328 [FFG07] custer_14 [FFG07] Members 467 posts 16,725 battles Report post #7 Posted October 27, 2020 So what is the trade off for the 40 sec reload? Standard size guns that are not super accurate, same amount of guns as NY/ Texas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
5,177 [NONE] 0ldRichard Members 4,189 posts Report post #8 Posted October 27, 2020 Honestly, I think OK is aimed at the collector market. She'll do OK (horrible pun detected!!!) in Co-op but in PvP she will get her aft handed to her by GC, OR, and even the more maneuverable, faster-shooting Texas. At least it's free, if you complete the collection. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Standard size guns that are not super accurate, same amount of guns as NY/ Texas. I haven’t played her yet, but I’m curious about her firing angles. Depending on the specifics, having ten guns without an amidships turret may prove to be an advantage, allowing her to bring more guns to bear while showing less side. The only ten-gun ship with a similar layout at tier V is GC. Edited October 27, 2020 by Nevermore135 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
181 [-NT-] celticboy27 Members 209 posts 5,226 battles Report post #12 Posted October 27, 2020 @NoZoupForYou How effective did you find the secondaries? WG seems to be lauding their accuracy, and I’m tempted to invest in them so I have SOMETHING to shoot between the ridiculously high reloads, but I don’t recall you commenting too much on them.

313 [QQ7] ToxicSymphony Wiki Editor, Members, In AlfaTesters, Beta Testers 457 posts 10,898 battles Report post #13 Posted October 27, 2020 (edited) One correction on this video, Oklahoma had the secondary range changed to be 5.5km base as of the Dev blog on the 7th. Though wowsft doesn't seem to be updated to reflect this, by the looks of it they're definitely firing farther than the claimed 4.7km (which would be with the flag, as previously base was 4.5km). They start firing on the Omaha at around 5.8km here. Edited October 27, 2020 by ToxicSymphony Clarity Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Standard size guns that are not super accurate, same amount of guns as NY/ Texas. You get ten guns without that Q turret in the middle of the ship. I guess think Arkansas at Tier 5 with a gun taken out of the second and third turrets. (Is that worth the extra time on the reload? Only time will tell, but it wouldn't be out of order for any given player to decide that the answer is no.) And secondaries. From what I've seen, you get the best secondaries at Tier 5.

The 8.3 km range secondaries is why I am interested in this ship. It has a lot of them and that kind of range (if what I have read is correct) at tier 5 could just be loads of fun. It appears she has 10 (127 mm/51 Mk7) with a 6% fire chance and 7 second reload and another 8 ( 127 mm/25 Mk.13) with 9% fire chance and a 4.5 second reload. So she could be the Mass of tier 5, which could be a hell of a lot of fun. Edited October 28, 2020 by anonym_WrAb0m0ydCdC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Historically, Nevada-class (OK is the 2nd of the two ships of the class) that succeeded New York-class, were the first USN Battleships to use the "All-Or-Nothing" armor scheme for better protected vitals. NY & TX in WoWS are very easy to punish. The other, later Standards: Arizona, New Mexico, West Virginia '41, Lolorado stubbornly protect their Citadels. I expect Oklahoma to be sturdier than NY, but I don't have the ship. Still, the major cons: - 19.7kts max speed - 40 seconds reload... Good Lord. - 10k AP shell damage. That's Stock New York AP, which is supposed to be very weak in Penetration capability. WG has been on a quest to make these new USN Battleships awful. So many swings made by WG of late with USN Battleships, almost all of which have been terrible failures with major issues: California, Florida, Kansas, MinneSLOWta, and now Oklahoma. Major issues. Even Vermont has the sins of slow speed and 40 seconds reload, but at least she has 457mm x12 to boast about. The others, not so much.

The base reload on the /51 guns is too long to truly be effective, and the muzzle velocity on the /25 guns is the slowest in the game afaik, so don't expect many hits with them.

792 Yoshiblue Members 4,477 posts 4,779 battles Report post #22 Posted October 28, 2020 I don't understand. Oktya, Nikolai, Giulio, Konig, Bretagne, Iron Duke all have the same amount of rifles to shoot and all have faster reloads. Heck Iron Duke is among the larger calibers and still reloads faster than Oklahoma. At this point I guess if you own Oklahoma you just turn all the sounds off and relax to your own tunes. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
