On the other hand, these shells take a long time to go up and come down, making it difficult to lead enemy ships that are actively maneuvering. On one hand, it's easy to lob the the shells over islands and onto enemy ships since they go into low earth orbit after being fired. The issue of engagement distance can be somewhat mitigated by Boise’s high explosive shells - which can be a bit of a double edged sword due to their high arcing, low velocity nature. While her 13.6 km range is a smidge better than Atlanta's 13.4 km base range, it falls somewhat short of Helena’s 14.6 km. Thus, captains should take care to minimize her exposure to the enemy team through careful positioning and map awareness however, keeping Boise away from harm's reach can be difficult due to her short main battery range. As a result, any health regained through the repair consumable can quickly be lost again. Her armor simply isn't adequate protection against battleship shells, and even cruiser shells chew through her health pool all too quickly. She is a light cruiser branch and does not take well to being shot at. They are simply the most notable.īoise isn't a front line ship, no matter what her outstanding repair ability suggests. These aren't the only differences between the two ships, though. There are a few notable differences between the two ships, however: Helena, for instance, has a kilometer more of range on her main battery guns, while Boise gains access to the Specialized Repair Teams consumable. Comparisons between the two ships are well-earned, given that the two classes are closely related in American light cruiser design and development in the 1930's anyone used to playing one of them should find the other a comfortable fit as well. The data presented in the AA Defense sidebar section may be incorrect.įor a graphic summary of ships Tiers VIII thru XI see LittleWhiteMouse's "Actual AA DPS".īoise has many similarities to Tier VII American tech tree cruiser Helena.
