Fort Worth

Section 31 of 57

Fort Worth

  • Tier 9 Fort Worth is an American Heavy Cruiser that hits hard with her accurate 254mm guns while enemies can't hide from her 10km radar. Timed MBRB doubles her firepower during critical moments to swing the tide of battle. While she uses an Alaska hull with 30s fire duration, 1 less heal hurts her late game survivability.
  • Fort Worth uses a similar build to other US CAs
    • If you are comfortable without PT, use Consumables Enhancements
    • If you don't have hydro mod, use DSM1 instead.
      • Radar mod is viable for more teamplay, but MBRB reduces the need to extend radar duration for solo use. Worth considering if you prefer more team oriented playstyle
    • Slot 4 rudder shift is a fine alternative for easier angling in between salvoes
  • Fort Worth plays similarly to Alaska, trading overall firepower for more accurate guns and the ability to boost her damage output at critical moments. While she can play like a kiting cruiser, she excels at close range fights where her bulky hull can tank hits and 10km radar can bully DDs. Efficient MBRB usage to boost her firepower at the right time is critical to her success.
    • 40s radar + MBRB is deadly vs. DDs
    • If you've played Alaska before, be aware FW's guns have lower damage and penetration.
