The building of Pan-American Tier VIII battleship Atlântico commences in Update 0.11.3.
The warship will slide down the ways of the British Clydebank Dockyard that saw IX Marlborough sail out not so long ago. In the beginning of the 20th century, there were no dockyards in South America, which is why many design and construction orders for the region were handled by British shipbuilding companies and others.
VIII Atlântico is armed with ten 381 mm main battery guns that are placed in five twin-gun turrets and fire only AP shells. Atlântico's primary feature is her powerful secondary battery guns with a long firing range—ten 127 mm guns and sixteen 234 mm guns with a normal firing range of 7.5 km. The secondary battery guns are accurate, but they're not that easy to use—due to an arcing trajectory, the shells travel slowly. It's harder to attack maneuverable targets with such secondary battery guns, but at the same time, you can efficiently fire at slower ships and over islands. The 127 mm guns have the same accuracy as artillery mounts of German battleships, while the 234 mm guns have similar accuracy to IX Georgia and German battlecruisers. While the ship is quite slow for a battleship of her tier, she has a sturdy deck, a citadel with solid armor, and decent overall armor protection against high-explosive shells.
