Slightly worse rudder shift than New York gives her less reaction time to dodge incoming torpedoes.

Slow speed of 20.5 knots means she will frequently find herself left behind by her teammates.

Still, for a mid-tier premium, Texas is a great ship for making credits and re-training captains: fun to drive, easy to learn, and uncomplicated to play. Players experienced with the American battleship line will have little trouble adapting to Texas' playstyle she is as subtle as a brick to the face, and she doesn't get where she's going in a hurry. Destroyers that work in close will have to be dealt with via her primary weapons, as virtually all of her secondary batteries have been sacrificed in favor of anti-aircraft guns she'll get very little help from the half-dozen anti-surface secondaries she has left. Similarly, her armor scheme holds up well until she starts seeing the incoming rounds from the likes of Colorado, Gneisenau, and Nagato. Like New York, her 14-inch guns are more than a match for the foes she will encounter at Tier V and VI, though she will struggle a bit more when up-tiered into Tier VII games.

Largely impervious to aircraft attacks, Texas can then focus her attention where it belongs: on enemy surface vessels.

While it makes picking up the Advanced Firing Training commander skill an easy choice, it does leave players with a hard decision between AA Modification 2 and Artillery Plotting Room Modification 1 for Upgrade Slot 3. Most of that punch is packed into her 40mm Bofors guns, which have a maximum range of only 3.5km. Texas boasts more than three times the anti-aircraft firepower of New York indeed, she has more AA power than any other battleship of any nation until North Carolina at Tier VIII. The primary difference - and what everyone talks about when talking about Texas - is her ridiculous (for Tier V) anti-aircraft suite. There are subtle differences in her speed (0.5 kts slower), detectability ranges (more visible from the air), and rudder shift (slightly worse) the firing angles of her middle turret are a vast improvement over those aboard New York. She has essentially the same primary statistics as New York her health pool, armor, guns, turret traverse, and range are all the same. Texas is a late World War II variant of the American Tier V New York-class battleship.
