Baltimore — U.S.A. Tech Tree Tier VIII Cruiser.

With the beginning of World War II, restrictions on building heavy cruisers were lifted. A new ship was based on USS Wichita, but it was decided to go for a more substantial change in the design, strengthening the anti-aircraft armament. USS Baltimore took part in fire support and covering missions in support of such operations as the Kwajalein invasion, the raid on Truk, the Eniwetok seizure, and the Mariana and Palau Islands attacks. She fought in the Battle of the Philippine Sea and participated in the invasion of Okinawa and Iwo Jima.

Pros

  • Excellent main battery firepower: AP with improved angles before autobounce and heavier shells with increased penetration, as well as a quick reload
  • Good consumable suite: The first tech tree US Heavy Cruiser to receive a radar alongside the heal and hydro or defensive AA fire
  • Excellent concealment: Capable of out-spotting many of her tier mates, and even radaring enemies from stealth

Cons

  • Relatively low speed: Her handling is good, but she cannot reposition as well as her same-tier counterparts
  • Lower main battery shell velocity: The heavier shells have higher arcs, and her range is limited
  • Lack of access to torpedoes: The firepower of these ships begin to compensate for it, though
