I mean Iowa is a fast BB concept, which literally every T9 that isn't the fat burger american T9 counterpart Minnesota, are. The speed boost of Georgia only seldom make it up for having around 5k more health on Iowa.Īnd an advantage of Iowa over the Colorado and the North Carolina: you can't get uptiered by two steps as it is common at T7 and T8. What are those better options? Just asking, as the Iowa is presently the lone tech tree T9 BB that I have, so I surely lack comparison data.īut I am sure about one thing: I'm most often favouring the Iowa over the Georgia (I have both), 3 more main gun barrels are really handy. TLDR you are getting this ship for historical purposes if at all. And there are many BBs you'll face in her tier spread that are similar or faster in speed. And you lose a ton of speed in the process. Its only defining thing in survivability is probably the heal which heals 0.66% HP stock per second vs the standard 0.5% per second. And you have a cheek weakness which isn't Yamato prominent but its def there. Its waterline I think so its not as ez as hitting a flat Soyuz cit, but its not particularly hard either.
The belt is decent, but cit is pretty big so you will hit it. Everything else pens your deck with HE and there is a ton of everything else. Big bow and stern leads to more HE penetrating there, 38mm helps you vs HE of standard and IFHE CLs, Standard CA, and DDs that aren't the German heavy DDs (Elbing line) or some reckless guy with IFHE specced German DD (Z-52 line). 9 guns isn't special, and they are decently accurate at range.
But it can overmatch quite a few cruisers. I have the Colorado from that mission last patch so I only have to grind through her (which I don’t like, being a speed demon)… I know people think highly of NC too, but Iowa is the one I am curious about.ġ6 inch guns are now the standard caliber for T9. I don’t understand the latter in particular as at least on paper she seems quite strong: 9 16inch guns (that are accurate at range?), good armour, high speed, etc… what exactly is weak? I enjoy fast battleships and like the Iowa class (they look nice), so she has been on my wish list for a while. I have heard mixed things about her, some seem to think she is good while others seem to suggest she has been power crept.
