-The USS Texas was a New York-class battleship. Built as the first ship of her class, even before the lead ship USS New York, she was built by Newport News Shipbuilding shipyard and laid down on 17th April 1911 and commissioned on 12th March 1914. USS Texas was the first in many things for the US Navy, including the first to carry 14-inch (356 mm) guns, the first to mount anti-aircraft guns, the first to be able to launch aircraft, the first to control gunfire with directors and range keepers, and one of the first to receive a production radar. She is also the last surviving dreadnought-style battleship, conserved as a museum ship in dry-dock in Galveston, Texas.

USS Texas was the first in many things for the US Navy, including the first ship worldwide to carry 14-inch (356 mm) guns, the first US battleship to mount anti-aircraft guns, the first US battleship to be able to launch aircraft, the first US warship to control gunfire with directors and range keepers, and one of the first US warships to receive a production radar. She is also the last surviving dreadnought-style battleship, conserved as a museum ship in dry-dock in Galveston, Texas.
-Her armament consisted of five turrets each armed with a pair of 14-inch/45 Mark 12 cannons, with two turrets on the bow, one amidships and the last two astern. Secondary armament was made up of six 5 inch Mark 7 (127 mm) cannons in casemates with 3 on each side of hull. Short range anti-aircraft battery is supplied with a total of forty-four Oerlikon Mk. II 20 mm autocannons in various positions all over the ship, while medium-range defence is made up of ten quadruple Bofors L/60 Mark 2 cannons. Long-range anti-air protection is made up of ten 3-inch/50 Mk.10 (76 mm) cannons. USS Texas served in WWI in Europe without seeing any action. In 1926 she underwent a refit that added torpedo blisters to the side of hull, making it wider. At the beginning of WWII, she patrolled the Atlantic until returning to United States in 1941. In 1942, she would return to the Atlantic and then the Mediterranean as part of task force supporting Operation Torch. During the North African landings, she conducted two fire support missions bombarding Vichy French positions. Until D-Day in 1944, she resumed escorting convoys. She supported the Omaha beach landing and Rangers attacking Pointe du Hoc. After the capture of France, she left to the Pacific to take part in the Battle of Iwo Jima and Okinawa. She was placed in reserve on 18th June 1946. She became a museum ship in 1948.

 '''{{Specs|name}}''' was introduced in [[Update "Sons of Attila"]] as the third 14-inch US Navy battleship. Unlike [[USS Arizona|Arizona]], she possesses less firepower due to having only ten guns instead of twelve found on Arizona. As a WWI-era coal-powered dreadnought, USS Texas is quite slow and sluggish. Her magazines, although at the waterline, are protected by 305 mm thick belt armour which is sufficient protection against most long-range shells coming in at an angle. As USS Texas is in her 1945 refit, she has an anti-air search radar at her disposal, giving information about incoming threats from afar and with her large battery of medium and light autocannons ready to deal with any threat.

-Big and slow like other battleships, one can make a fresh pot of US Navy coffee in the time to turn 180 degrees! Plan which way to turn when entering battle and don't try to turn around. Small turns to help guns line up to target is advisable, especially the 5" (127 mm) guns as they have limited arcs. The acceleration and deceleration is equally unimpressive, with the ship taking a laborious pace to get up to speed and taking a fair amount of time to come to a stop again.
+USS Texas as designed was intended to hit {{Annotation|21.0 kn|39 km/h;24.2 mph}} at flank speed, similar to that of other US Navy battleships at the time. Over time, this would fall incredibly slightly to {{Annotation|20.5 kn|38 km/h;23 mph}} with the extra weight of the torpedo bulges, armour and anti-aircraft guns. This places her squarely between the [[USS Arizona]] which is still in its prewar refit and [[USS Nevada]], the current slowest US battleship. It takes Texas approximately 40 seconds to attain this speed and 50 seconds to come to a halt. Just like with other battleships, Texas has a wide turning circle, and whilst doing so her speed falls to only {{Annotation|14.0 kn|26 km/h;16 mph}}. It also takes her quite some time to respond to the helm, approximately 4-5 seconds passing before she actually begins the turn. Captains should be wary of this tendency when attempting to traverse congested waters, as it is exceedingly easy to run aground when attempting to do so. Another quirk of the Texas is that similar to the [[USS Arizona|Arizona]], her bow does like to swing back around in the opposite direction after turning, so some slight rudder usage might be necessary to keep the bow in the intended direction.

-Being the last of the US Navy dreadnoughts before [[USS Nevada]] introduced the "all-or-nothing" armor scheme, USS Texas uses the older distributed armor scheme. Compared to the other US battleships at her rank, this means she has both a thinner and narrower main belt than both the [[USS Nevada]] and [[USS Arizona]]; with a {{Annotation|12-inch|304.8 mm}} belt. This is still greater than the earlier Delaware and [[Wyoming (Family)|Wyoming-class]] battleships, but the belt doesn't cover nearly as extensive an area. It quickly falls off to {{Annotation|9 inches|228.6 mm}} of armor covering the majority of the hull, ending slightly below the secondary battery with {{Annotation|6.5 inches|165.1 mm}} of armor plating. While this is beneficial when fighting light cruisers and below, this does allow strong heavy cruisers and battleships to still quite easily punch through the belt at typical ranges; the armor only serving to trigger the fuse on armour-piercing shells. Overall, this armour scheme is better for fighting cruisers, but compared to contemporary rank battleships like the [[USS Nevada|Nevada]] it will be worse off in a battleship duel.

-As is standard for US battleships, the main-battery turrets are still well armoured, though not to the extreme extent of the later battleships. A {{Annotation|14-inch|355.6 mm}} plate, angled at 26 degrees serves as the main protection, and should protect from all but the most powerful battleship guns at point blank range; more than adequate enough for 99 percent of engagements. The sides and rear of the turrets however fall down to {{Annotation|8 inches|203.2 mm}}, capable of being penetrated by nearly every cruiser. Captains should remember to keep their turrets oriented towards the majority of threats, as being shot from these angles will easily disable them. The top is well protected from plunging fire with a {{Annotation|5.75-inch|146.05 mm}} plate, and the barbettes are reasonably armoured with {{Annotation|12 inches|304.8 mm}} of armour covering the majority, although there are some sections fore and aft with only {{Annotation|10 inches|254 mm}}. Th deck has a complicated, multilayer layout. The upper layer ranges from {{Annotation|1.75 inches|44.45 mm}} to {{Annotation|2.75 inches|69.85 mm}} in thickness, and serves to trigger the fuse on plunging shells or AP bombs. The second layer then ranges from {{Annotation|1-inch|25.4 mm}} to {{Annotation|1.5 inches|38.1 mm}} of armor, and should stop any explosive damage or splinters from reaching the magazines or the engine room. Speaking of, the magazines are positioned mostly below the waterline, but as with other American battleships a small amount does protrude over the waterline; captains should attempt to make this difficult to hit.

-Finally, the USS Texas is in her 1945 refit, and therefore has access to torpedo bulges. These will absorb up to 250 kg warheads, the same as other US battleships. This should protect from most torpedo drops, although a few select torpedos like those found on the [[PT-810]] or of course; anything with the [[Type 93 (610 mm) (Family)|Long Lance]] will blow past this protection, and usually only one or two of these are lethal. Captains should not rely on this torpedo protection, and instead should attempt to avoid torpedos as much as possible; if a torpedo hit is inevitable, avoid a hit near the magazines if at all possible.

 The commissioning of the New York class introduced the 14" (356 mm) gun as the most powerful naval cannon in the world until the British commissioned the first of the Queen Elizabeth class ships later that year, and was still quite formidable even by the end of WW2. Mounted in five double turrets, there is a measure of resiliency by less loss of firepower from a disabled turret.
 Only armour-piercing and high-explosive shells are available for the ship. The HE shells are decidedly mediocre for the calibre in terms of explosive filler, but the AP shells have a very respectable level of penetration for a high tier ship, especially as the range increases.

Secondary armament was made of six 5 inch Mark 7 cannons in casemates with 3 on each side of hull. Short range anti-aircraft battery is supplied with a total of forty-four Oerlikon Mk. II 20 mm autocannons on various places all over the ship, while medium range is made of ten quadruple Bofors L/60 Mark 2 cannons. Long range anti-air protection is made of ten 3-inch/50 Mk.10 cannons. Texas served in WWI in Europe without seeing any action. In 1926 she underwent refit that added torpedo blisters to the side of hull, making it wider. At the beggining of WWII she was patrolling in Atlantic until returning to United States in 1941. In 1942, she would return back to Atlantic and then Meditteranean as part of task force supporting the Operation Torch. During the North African landings, she conducted two fire support missions bombarding Vichy French positions. Until D-day in 1944 she resumed escorting convoys. She was supporting Omaha beach landing and Rangers attacking Pointe du Hoc. After the capture of France, she left to Pacific to take part in Battle of Iwo Jima and Okinawa.

+The Texas was a New York-class battleship. Built as the first ship of her class, even before the lead ship New York, she was built by Newport News Shipbuilding shipyard and laid down on 17th April 1911 and commissioned on 12th March 1914. Texas was the first in many things for the US Navy, including the first to carry 14-inch guns, the first to mount anti-aircraft guns, the first to be able to launch aircraft, the first to control gunfire with directors and range keepers, and one of the first to receive a production radar. She is also the last surviving dreadnought-style battleship, conserved as a museum ship in dry-dock in Galveston, Texas.
-USS Texas was introduced in update Sons of Atilla as third 14-inch US Navy battleship. Unlike Arizona she posses less firepower due to having only ten guns instead of twelve found on Arizona. As a WWI era coal powered dreadnought, Texas is quite slow and sluggish. Her magazines although at waterline, are protected by 305 mm thick belt armour which is sufficient protection against most long range shells coming in at angle. As Texas is in her 1945 refit, she have anti-air search radar at her disposal giving information about incoming threats from a far and with her large battery of medium and light autocannons ready to deal with any threat.
