USS Wyoming is expected to dock in player ports with the arrival of the next major War Thunder update and will succeed the USS North Dakota at the top rank of the American naval tree in the game. As a result, a more powerful 43,187 hp steam propulsion system is installed to maintain a top speed of 21.4 knots (39.6 km/h). On the other hand, the increased firepower and protection also increased the ship’s displacement. As a result, the ship’s survivability against torpedo damage increases and when combined with the sizable complement of 1,242 sailors makes the USS Wyoming a highly durable warship even during extended gunfights. While at a first glance, the armor protection on USS Wyoming doesn’t seem to differ much from its predecessor - possessing neigh identical armor values at its vital components - the warship did receive improved anti-torpedo protection in the form of enlarged torpedo bulges and the installation of torpedo bulkheads. The battleship continued being used in this role throughout WWII until it was finally decommissioned in 1947 after more than 30 years of service. In the interwar period, USS Wyoming underwent significant modification in the wake of the London Naval Treaty going into effect and was increasingly being used in service as a training vessel to help stem the ever growing demand for fresh recruits, particularly during WWII. Together with the Royal Navy, USS Wyoming escorted a convoy to Norway, covered a minelaying operation in the North Sea and, at the end of the war in 1918, assisted in interning the German High Seas Fleet in late 1918. During WWI, the ship most notably took part in combined actions with the British Fleet as part of the 6th Battle Squadron of the British Grand Fleet. After being commissioned, USS Wyoming took part in various activities in the pre-WWI period, including goodwill tours, gunnery as well as large fleet exercises. USS Wyoming was laid down in February 1910, launched in 1911 and completed a year later in September 1912.

The result of this was the development of the Wyoming-class battleships of which two were ordered in March 1909. Due to concerns over procurement time and oversized displacement, the decision was made to design the new ship around the existing 12’’ guns and fit the ship with six twin turrets. Navy began drawing up plans for their next series of battleships to succeed the Florida-class.
