Rio de Janeiro
- Dreadnaught with a massive 14 gun broadside, but slow reload and top speed. Kind of like US mid tier BBs
- Irl Rio de Janeiro was sold while under construction due to the end of Brazil’s rubber boom.
- Standard tank BB build
- BoS is taken as low tier BBs rarely get to 2 mill potential damage to justify IRPR
- Vigilence is another solid alternative due to the amount of Kamikaze (the ship) running around and torping everything
- Rio plays like a typical US super-dreadnought like Vermont. While you are slow and reloading takes 3-5 business days, 14 BB AP shells will strike fear even into the most experienced captains. Always keep an eye on the minimap, look for ideal broadside targets, then punish them with your powerful salvo. Make every shot count
