and six AA. To be clear on paper, that is not a weak setup at all. It\u2019s just weak compared to its main competitor, the Pyotr Velikiy, which I&#8217;ve already <a href=\"https:\/\/mwstats.info\/content\/articles\/rf-tark-pyotr-velikiy-cruiser-review\/\">written an article on<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I did a test of burst damage with both of these ships and posted it on YouTube, you can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Qf3mevNRnKI\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Qf3mevNRnKI\">see it here<\/a>. It\u2019s a huge difference in favor of Pyotr, even though Massachusetts costs almost 3 times as much. Stupefying.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This, paired with its awful speed, mobility, and huge hitbox means this ship is really not a threat on the battlefield if you encounter someone who knows what they\u2019re doing or a stronger opponent such as <a href=\"https:\/\/mwstats.info\/ships\/rf-tark-pyotr-velikiy-bztzpplb\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/mwstats.info\/ships\/rf-tark-pyotr-velikiy-bztzpplb\">Pyotr<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/mwstats.info\/ships\/ijn-yamato-9e27la0v\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/mwstats.info\/ships\/ijn-yamato-9e27la0v\">Yamato<\/a>, or <a href=\"https:\/\/mwstats.info\/ships\/rf-moscow-7gzo9gh9\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/mwstats.info\/ships\/rf-moscow-7gzo9gh9\">Moscow<\/a>.

Move behind rocks and as always target carriers because they still pose a threat when you\u2019re hiding. Your AA is mediocre, keep that in mind.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Due to Massachusetts being a slow ship, every mistake you make when it comes to the positioning will be punished heavily, similar to Yamato. You have stealth, so try taking advantage of it to surprise your enemy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You are the most effective against fragile ships such as <a href=\"https:\/\/mwstats.info\/content\/articles\/uss-ddgx-destroyer-review\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/mwstats.info\/content\/articles\/uss-ddgx-destroyer-review\/\">DDG(X)<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/mwstats.info\/ships\/roks-kdx-iii-batch-ii-1qm6cq75\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/mwstats.info\/ships\/roks-kdx-iii-batch-ii-1qm6cq75\">Jeongjo<\/a>, or <a href=\"https:\/\/mwstats.info\/ships\/cn-type-058-97rswlds\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/mwstats.info\/ships\/cn-type-058-97rswlds\">Type 058<\/a>. You can tear them apart in the right circumstances using your superior HP combined with decent firepower. You can get up close to these ships to increase your chances, but watch out when fighting heavy cruisers and battleships as they will most likely kill you at close range (if it\u2019s a 1 on 1 battle).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Careful around submarines. Yes, you have a grenade launcher and 2 torpedoes, but subs nowadays are going to power through that and kill you anyway if you expose yourself too much or allow them to get underneath you.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class='mws-top-level-wp-image'>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-src=\"https:\/\/mwstats.info\/content\/app\/uploads\/cwvf10a4z25hu9al4xjtgroij3\/massa-lost-city-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"USS Massachusetts on the map Lost City\" class=\"wp-image-15938 lazyload\" data-color=\"#b48259\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mwstats.info\/content\/app\/uploads\/cwvf10a4z25hu9al4xjtgroij3\/massa-lost-city-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mwstats.info\/content\/app\/uploads\/cwvf10a4z25hu9al4xjtgroij3\/massa-lost-city-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mwstats.info\/content\/app\/uploads\/cwvf10a4z25hu9al4xjtgroij3\/massa-lost-city-bborrzanf8a3f9ugym1f2t5tn-1960x1103.jpg 1960w, https:\/\/mwstats.info\/content\/app\/uploads\/cwvf10a4z25hu9al4xjtgroij3\/massa-lost-city-36pbjani8tywzbxuuoadws0nn-1440x810.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/mwstats.info\/content\/app\/uploads\/cwvf10a4z25hu9al4xjtgroij3\/massa-lost-city-2qiby3rqpywr832hsgjqwc8a5-1080x608.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/mwstats.info\/content\/app\/uploads\/cwvf10a4z25hu9al4xjtgroij3\/massa-lost-city-8fqtnm61c984543gla8ax40d9-750x422.jpg 750w, https:\/\/mwstats.info\/content\/app\/uploads\/cwvf10a4z25hu9al4xjtgroij3\/massa-lost-city-5e4bo1hzfqiuzeohvp67gm6cy-980x551.jpg 980w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n  <noscript>\n    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mwstats.info\/content\/app\/uploads\/cwvf10a4z25hu9al4xjtgroij3\/massa-lost-city-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"USS Massachusetts on the map Lost City\" height=\"\" width=\"\">\n  <\/noscript>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Flexibility<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Massachusetts is fairly well equipped to deal with all sorts of ships at medium or long range, however, it only does one thing very well and that\u2019s dealing with fast ships. It does not have any close-range weapon such as a grenade launcher (it has something that resembles a grenade launcher but I\u2019d honestly just call it a torpedo defense system since it\u2019s pretty bad at shooting ships) and the torpedoes are cool but don\u2019t really matter much, just like the autocannons. They can be crucial sometimes but let\u2019s be honest they get blocked\/avoided most of the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Statistic-wise, Massachusetts has good HP (about the same as Pyotr) and stealth capabilities. However, it\u2019s extremely slow and not mobile so it\u2019s kinda annoying getting to places without being hit a thousand times. In that sense, it\u2019s similar to Yamato.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You could compare Massachusetts to Pyotr. It would be an unfair comparison but these two ships are similar in a lot of things. They both have three missiles, two torpedoes, six AA, and 390-400K HP, but the big difference is grenade launchers, cannons, and mobility. When it comes to cannons, Massachusetts\u2019 are better because of their damage and projectile velocity. However, Pyotr is faster, has slightly more HP, and its grenade launchers make it deal a lot more damage per burst.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This means Pyotr takes the cake in every way, statistically and equipment-wise, lol.&nbsp;Massachusetts is a good offline grinder but if you plan on doing that, just buy Yamato.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To be honest, Massy is not worth it. I feel bad for the people who spent real money to buy it and are trying to cope, but maybe next time a ship like this releases and it costs 30k gold, wait and see if it\u2019s good <strong>before<\/strong> buying it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Playing with it felt like a retarded version of Pyotr, basically the same vibes as <a href=\"https:\/\/mwstats.info\/ships\/uss-missouri-bb-63-evcciigv\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/mwstats.info\/ships\/uss-missouri-bb-63-evcciigv\">Missouri<\/a>, which is funny because <strong>I had hero equipment on it<\/strong>. All I like about Massachusetts are the cannons because they require less skill to use.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Massachusetts has an <strong>identity crisis<\/strong> (pay me extra) regarding its classification. It\u2019s supposed to be a battleship because of its BB hull number, but in the game, it\u2019s classified as a cruiser.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class='mws-top-level-wp-image'>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-src=\"https:\/\/mwstats.info\/content\/app\/uploads\/a7dl4hwyo8w47vwgkl08n8ful\/massa-zummy-composite-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"USS Massachusetts and USS Zumwalt side-by-side on the map Unexplored Rocks\" class=\"wp-image-15115 lazyload\" data-color=\"#2c5067\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mwstats.info\/content\/app\/uploads\/a7dl4hwyo8w47vwgkl08n8ful\/massa-zummy-composite-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mwstats.info\/content\/app\/uploads\/a7dl4hwyo8w47vwgkl08n8ful\/massa-zummy-composite-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mwstats.info\/content\/app\/uploads\/a7dl4hwyo8w47vwgkl08n8ful\/massa-zummy-composite-36pbjani8tywzbxuuoadws0nn-1440x810.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/mwstats.info\/content\/app\/uploads\/a7dl4hwyo8w47vwgkl08n8ful\/massa-zummy-composite-2qiby3rqpywr832hsgjqwc8a5-1080x608.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/mwstats.info\/content\/app\/uploads\/a7dl4hwyo8w47vwgkl08n8ful\/massa-zummy-composite-8fqtnm61c984543gla8ax40d9-750x422.jpg 750w, https:\/\/mwstats.info\/content\/app\/uploads\/a7dl4hwyo8w47vwgkl08n8ful\/massa-zummy-composite-7vlw59cfxviqsayd7thu0q66x-470x264.jpg 470w, https:\/\/mwstats.info\/content\/app\/uploads\/a7dl4hwyo8w47vwgkl08n8ful\/massa-zummy-composite-5e4bo1hzfqiuzeohvp67gm6cy-980x551.jpg 980w, https:\/\/mwstats.info\/content\/app\/uploads\/a7dl4hwyo8w47vwgkl08n8ful\/massa-zummy-composite-bborrzanf8a3f9ugym1f2t5tn-1960x1103.jpg 1960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n  <noscript>\n    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mwstats.info\/content\/app\/uploads\/a7dl4hwyo8w47vwgkl08n8ful\/massa-zummy-composite-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"USS Massachusetts and USS Zumwalt side-by-side on the map Unexplored Rocks\" height=\"\" width=\"\">\n  <\/noscript>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>P.S.
