This forces players to make a tough choice when selecting upgrades - faster reload to deal damage as quickly as possible, or longer range for more flexibility in island and target selection. But she can quickly find herself without any targets in range if she needs to position further from the cap or the enemy starts retreating. It may not be an issue when supporting a cap if she can find an island close enough to use as cover. However, while her reload and damage potential are among the best in tier, Tulsa's range is by far the shortest. And her AP is extremely potent against any target that turns broadside to her, capable of citadeling most cruisers and inflicting high damage against battleship superstructure and upper belts. Her HE damage and fire chance are low for Tier IX, but her fast reload means she can still cripple a destroyer caught in the open and reliably set fires on angled targets.
As with Des Moines, proper shell selection is critical to getting the most out of her guns. As a result, her damage potential is higher than almost any other cruiser at her tier. Although she’s tied for the lowest barrel count of all Tier IX cruisers, her reload is among the best. She uses the same HE and AP shells as found on her tech tree cousins, with improved penetration angles on her AP shells. Tulsa mounts six (6) 203mm guns in three (3) twin turrets, with similar characteristics to those found on Des Moines.
Representing a real-life proposal to refit existing cruisers with the auto-loading guns developed for Des Moines, Tulsa brings the fast-firing guns of her successor to a platform reminiscent of VIII Baltimore. Premium Tier IX American heavy cruiser Tulsa shares many common traits with her extended cousin X Des Moines, as well as other high tier American heavy cruisers.
