Libertad — Pan-America Tech Tree Tier X Battleship.

A mighty battleship with a design that could have incorporated a number of design solutions specific to the South American dreadnought race. These include, among other things, an obsolete main battery layout with six twin-gun turrets. The ship's air defenses rely on artillery systems, which the battleship could have received during modernization in the United States in the 1940s.

Pros

• Very 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.

Cons

• Low Rate of Fire for the main guns.
• Unconventional turret layout requires exposing more broadside than normal to fire all guns
• Armor profile has a lot of flat surface areas that may be vulnerable to penetration damage

• Update 13.7
• HE shell maximum damage increased from 5,750 to 6,100.
  • Main battery reload time increased from 30 to 33 s.
  • Combat Instructions parameters changed — Action time reduced from 45 to 30 s. — Progress per main battery shell hit increased from 4% to 6.5%. — Secondary battery firing range increased from 10% to 20%. — Added bonus to secondary battery reload: -20%.
  • Several changes were made to the armoring of the ship, to increase her survivability and reduce the chance of the ship being citadelled via the bow and stern — Athwartship transverse bulkhead upper front casemate armor plate thickness increased from 51 to 152 mm. — Athwartship transverse bulkhead lower casemate armor plate thickness increased from 51 to 305 mm. — Athwartship transverse bulkhead citadel armor plate thickness increased from 102 to 305 mm.
