[LHI] USS Cleveland

13.0k TemporaryReplacement  11 days ago
Auto Credit Based on Blyatnov's USS Cleveland

Original build here

  • The Defensive warships series hopes to make killing AI warship targets with aircraft 10x harder. (and fun) All ships have a semi-realistic AA complement, with guns that all have semi-realistic ranges, muzzle velocities, firing arcs, and etc.
  • (wiki)
    USS Cleveland (CL-55) was the lead ship of the Cleveland-class light cruiser of the United States Navy, which were built during World War II. The class was designed as a development of the earlier Brooklyn-class cruisers, the size of which had been limited by the First London Naval Treaty. The start of the war led to the dissolution of the treaty system, but the dramatic need for new vessels precluded a new design, so the Clevelands used the same hull as their predecessors, but were significantly heavier.

Notes

  • We’re now starting to get into stupid amounts of AA territory, so prepare for the lag >:)
    (Or we’re continuing, this was all made before Warspite lol)
  • The 5inchers on this are pretty deadly as well, be careful of them when approaching from a longer distance.
  • uhhhhhh

Enjoy getting obliterated!
