Massachusetts

Main Battery Focused Massa

Created by
Father Mundy
CategoryUncategorized
DescriptionThe Massachusetts has the best secondary suite of all the USN battleships, but this build doesn't rely on them. Instead we focus on the improving the main battery, while allow secondaries to pick of DDs that venture too close. Playstyle: get cozy with an island and lob shells over top. Then use your tight turning circle to get out when the dds descend on your position.
