USS CA-134 Des Moines is a heavy cruiser, developed in the USA in the mid 1940s. At that time, the Des Moines type embodied all the world experience gained during the war years. Its armament, armoring, air defense and electronic weaponry were far superior to all ships within its class.

The key element of the project was the new rapid-fire main battery guns with automated reload - the fire performance of the Des Moines-class cruisers significantly exceeded all previous analogues. The maximum speed of the ship is 33 knots (61 km/h). It is armed with nine 203 mm guns in three triple mounts, twelve 127 mm guns in six twin mounts, twelve twin 76 mm automatic gun mounts and twelve twin 20 mm Oerlikon AA guns. In addition, the cruiser is equipped with aft smoke equipment for setting smoke screens.
USS CA-134 Des Moines will be added to the game in the upcoming major update of War Thunder. All pre-order customers will also get special customization options: “The last all-gun" title, unique profile icon, as well as Des Moines insignia decal.

Comments will be premoderatedThere must be some mistake, it should be Rank V. ( kidding ;-) )
Why? We Already have the Newport News.
USS Salem is coming i think.........
At least make the Salem the better one of the three here. Please. You guys already ruined the Brooklyn, Baltimore, Town and Hipper classes by always leaving the worst version to the tech tree. And by better I mean better in game. Practically. Not by numbers and gun caliber. It's always for naval you guys do this. If we had a larger and "actual" player base like the rest of the modes, we'd have more players and CCs speaking against this too.. Just please don't ruin this.
As I peruse history for the great French Naval actions of WW2, I keep wondering, what French Navy players are demanding?
As fast as I lose ships in Naval RB, this is most welcome, and a premium besides. Glad I bought all ten crew slots for the U.S.
Going off topic, I wonder if France will finally get a change regarding different flags on FF (Free France), VF (Vichy France), FTP (French Third Republic).
