![]() ![]() They killed me but I managed to apply 100k damage and kill a few of them in the process. Yesterday I had 2DDs, 2BBs and 2 cruisers chasing me for 10 minutes while my team was winning the game. It's accurate, it's tough and fast (even before upgrades). Iowa is like a breath of fresh air again. I didn't feel comfortable with the NC and it was the only US BB that made me feel like that since the SC. So far I had like 6 games in the Iowa (not playing premium so I have to play a bit conservative atm) but the feeling is waaaay better than NC. I have the rudder mod installed but I never previewed the next hull and checked the stats so I will have to know once I unlock the C hull.Ībout what you say from the AA DPS improving, I didn't check it in the stats, I'll take a look tonight. I checked the rudder and it shows 15.6s yes but dunno if it takes into account your current mods. Yeah I was checking yesterday night at home. I believe it is a 16 gun net loss not 2 btw (77 w/ B and 61 w C). Also, while you lose some AA mounts with Hull C vs Hull B the DPS for the guns goes up so overall AA improves. Hull C improves the rudder shift which is HUGE. It is pretty tough too as long as you don't take one full broadside and then it can eat citadels pretty good (especially under front turrets - seems to be the weakest spot). That 33 knots is great for getting out of a bad situation (if you can get turned that is without getting lolpened) or for repositioning to an area of need on the map. The AA is fantastic and the main guns are sweet. Montana is even longer with a bigger turning radius (950m) and slower rudder (17.8 w/ SGM2) so Iowa prepares you for that. Iowa is very long and has a horrendous 920m turning radius as well so plan your turns well in advance and keep an ever watchful eye out for torps as dodging them in Iowa is a chore. This will bring that horrible rudder shift down to a livable 15.6 seconds. ![]() So, get the B then C hull 1st and also use Steering Gears Mod 2. Think about it a minute, that is almost as long as the main gun reload at 30 seconds. Stock the Iowa has a glacial 25.6 sec rudder shift. In addition to more HP and better AA they help the biggest weakness on the ship = rudder shift. 100% the Hulls 1st and BOTH of them asap. ![]()
