Your main goal as a battleship (dreadnaught) in Realistic battles that also include "Naval EC" is to fight and control the battlefield with your high-caliber shells, mainly targeting HEAVY CRUSIERS and BATTLESHIPS, due to lacking any HE shells.. It is not advisable to shoot at light cruisers due to your high pen AP shells (487mm at 1km), but this does not mean you cannot shoot at them, your effectiveness will go down compare to shooting at Heavy Cruisers and Battleships, but this should not warrant much problems, you will still do MAJOR damage to the interior of the ship with your shells... Stay near allies that can be helpful with taking down enemies larger than Heavy Cruisers... Do not be the main force to push onto the battlefield, your ships is slower compare to the other ships that you will be fighting, and if a fight goes sour you can easily die due to focus firing, while trying to run away...

Description

GarageImage USS North Dakota.jpg


The Delaware-class, USS North Dakota (BB-29), 1919 is a rank V American battleship with a battle rating of 6.3 (AB/RB/SB). It was introduced in Update "New Power".

General info

Survivability and armour

Talk about the vehicle's armour. Note the most well-defended and most vulnerable zones, e.g. the ammo magazine. Evaluate the composition of components and assemblies responsible for movement and manoeuvrability. Evaluate the survivability of the primary and secondary armaments separately. Don't forget to mention the size of the crew, which plays an important role in fleet mechanics. Save tips on preserving survivability for the "Usage in battles" section. If necessary, use a graphical template to show the most well-protected or most vulnerable points in the armour.

Mobility

Spaded Top Speed Forward 40 km/h and in Reverse 18 km/h. In Realistic.

Pros and cons

Pros:

  • First iteration battleships War Thunder Introduced in Update "New Power".
  • Large caliber shells
  • Can take a quite of bit of damage
  • First Battleship for America

Cons:

  • Slow
  • Lack of "Real" AA support
  • Long Reloads
  • Lack of HE for the Main Guns
  • Insanely High "ACE Crew"

History

Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the ship in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the ship and adding a block "/History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Ship-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref></ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />. This section may also include the ship's dev blog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under === In-game description ===, also if applicable).

Media

Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
