To combat these dangers, Illinois features the improved Repair Party unique to American battleships, healing back 0.66% HP per second instead of the standard 0.5%. Torpedoes are also a major threat, as Illinois’ long hull and average agility mean that she will struggle to dodge incoming torpedoes unless they are spotted early by teammates. Although her 38 mm midsection can resist most cruiser-caliber HE shells, most of them will instead hit her large superstructure, and can deal considerable damage even when it is saturated. Incoming high explosive salvos pose the biggest threat to her, especially over an extended period of time. Like most American battleships, Illinois features a large superstructure that can potentially arm AP salvos, but as long as she stays sufficiently angled, most AP shells will inflict minimal damage. Unlike Iowa’s waterline citadel, Illinois’ sits below the waterline, making her resilient to citadel damage if caught broadside.
She has 32 mm extremities, which can bounce all AP up to 460 mm when angled, and a 38 mm midsection. She shares Iowa’s base hull, which results in an HP pool of 68,100. Captains of both cruisers and battleships will find aspects of her play style that appeal to each of them.Īs a proposed conversion of one of the unfinished Iowa-class battleships, Illinois unsurprisingly shares her hull with Tier IX tech tree American battleship Iowa. The first of its kind in-game, Illinois offers consistent damage output on a much more durable hull compared to a cruiser, but at the expense of the individual salvo power of a normal battleship. Illinois is an American Tier IX premium battleship armed with twelve rapid-fire cruiser-caliber guns in place of traditional battleship weaponry.
