Being a light cruiser, she is overmatched by all battleship caliber shells she shall see in her matchmaking spread, and all heavy cruiser HE will pen her hull (sans belt armor) and light cruisers with IFHE will pen her as well. Now, all this is well and good, but she is fragile, really fragile. With DFAA on, multiplying the 76mm and 152mm guns by threefold, a staggering 1,200 for the 152s with the AA Gunner for AA Commander skill, and 2,227 for the 76mm guns can be achieved, when targeting enemy squadrons, in addition to the strike panic. Now all of that is powerful, and makes any carrier player blanch at strike attempts, but that is without DFAA on. Plus she has a short range aura of 20mm guns pumping out 209 dps at 2.0km range. That's not even counting her meatier 76mm AA guns with a monstrous 629 dps base at 4.0 km range. Her main rifles are dual purpose and have a max 6.9 km reach and an average dps of 199 alone. Worcester has the potential to have the highest AA DPS of any ship in the game if specced properly. Hydro is another aspect of her vision control toolkit, allowing her to detect torpedoes while pushing caps with her radar, and spotting destroyers moseying a little too close to the edge of their smokescreens.
Worcester can get down to a 9.74 km detectability range enabling her to sneak up on most any cruiser but does not have the capacity to use her radar from stealth without being detected. Her next major trait is her control of vision. Destroyers beware, these guns will give anyone a run for their money if she sneaks up on them.
She can put down a withering barrage of shells similar to Minotaur but her access to HE shells with a 12% fire chance provides her with extremely good fire starting abilities. The real kicker is a 13 rounds per minute rate-of-fire. However, the arc allows the ship to get close to islands and lob shells over at unsuspecting targets with impunity.
These guns have a high arc to their shells, so aiming at long range can be a challenge. This, coupled with her traits, makes her a dangerous foe in the right hands.įor starters, her guns: she has twelve 152mm guns in six dual turrets that can fire every 4.6 seconds to 16.7 km.
Having access to several consumable choices, rapid fire guns, and a nigh unmatched AA suite, Worcester can do most tasks a team or captain needs her to do.Īt her core, Worcester is a utility ship, for starters, having access to not only Surveillance Radar and Defensive AA Fire together, but also Hydroacoustic Search without removing another consumable. The data presented in the AA Defense sidebar section may be incorrect.įor a graphic summary of ships Tiers VIII thru XI see LittleWhiteMouse's "Actual AA DPS".
