The Brooklyn preliminary is similar to Cleveland as is, but worse in aspects of AA/Secondaries, HP and probably armour. The Northampton (personally I'd love to see a USS Augusta team up with an HMS Prince of Wales =p), Juneau, Wichita and Oregon City classes. Whether any of those could be made unique enough to warrant their own premium versions is another matter entirely. There's not much else that could bridge the gap between the Brooklyn at tier VI and the Cleveland at tier VIII (which is where most people seem to think she fits best). That still leaves a number of interwar/wartime US cruiser designs as possible premiums. It is difficult to see how Wargaming can avoid putting the 1938 St. Or something like this if split after tier VI: =)Īt a rough guesstimate, the rumored upcoming cruiser line split would look something like this if split after tier V: Wargaming probably has - and should have - other priorities. It was merely to show that squeezing an Atlanta/San Diego into the main tree really doesn't make sense.Īnd as superdeluxe has already pointed out - nothing of this is likely to happen any time soon. In any case, my point wasn't to argue how a completed US cruiser branch should look. Brooklyn has one turret extra, but still - I'm just not a fan of using paper ships when there are real ones available. Cleveland sits quite comfortably at tier VI (in every sense but AA, where she really is OP) at the moment. The extra guns gives it an edge over the Cleve, but it's not an impossible fit. I agree that the Brooklyn will have to be looked at carefully before going into tier VI, and might be a better fit at VII though. She might have to take a slight nerf from where she is now, but only a slight one, in order to fit in nicely. Pensacola really wouldn't be "disgustingly OP" for tier VI. Cleveland can fill the T7 despite being "newer" in the same way Fiji does for the RN line. There's your T6 and split setup sorted.Īs for the rest of the CL line, Brooklyn makes more sense as a T8 where she would go up against her actual design contemporaries (Mogami and Edinburgh). In fact two of them, one Pensacola preliminary with 6x 8" guns for the CA line and that Brooklyn preliminary with 9x 6" guns for the CL line. Any split would need one of the preliminary designs as a T6 ship. Brooklyn and even Pensacola would be disgustingly OP at T6.
