Question

What is the Brazilian battleship Atlântico armed with in World of Warships?

Short answer

Ten 15-inch guns, sixteen 9.2-inch guns, and eight American 5-inch/38 mounts, with low speed and other game-specific limitations.

Notes

The Brazilian game battleship Atlântico combines ten 15-inch guns in five twin turrets with sixteen 9.2-inch guns in eight twin secondary mounts. Four American 5-inch/38 mounts per side add another armament layer. Its heavy secondary battery prompts comparison with older battleship design ideas. In the game, that armament comes with low speed, a large exposed citadel, and an armor-piercing-only main battery. Those balancing rules describe the game model's strengths and weaknesses, not the performance of a ship that served historically.
