Louis had slightly different twin 5″ turrets - rounded, less boxy - when compared to the rest of the US Navy ships.īrooklyn and Boise lack twin 5″/38 turrets, as shared by the rest of the Brooklyn-class except Helena and St. None of the other Brooklyns share this attribute.
Helena has twin 5″/38 turrets in-game while Boise does not.Ī standout example is that out of the nine ships in the Brooklyn-class, the Helena, chosen to be the tech tree stand in, has unique sets of twin 5-inch mounts, shared only by the St. Despite being the same class, Helena and Boise do not suffer from the “hybrid” mashup and have their own models based on their respective ship. Brooklyn-class light cruiser USS Boise (CL-47) was also added. Back in 2018, Wargaming released a line of US Navy light cruisers with USS Helena (CL-50) – a Brooklyn-class light cruiser – occupying the Tier 7 slot. Being the first and only Tier 9 USN tech tree Battleship, the “hybrid” model thought process Wargaming had has been proven to be outdated since the game’s beta in 2014-2015.Īdditions to the US Navy tech tree will shed some light on the subject. However, Iowa has one of the oldest models in the game which hasn’t been updated (except for the quad Bofors on Turret 3) since the game released. With the errors involving Missouri cleared up, it still perplexes me that the Iowa’s model is still missing the anti-aircraft turrets on Turret 2, whether it’d be Iowa’s unique set of three 20mm Oerlikons or the more common single set of a single 40mm quad Bofors shared by the other three of the Iowa-classes.Īs stated in my previous entry, I understand that Wargaming made a “hybrid” model of the Iowa which combines attributes from all four existing ships. It would have been a neat detail for the Missouri in-game to have the aircraft crane turned around and jutting over the stern to make room for helicopters as shown in the photos, although it would look less neat and tidy.
