Jacksonville Jacksonville captain build for World of Warships

  • Supership Jacksonville is a suped up Worcester with absolutely ridiculous firepower, burning down any unfortunate victim in short order. Poor mobility and restrictive turret angles does make her harder to play than other superships.
  • Jacksonville uses a customized IFHE build due to her combat instructions
    • IFHE brings her base HE pen to 37mm, with CI active it goes up to 52mm.
    • TGG can be traded for SE if you need more survivability
    • Hydro mod is preferred for better protection vs. torps
      • Radar mod is viable, though any target will either be dead or out of range long before radar ends
      • If you don’t have either mod, use ERP. Though if you can afford a supership, you can certainly afford a special mod
    • Halsey synergizes well when his talents activate. Highly recommend if you want to break your damage record
  • Jacksonville uses the same playstyle as other US CLs, but with an ace up her sleeve: Combat instructions. When active, her HE shells can chew through even heavily armored battleships. Use islands or smoke to stay hidden as you farm down anything that gets close to you.
    • Combat instructions increase HE pen by 40% for 40s
      • Requires 77 main battery hits to charge
      • Use when farming BBs/cruisers with 40-50mm armor
