Is the USS Indianapolis any good?

Not particularly. Couple blasts from a battleship and you're dead. Pretty much seems like a regular cruiser to me the guns are decent but you'll die quickly if you're not super careful.

No, not really. But it's kinda fun for some reason. I'm glad I have mine. I play it occasionally - but not often.

Edit: I feel like it's one of those ships for collectors. Collectors will want it because of it's history. You don't see them in battle often, but it's story is more interesting than many ships.

Not worth the money, no.

[Rockstone]

Its on Steam sale now. The dubloons and flags are probably worth it (didn't really check though)... the ship is nice and if nothing else... a bonus. Either for collection, play or sell it for credits...

A very squishy mid-tier cruiser with a gimmicky 10km radar. It got nicknamed USS Sharkbait not only because of the history of the ship.

It's basically a New Orleans with some tweaks.
One of the only two tier 7 ships in the game with radar.

But, otherwise? It's manageble, but not particularly great. If you like New Orleans in the game, then, yes, you might want to buy Indianapolis. If you don't, then you'll just be wasting your money.

Three. Atlanta, Belfast, Indianapolis.

bought in on sale and ill freely admit to being a noob at this game but it seems i was the only person that didnt know its just one massive floating magnetic citadel. because i get seen and the entire enemy team seems to drop what there doing charge over and race to see who can get the free devastating strike.

it's just a 10km radar set on a citadel: really poor armor and guns, i really find the guns from helena a lot better than hers

It's because heavy USN cruisers lack the improved penetration angles up to tier 7 while an IFHE Helena produces a never ending stream of shells that penetrate most targets no matter what.

How do you play the USS INDIANAPOLIS??

gip tip plz

[Torchfire]

It's basically a New Orleans. So just play it like one.

If you don't have the NO yet, then you should remember to stay behind cover a lot, NEVER expose your broadside, and remember to switch shell types depending on target.

And, Indianapolis is one of only three tier 7 ships with radar. So make sure to use it tactically.
