Northampton Class Cruiser

The Northampton Class is a type of American Heavy Cruiser that appears in Call of Duty: The War in the Pacific.

Performance
The Northampton has good speed and maneuverability, although less so than its Japanese counterpart, the Takao Class. The Northampton has another disadvantage compared to the Takao in that it has no torpedoes, while the Takao does, however, the Northampton has an advantage in artillery. The Northamptons cannons are better in every aspect, damage, reload time, and range, the ship also has rear facing guns, unlike the Takao which has all guns mounted in the front, this gives the Northampton a clear advantage in fights with a Takao. The Northampton is also more heavily armored than the Takao, and therefore can take more damage before going down. The Northampton can also dominate Destroyers, and has no difficulty putting down Transports and Carriers, but the ship is very weak when put up against Battleships and Submarines, as a Battleships guns will tear through it with ease, and it has no defense against submarines.
