So, I mention at the beginning of the video that I haven’t posted any of my battles, as they have tended to be somewhat dull. Ironically, right after I recorded this one, I had a pretty dang good battle. I’ll edit and narrate it tonight and post it tomorrow.

In the real world, the USS Des Moines and her sister ship USS Newport News were the last all gun heavy cruisers in the US Navy.  Their auto-loading 8”/55 guns had a stupendous rate of fire, and provided long and valuable service.

In World of Warships, the guns fire fast, but are nerfed a bit in range. And very often, the high rate of fire means Des Moines is often singled out early on and ground down. They tend to be bullet magnets. But in this fight, the enemy fleet seems a bit uncoordinated, and Rusty is able to put the guns t good effect.
