Since there has been some interest in playable heavy cruisers, I have decided to make some. The first is the New Orleans class. These were some tough ships as two of them survived the forward magazine detonating after being hit by the Long Lance.
I havenīt made the wartime refit yet, perhaps in the future. She comes with the 8"/55 caliber Mark 15 guns. These were mounted on the last pair of the New Orleans as well as the Wichita, Baltimore and Oregon City class. She also comes with the SG surface search radar and SK air search radar. Unlike my previous ships these wonīt have independently operated barrels. All three act as one unit, like stock ships.
I am currently testing the ship and will post any results in the foresseable future. In the meantime, here`s some pictures so you know what to expect.
