True, but I do wonder how much crew damage 2x 4k cookies from a Canberra would actually do vs something like a Yamato
or 8x 1000lb from a Buc S1
Also a better chance of getting through to actually drop something
If the devs fix this, Iowa may actually be the 2nd best Battleship ingame! (after Soyuz lol)

Since we would be able to empty the upper shell room by loading a lower ammunition capacity; therefore removing the biggest crippling weakness she has.
I REALLY hope they fix this! Otherwise, Iowa will just blow up as easily as every other American ship.
We finally have the chance to get an actually survivable ship here!

I believe your reload would reduce to the level of Littorio as a rebound.
I must admit I didn’t grind the US so I couldn’t guess which option is worse.
Maybe just worth making the shells inert, as you can still reliably detonate US ships down the barbette.

makes it so that the ammo fills top to bottom

I think Gaijin may have been confused about how many ships were really in the rank due to Barham. 5 +1 event vehicle.
Which could indicate that they know so little about naval that they’re completely unaware as to how many ships are in each tree. I get that naval isn’t a huge money maker but, being that unaware… geez, it is no wonder they keep making such unpopular changes.

akm-47? isnt it just akm?
Is there more of that list it looks cut off
Search your feelings, you know it to be true…
Soyuz’s 406 AP shells have twice the TNT equivalent while not losing any penetration, the thing has significantly thicker armor overall and much smaller and lower ammoracks xD
Lleaving aside the non-viability of the ship in general because of logistic and budget reasons (since none of those matter for vehicle implementations, to be fair), I can’t help but to wonder whether those AP shells and their current performance are physically possible at all. That being said, I’m not very knowledgeable of this project, so who knows.

Well, I’ll be.
I was always thinking that infantry would just come in the form of AI dismounts for IFVs but this sounds like they are trying to make a dedicated Infantry mode.
maybe its for atomic thunder/atlantic type event after april fools
or even leaked files for next years april fools
