The modern battleship Montana (BB-67) as a battleship, integrates powerful firepower output with balanced protection capabilities, becoming a versatile player on the battlefield. Today, I will share some gameplay strategies for the modern battleship Montana. The core of this ship is its 406mm main guns, combined with missiles, torpedoes, and air defense systems, making it suitable for medium to long-range fire suppression and frontline combat. Next, I will introduce the weapon configuration and playstyle positioning to help players maximize its combat potential.

Montana is equipped with 4 406mm main guns, which have a long range and stable damage, making them suitable for striking battleships and cruisers. The secondary guns are 6 rapid-fire 127mm guns, which can effectively deal with destroyers. The ship is also equipped with 2 sets of CHAMP missiles for long-range precision strikes, as well as 2 533mm torpedo tubes to enhance close-range anti-ship capabilities. In terms of air defense, 3 SeaRAM point defense systems + 2 THAAD vertical launch air defense missile systems form a multi-layered interception network, capable of effectively resisting air raids. Its overall positioning is as a medium to long-range fire support ship, suitable for serving as a core damage dealer in team battles, while also covering air defense and anti-submarine roles.

Equipment pairing recommendations: Missiles: CHAMP missiles have a long range and stable damage, suitable for prioritizing attacks on enemy battleships or carriers. If seeking burst damage, they can be replaced with "Zircon" hypersonic missiles. Main guns: 406mm naval guns have strong armor-piercing capabilities but reload slowly (about 25 seconds), so it's recommended to pair them with gun reloading acceleration plugins to increase DPS. Torpedoes: Mark 48 torpedoes have a moderate range, suitable for ambushing approaching destroyers or submarines. Air defense: The SeaRAM + THAAD combination can handle most air raids, but when facing X-level carriers, teammate support is still needed. Helicopter: The RAH-66 Comanche provides reconnaissance and anti-submarine capabilities, suitable for detecting the positions of enemy submarines.

The Montana feels most comfortable at distances of 8-12 kilometers, where it can both utilize the accuracy of its main guns and avoid being targeted by torpedoes. At the start of the game, use terrain cover to prioritize attacking enemy battleships or cruisers, weakening their firepower. When facing destroyers, the combination of secondary guns and torpedoes can quickly clear targets. For air defense, it's necessary to anticipate the direction of enemy air raids in advance and manually control the SeaRAM to intercept missiles or aircraft. If encountering a submarine, switch to ASW rockets immediately.

The core role of the Montana in the team is fire suppression, with a steady playstyle and considerable firepower. By reasonably configuring equipment, mastering the rhythm of medium-range engagements, and paying attention to team cooperation, it can play a significant role in the intense naval battles of modern warships.
