Seattle’s main battery guns themselves are also something of a mixed bag. Seattle’s mid-range AA bubble is notably more powerful, though, as she packs a dozen quad 40mm Bofors mounts her AA DPS at mid-range is 50% higher than that of Cleveland. It's an awkward trade, but it ends up working out slightly in Seattle’s favor, as her outer AA bubble picks up an extra kilometer of range while the DPS is basically a wash. These venerable guns - found in a myriad of places across American ships of all classes - that comprised the long-range anti-aircraft battery at Tier VIII have been replaced by Seattle’s 152mm/47 Mark 17 dual-purpose main battery at Tier IX. One of the most notable differences between Cleveland and Seattle is the loss of the former's 5"/38 dual-purpose secondary turrets. Indeed, if placed side-by-side with Buffalo, captains will notice many similarities (such as her amidships aircraft catapults) and a couple of glaring changes. Seattle is notably longer and bulkier, trading Cleveland’s compact hull and svelte handling for a hull form and layout that has much more in common with her heavy cruiser counterpart Buffalo. Some aspects of Tier IX's Seattle will feel like a downgrade for players who took the time to play through Cleveland at Tier VIII.
