Vermont line - Standard captain Build
Slow moving giant bricks designed for 1 purpose: To 100-0 brik smash any oblivious broadside ship it comes across. Improved US DCP and fast reloading repair party keep the ship alive long enough for her to unleash the strongest AP salvo in the game. However, slow speed and horrible reload heavily punishes poor positioning and aim.
This is a standard BB tank build, adapted for the USN super dreadnought branch, that provides great survivability for maximum game impact.
If you feel like you’re lacking range, pick the range mod in slot 3.
You can use the legendary upgrade on Vermont, but you will have to play a bit more carefully due to worse concealment. You can combine it with the reload mod for maximum firepower.
If you feel like your turrets traverse quickly enough without EM, drop EM and ERS for IRPR or BoS
Halsey and Doe brothers are recommended mostly for their improved skills.
If you are making a dedicated build for ships before the split, this build is preferred. Otherwise, use the build for the sub-branch you will pursue.
Applies to South Carolina, Wyoming, Arkansas, New York, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, West Virginia ‘41, Colorado, California, Kansas, Tennessee, Minnesota and Vermont.
