My favorite American BBs are predreadnoughts, though I really like the Nevadas, which, sadly, didn't make the cut (that interesting turret arrangement = win). Of the ships in the game, I daresay I prefer North Carolina above anything else. Edited May 15, 2015 by Battlecruiser_Renown 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It also, unlike the mid tier US BBs, is not utterly worthless compared to its IJN counterpart due to asinine ahistorical range, ahistorically bad AA, etc. stacking with historical mobility.

WG needs to scrap what they've got and start over. Pretty models do not make a good game.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
182 _Jayzilla In AlfaTesters, In AlfaTesters 630 posts 14,775 battles Report post #20 Posted May 15, 2015 Fairly certain that many of the posts mention their pros as a vessel in the USN tree here, like their noticeable improved AA. Wargaming will not scrap this game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

268 Hellgrunt Supertester 952 posts 13,154 battles Report post #22 Posted May 15, 2015 Low to mid-tiers, your trading speed and gun range for armor and turning radius. AA improved with the Colorado though that the only thing going for it. I'm currently grinding Colorado and its a downgrade from the New Mexico. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The armor is pretty much identical and the IJN ships generally have more health. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Besides, whatever negligible (potential) advantage you gain on the swings is more than lost on the roundabouts -- IJN battleships don't generally have to engage 3-4 cruisers at once.
