Tulsa is likely to add something unique to T9, which is always a good thing for a premium ship.īearn.well, I love the Ark Royale, and this is a historical ship and a carrier.

I suspect her 3 by 2 main battery have the Des Moines' autoloaders as there was a plan to use the late Oregon City class hulls to test these loaders in this configuration: meaning an in game reload ~5.5 s stock, so she should have decent DPM. USS Tulsa was ordered during late WWII, but cancelled before she was laid down. I was hoping this is what the upcoming USS Rochester would be (which WG in testing just turned from a Baltimore clone into an Anchorage clone), so I'm glad to see this ship will soon enter testing. That alone makes her worth considering, especially if she comes with the usual US CA consumable suite.

This will be the first T9 premium non-super cruiser. I would still be interested if she had the option of changing out her smoke for radar like the tech tree CLs do. I'm hoping this means she has improved armor or at least a lower citadel than Goliath (they could swap the Goliath citadel for something more like the Drake's).but I'm guessing that is unlikely since she gets smoke.

Also no sign of 'Advanced Repair Party', so I'm assuming a normal cruiser heal. So far this combination has been underwhelming in game (e.g. My concern with Gibraltar is she is another ship with smoke but with neither torpedoes nor HE. It does seem odd that the More Historical Design for the T10 British Heavy cruiser has been made the premium, as the Churchill admiral designs called for a 3x4 design as its most likely iteration not the 4x3 that we got in Goliath also with that brit CL AP could be rather scary but I do not see why it seems to have pretty much a light cruiser consumable layout on a heavy cruiser design especially as this design does not seem very good for smoke farming or really using the smoke at all but I guess time will tell.
