34 HC: This is the standard HE shell, with a muzzle velocity of 812 m/s (2,665 f/s) and a TNT equivalent explosive mass of 5.88 kg. 16 cannons have access to four different types of ammunition: The turrets do have a slow traverse rate of 4.3 °/second which can cause issues at closer ranges as well as switching between targets. All of the turrets have a horizontal guidance limit of ☑50° and a vertical guidance limit of -5°/+40° which does allow for limited anti-aircraft fire, but only at longer ranges which avoids more extreme elevation. With a rate of fire of 10 rounds per minute this makes Brooklyn have some of the best offensive ability among all other ships in the game. With 15 6-inch guns with an exceptional fire rate of 6 seconds with a good crew, Brooklyn is lethal to other cruisers, and of course destroyers, being able to easily dispatch any lightly armoured ship, and more heavily armoured ships once the range closes.īrooklyn has a devastating primary armament of fifteen 6'/47 Mk.16 cannons, arranged in triple turrets with three in front and two in back. This does however leave the ship less vulnerable to splash from high explosive shells, as far fewer crew are in exposed or unarmoured positions when compared to her sister ship, USS Helena, which is in a later configuration.

With only 8 heavy machine guns, this will do almost nothing to protect the ship against enemy air. Introduced in Update 1.87 'Locked On', USS Brooklyn is in her 1941 refit, and as this was completed, her anti-aircraft battery is quite small.

Postwar, she was put into reserve in 1947, before being transferred to the Chilean Navy in 1951, being renamed to 'O'Higgins' and serving for another 40 years. Laid down in 1933, she would enter service in 1937 and serve throughout World War Two, notably taking part in the Battle of Casablanca and providing fire support for the Invasion of Sicily and the Anzio-Nettuna landings before providing naval gunfire for the Allied troops landing in southern France.

Brooklyn-class, USS Brooklyn (CL-40), 1941 is the lead ship of the Brooklyn class of light cruisers.
