Other than the differences between South Dakota and North Carolina IRL (armor thickness, AA armament, secondary arcs), Alabama has the Iowa and Montana-type super-high citadel (as of the last time we saw anything of it - the fact those ships are getting it lowered in 0.6.4 means she might not as well), Iowa's surface concealment (16.2km, i.e. worse than NC), tighter turning circle (by 50m), faster rudder shift (15 seconds versus 17.3), and much better TDS (51% versus NC's 19).

706 [BROOK] TornadoADV Beta Testers, In AlfaTesters 3,165 posts Report post #9 Posted February 19, 2017 South Dakota is supposed to have better armor, but with how WG places USN BB citadels, I'm not holding out hope as far as that goes. But the massive torpedo bulge will help wade through flubbed torpedo beats. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

613 [CHEEZ] twitch133 Members 2,614 posts 5,906 battles Report post #12 Posted February 19, 2017 Torpedo Protection 51% ??? The funny thing is... The Torpedo defense system between South Dakota and Iowa is identical designed. sooooo. whats the difference from NC? IRL... Shorter, better TDS, more modern armor, more modern fire control, I think a slightly larger AA suite as well. In game? Probably just shorter, with a better turning radius and better TDS. Probs Better torpedo protection Along with some size differences and a couple other things above... Praying that it doesn't have the stupid oversized citadel... It probably does. SoDak and Iowa armor was identical. The only difference between the armored raft on the two was 200 feet LOA. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Having the same 16/45s as the North Carolina, it will have the same derpy shell velocity that feels like they deploy parachutes at the end of their run.

North Carolina is IMO a prettier ship tho... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Having the same 16/45s as the North Carolina, it will have the same derpy shell velocity that feels like they deploy parachutes at the end of their run. I'll pass. I guess it depends on your play-style and what you use the ships strengths for. I play German and Japanese BBs but did play NorCar on the PT server. I was impressed and understood then why NorCar and Iowa drivers sneak around as unlike Bismarck or Scharnhorst which are virtually useless at <12km you can actually land a group of shells at long distance to great effect. Japanese do it too but their dispersion is far greater than US guns. The citadel issue will need scrutiny and I don't see her as an in-yo-face brawler like Tirpitz but a mid range bruiser with a full secondary build looks very interesting indeed...
