For someone inexperienced with the game, Congress is setup to frustrate rather than delight enterprising players.įor veterans, Congress' durability is more exploitable. For a ship that struggles to put out the damage, this is the kind of thing that quickly erodes player confidence. She punishes bad aim and bad RNG can punish even well aimed shots. The real damning element here is her reload time and the small number of gun barrels. For a new player, this means low-damage games or quick returns to port. While she is tough for a cruiser, she's not battleship tough. She struggles to win any of the fights she picks. Wargaming really missed the mark when designing Congress. Skill Ceiling: Low / Moderate / HIGH / Extreme Skill Floor: Simple / Casual / CHALLENGING / Difficult Sluggish handling and poor overall agility. Main battery only consists of seven guns, making bad RNG feel a lot more punitive. Good accuracy with battlecruiser dispersion and 2.05 sigma. So let's get stuck in.Ĭongress has the largest hit point pool of the tier VIII cruisers.Įxcellent armour protection for a cruiser with 229mm belt, 27mm extremities and 36mm thick deck.Įxcellent AP performance, including good penetration and improved auto-ricochet angles. For someone fearing of missing out, knowing Alaska's fate (and that of most large cruiser premiums in World of Warships), Congress might not be available forever. To this end, I will be directly comparing Congress to Alaska a ship that has since been retired for "too much battle influence" (or too much popularity). Namely: " Congress is a tier VIII Alaska with two fewer gun barrels." I want to explore how close this kind of shorthand is and if it actually reflects how Congress plays. I want to examine Congress the way an experienced player might one that followed the quick descriptions made about her around the time of her development. I'm approaching this review a little differently. Please be aware that her performance may change in the future. To the best of my knowledge, the statistics discussed in this review are current as of patch 0.10.9. This ship was provided to me by Wargaming for review purposes at no cost to myself.
The following is a review of Congress, the tier VIII American Large Cruiser.
