Los Andes — Pan-America Tech Tree Tier IX Battleship.

A fast battleship that could have been ordered by Argentina and built at British shipyards, she embodies various shipbuilding traditions of the first half of the 20th century. Her powerful 234 mm secondary guns, typical of the 1900s, complement the main battery—twelve 381 mm guns developed in the 1910s. The dual-purpose guns and anti-aircraft armament are all U.S.-made artillery systems from the 1940s.

Pros

• Incredibly well-protected citadel due to multiple layers of thick armor.
• Modified secondary munitions combat instructions available.
• Secondaries with improved penetration, range, and damage per minute.
• Able to fire all guns from a sharp angle.

Cons

• Low Rate of Fire for the main guns.
• Small caliber of main guns for the tier.
