class ships to enter the game, and she offers a unique playstyle and trade-offs. She keeps nine 406mm guns with standard accuracy, giving up raw firepower for her Tier. Still, in exchange, she gets access to a palette of support consumables, letting you make an indirect impact by buffing your allies when the right moment comes. The support consumables work within a radius around your ship, so you'll need to adopt a position where you can maximize their usage by having the most allies within range, especially on active flanks. For that, you can rely on her high speed.

New Jersey has specific Combat Instructions for new support consumables, that charge as you use those support consumables. You'll build up the progress bar very quickly when you support several allies at once, opening a short window to fire off powerful, accurate salvoes of your own. You can also charge Combat Instructions by using these consumables on yourself, but this will provide a lower charge percentage. As always with support ships, timing is everything. You might hold a consumable back to save an ally with a last-minute heal, or fuel a friendly battleship's push by boosting its secondary firepower. It opens a wide array of possibilities, but it all comes down to your decision-making.
