Puerto Rico

• Tier 10 Puerto Rico is an American Large Cruiser that smashes broadside ship with her heavy AP salvo while her sturdy hull resists counter attacks. 10km radar punishes DDs and smoke cruisers, rounding out her versatile kit. Though her BB dispersion hurts her damage output at times.
  • Puerto Rico B has identical performance to her less cool counterpart
  • Puerto Rico represents the CA2-D design, one of several American super cruiser designs that would lead to the Alaska-class cruisers
• Puerto Rico, Alaska, and Congress all use the US large cruiser build
  • If you are comfortable without PT, use Consumables Enhancements
  • Halsey or the Doe brothers are great for their improved Gun Feeder skills. If you don’t run a captain with improved GF, consumable specialist is a fine alternative
  • Standard US CA build is fine if sharing captains with other tech tree US CAs
  • If you don’t have radar mod, use hydro mod or DCSM1
    • Hydro mod is fine if you find the 35s radar duration sufficient
• Puerto Rico is a versatile large cruiser who can perform well in a variety of situations, whether it is playing up close to radar caps or kiting away and holding back large pushes. Ideally she plays at mid range (9-13km) to take full advantage of her improved AP while minimizing her poor gun dispersion. If you need to kite, position on the flank so enemies can’t easily turn away. If you push, use radar to zone out enemy DDs while you dash towards island cover.
  • Puerto Rico AP has improved penetration angles, often punishing enemies who don’t respect their angling
  • Puerto Rico hull is hard to citadel, lowering the risk of a dev strike if enemies catch your broadside
