This limits them to damage select cruisers and destroyers or the superstructures of more protected ships. They can only deal direct damage to areas of 21mm of armour thickness or less. It's unlikely Massachusetts will ever be the darling of the competitive scene because of these flaws. Her guns, while still boasting good performance, are overall less reliable. Massachusetts has the worst sigma value of any of the aforementioned American battleships with a 1.7 value compared to the 2.0 of North Carolina and 1.9 of Alabama, Alabama ST and Colorado. The second issue compounds on this problem, however. This range deficit isn't terrible when the ship is top tier, but on some of the larger maps and against higher tiered opponents, this lack really begins to hurt, especially when compounded by her low top speed and surface detection radius. The alternative is to make use of her Spotter Aircraft consumable to temporarily boost her range when needed. This is a less than ideal solution given Massachusetts secondaries which compete for attention with Secondary Gun Battery Modification 2 in the same upgrade slot. It can largely be alleviated by taking the American upgrade, Artillery Plotting Room Modification 1, which resets her maximum range back up to Alabama levels. even if its just a stock hull i find its just silly for a tier 7 ship to not have an AA at all, when we are getting match against tier 8 and 9 cv that can easily take us out without even putting a resistance because it simply don't have an AA to deal against them or even lower tier CV.With a maximum reach of 18.3km stock, Massachusetts is one of the shortest ranged battleships at her tier, besting only Monarch and Roma. faster rudder shift 15s compare to 19.4sĬan't we just change her stock hull to 1942 fit instead of the old 1941 with a almost non-existing AA. stock hull has AA and i don't have to spend my time getting freely bomb even my tier 4 carrier. faster aiming speed of 47.4s compare to colorado 60s Longer guns range, i don't have to waste module slot to upgrade my gun range when i can use them for AA range, secondary gun range and accu. most of all at tier 7 its stock hull has no AA at all! you have to spend your time getting bomb freely by other cv till you manage to earn enough exp to upgrade your hull with a decent AA. I feel like this ship is not an upgrade of new mexico at all.
