Iowa isnt invincible tho it has weak spots and while it has a good reload its damage isnt anything to write home about. I think the other BBs can still do something.
Soyuz on the other hand is just straight up broken. It would be more balanced if it wasnt for that soviet ship.
Well, I think Iowa without Soyuz will be more imbalanced than Soyuz with Iowa. That’s my impression with I using both ships on dev server.
I agree, after an update during the 2nd dev server Iowa’s shell room has been subdivided - now by taking less than 50% ammo she can remove all shell rooms inside the barbette, a long requested buff for US battleship players. The only weak spot of Iowa is the frontal bulkhead which is not as invincible as Sovetskiy Soyuz but otherwise she’s outperforming everyone else by a significant margin just like the Soyuz at this moment
And we know that Iowa doesn’t rely on frontal bulkhead like Soyuz as side armor is much stronger and Iowa class cannot fire freely on front XD
Also to be minded that Missouri and Wisconsin had their frontal bulkhead reinforced to 14" from 11" on Iowa and New Jersey. Imagine Missouri comes to this update instead of Iowa she would have been just as broken as Sovetskiy Soyuz
Yeah that’s what I want to say but don’t say. I want USS Missouri as September 1945 and Wisconsin in version between 1945~1952. I’m pretty sure all Iowa class will be in game one day as they are most famous
will tirpitz be tech tree or event or premium im praying shes not premium and will her black and white paint job be avalible like PRINZ EUGEN or will we have to get it from crates cause crates are a scam
and will bismarck be getting her skin
Dont think Tirpitz will be premium because of Gneisenau.
i pray that they dont cause when rank 9 comes theylle need a premium for it
They imply battleship will be the endcontents for bluewater tree so as for now Rank VII will be the last Rank.
Wth rank 9 we are probably over the BB era and premiums will be missile cruisers :-)
Either that, or the “bluewater” line as we know it ends at Rank 8 and they add another branch for the next era of naval or something. That way ASM ships are an entirely different branch.
good :D
Got an accidental magazine hit on a Bismarck today. Wasn’t aiming at him, I was aiming at a Yamashiro in front of him.
The armor is really crap frontally. Also, unlike the Scharnhorst, the pump doesn’t shield the magazine.
While playing Bismarck, I do die more often compared to Scharnhorst and Gneisenau, but I’m not sure it’s because of her armorscheme or I’m just getting focused becouse "Sink the Bismarck "
Still I love playing it!
Hood shall be avenged!
:p
Have yet to encounter a player controlled hood, but when I do… 😈
For Hood… :P
Hah, nice one
Wow, does the Yamato have the worst pen of every ship added in the update that’s centered around it? I thought it would at least have something going for it, to compensate for the terrible protection
