Tech Tree Tier&nbsp;VI [[Ship:Cruiser|Cruiser]].</p><p>In order to meet the restrictions on the total displacement of light cruisers imposed by the London Naval Treaty, these ships were planned to be built according to a reduced and lighter design. One of the proposed options was a ship with a displacement of 8,000 tons, equipped with four twin-gun turrets.</p><p> </p></div>
A version of a small light cruiser design, the development of which preceded the creation of ''[[Helena]]''-class cruisers. She had the features characteristic of most subsequent ships of this U.S. Navy type: moderate speed, the absence of torpedo armament, and the availability of dual-purpose guns complementing the 152 mm main battery mounted in the turrets.<br>
<!-- <br>{{Model3DViewer|6ae00417e0cb4c60923cb8896c4bd609}}-->


|Performance={{AA Sidebar Warning Insert}}
===Pros===
As the first modern light cruiser design in the American tech tree, ''Dallas'' differs significantly from her predecessor, ''[[Omaha]]''. While she retains the light armor, ''Dallas'' mounts a more efficient turret layout, and numerous consumables.
* High damage per minute
* Access to Defensive AA Fire and Hydroacoustic Search consumables in separate slots
* Small citadel size


For her main armament, ''Dallas'' boasts an impressive set of ten 152mm guns in four turrets. These guns have a quick rate of fire, decent shell damage, and a high fire chance. When combined with the Inertia Fuse for HE Shells commander skill, ''Dallas'' has no trouble effectively damaging larger, more armored targets. The ship's armor piercing shells are also very effective against broadside targets, or other lightly armored ships. Like other light cruisers, ''Dallas''' shells have a longer travel time than some captains may be accustomed to. This is due to the higher shell arcs. While this may require captains to adjust their aim to account for the shell travel time, this allows allows ''Dallas'' to fire at enemy targets from behind island cover.
===Cons===
* Low main battery range
* Poor main battery ballistics


Similar to other light cruisers, ''Dallas'' is lightly armored with an exposed citadel. The ship will not last long under fire from enemy battleships or heavy cruisers. Instead of relying solely on armor for protection, captains should be mindful of their map position and concealment. When necessary, ''Dallas'' can make use of her wide firing angles to minimize her profile without losing firepower.


Like later ships in the American light cruiser line, ''Dallas'' is fitted with a wide selection of consumables. She can mount {{Defensive AA Fire}}, {{Catapult Fighter}} and {{Hydroacoustic Search}} simultaneously. When combined with her powerful main battery, the ship's consumable set allows captains to make quick work of enemy aircraft, destroyers, and other smaller targets. With proper map positioning, ''Dallas'' can easily perform well as a versatile support cruiser.

The recommended upgrades for ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' are as follows:
* '''Slot 1''': {{Main Armaments Modification 1}} 
* '''Slot 2''': {{Damage Control System Modification 1}}
* '''Slot 3''': {{Aiming Systems Modification 1}}
* '''Slot 4''': {{Steering Gears Modification 1}}
Captains looking to improve upon the ship's anti-aircraft abilities may find {{AA Guns Modification 1}} more useful in place of Aiming Systems Modification 1.

<div style="border: 2px solid rgba(212,175,55,0.8); border-radius: 3px; margin-bottom: 1em; overflow: hidden;">
Key skills for ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' commanders include Priority Target, Demolition Expert, and Inertia Fuse for HE Shells. Concealment Expert is also recommended to reduce the ship's detection range. Basic Firing Training and Manual Fire Control for AA Armament can be taken to improve the ship's anti-aircraft abilities.

===Historical Inaccuracies===
<!-- Consumables have to be tagged individually on a slot by slot basis -->
* Designed in 1934, ''Dallas'' is depicted with fantasy WW2 refits.
{{Ship Consumables Section|consumables=
* Loosely based on scheme 4C. 4C was designed with four twin main battery turrets and six 5" (127mm)/25 caliber anti-aircraft guns. In World of Warships, she has a mixed triple-twin main battery layout and 5"/38 caliber gun turrets.
* '''Slot 1:''' {{Damage Control Party}} (5.0s action, 60.0s cooldown)
* It is unlikely that the US Navy would have given this design the name ''Dallas'' as it conflicts with a ''[[Clemson]]''-class destroyer (DD-199) which also carried the same name and was in active service from 1920 to July 1945. It was renamed ''Alexander Dallas'' in March 1945 as the name ''Dallas'' was being reserved for a planned ''[[Des Moines]]''-class cruiser.
* '''Slot 2:''' {{Defensive AA Fire}} (4 charges, 40.0s action, 80.0s cooldown)
* ''Dallas''’s permanent camouflage is an adapted version of Measure 32/1D. Based on the radar fit, gun mountings, and deck equipment, this design is possibly dated to a time range of late 1942 or mid 1943. It is unlikely that this ship, were it real, would be painted in dazzle camouflage while remaining in this configuration. A more correct camouflage for this ship would be overall Navy Blue Measure 21.
* '''Slot 3:''' {{Patrol Fighter}} (3 charges, 60.0s action, 90.0s cooldown)
* The bridge structure seems to be built around a large armored conning tower, certainly a departure for a ship of this size. The forward main battery Mark 34 director sits right on top of the conning tower, which is most likely just an error on the part of the Wargaming designers as this director required one level of deck penetration. The aft Mark 34 has the same issue.
* '''Slot 4:''' {{Hydroacoustic Search}} (3 charges, 100.0s action, 120.0s cooldown)
* Mark 33 directors for 5" gunfire control sit on pedestals above the bridge. Their Mark 4 radars basically require the Mark 34 directors below them to be fitted with the oblong Mark 3 Mod. 2 radar. The square Mod. 1 radar would be a better choice here but the strange director positioning prohibits it. Early design practice dictated the main battery directors should be placed higher than the secondary battery/DP directors - this was found to be a mistake, as having the AA directors above the main battery directors gave better sky arcs. This problem persisted all the way to the ''[[Cleveland]]'' class, where it was resolved with the introduction of the "square bridge" ''Cleveland''s which mounted their Mark 37 DP directors above their Mark 34s. As ''Dallas'' is clearly meant to portray some sort of pre-war design, the director positioning Wargaming has chosen is an error.
* '''Slot 5:''' {{Repair Party}} (2 charges, 28.0s action, 80.0s cooldown, 120 hp/s)
* The foremast has a small platform mounting an SA air search radar, and the mainmast (correctly) shows an SG surface search set. The SA air search radar was not fitted to combatant units larger than destroyers (and usually only to destroyer escorts); a cruiser of the ''Dallas''’ importance would at least receive SC or SC-2. The small foretop mast supports a truck light; this is also erroneous, as the SA and SC radar sets could mount a truck light behind the reflector to reduce the need for lighting masts above the radar set.
}}
* The amidships catapult is mounted on the centerline, and there is no aircraft hangar. No USN cruiser after the ''[[Pensacola]]'' class shipped aircraft without twin catapults and a hangar of some sort (the ''Pensacola'' class had a large handling area amidships). While it's not impossible for this ship to have been commissioned without a hangar, its overall configuration suggests that it was designed long after the ''Pensacola'' class had shown the issues inherent with lack of hangar space for aircraft. Cruiser scout planes were considered very valuable (they are the 'eyes' of the ship in the pre-radar days), so hangar space was a consideration on all cruisers after the ''Pensacola'' class. The in-game model also shows an aircraft handling trolley below the catapult on the main deck, which hints at the presence of multiple aircraft (two would be the minimum for a ship of this size) - this arrangement would be extremely cramped in the available deck space, which is also shared with the ship's boats.

VI
3,100,000

Dallas — U.S.A. Tech Tree Tier VI Cruiser.

In order to meet the restrictions on the total displacement of light cruisers imposed by the London Naval Treaty, these ships were planned to be built according to a reduced and lighter design. One of the proposed options was a ship with a displacement of 8,000 tons, equipped with four twin-gun turrets.

Pros

  • High damage per minute
  • Access to Defensive AA Fire and Hydroacoustic Search consumables in separate slots
  • Small citadel size

Cons

  • Low main battery range
  • Poor main battery ballistics
