A premium Arizona wouldn't surprise me but there's no word on premium's not already in the game. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You are now driving a Pennsylvania/Arizona class BB. There wasn't much difference (aside from what was in the turrets, the barbette were the same), amongst the US BBs from Penn to Colorado. There is a reason they are often referred to as "standard battleships". They probably went with the New Mexico class because of the Clipper Bow (otherwise, pretty much the same as the previous class). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My novel (BB-39) has a good, historically based, description of that morning. It is available as an ebook, in print, and as an audio book on Amazon. A.G.

359 Tears_of_Destiny Beta Testers 966 posts Report post #15 Posted June 3, 2015 (edited) It fought prior to WWII, we hadn't entered the war yet. I'd argue that the moment someone shoots at you (and you start shooting back), they entered you into the war (which had already started 8/1/1939 for the rest of the world) irregardless of the official political declaration. A practical outlook (favoring the definition of War) rather then a political one, which is often pointless as it is entirely arbitrary whether military action is authorized or even a declaration issued, the American Civil War was never declared as the Confederacy was never acknowledged as a legitimate sovereignty for example. Otherwise, the last "war" the USA has been in is WWII according to history since that was the last official declaration. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Declaration_of_war_by_the_United_States#Declarations_of_war Indeed, the political definition of war is entirely useless for all practical matters of history, as many times US military action has even been authorized by the pentagon for extended usage without even authorization from Congress... Did you know that Russia and Japan are still technically at war due to a WWII dispute that has yet to be resolved over a wee bit of land in the middle of a bunch of water? They never signed a peace treaty, yet we all know this is merely political stubbornness and historically near-meaningless as they haven't "done" anything to each other for over half a century.
