Why would the 2S38 go up in BR? It’s fine where it is.

I don’t think Iowa will be extraordinary ingame, to be honest.
Its armor was designed to be effective at ranges well beyond those seen ingame; 16,000m to 27,000m.
In War Thunder, engagements take place at point-blank ranges; Ships spawn 15,000m away and the average engagement ranges are 7,000-11,000m… which means that Iowa’s armor will always be pennable.
Not to mention the crippling weakness barbette shell rooms are in War Thunder, since Gaijin decided to artificially nerf them to be a weakspot they weren’t in real life “for gameplay purposes”… so Iowa will be barely any better than the current American BBs, if at all.

i mean itll have decent firepower.
seems like W23/ Mk 23 justification to me lol
I think the Queens of Naval will be H-39, Bismarck, and WW2 refit Nagato…
Not only do these ships have the best kind of armor for the ingame engagement ranges, but they also have the quickest rates of fire- 24 and 25 seconds, respectively.
The way Gaijin treats American Battleships, we will be lucky if the Iowas get a 35 second reload… and even if we were fortunate and got a 30 second one, the German and Japanese ships will still have a significantly quicker rate of fire.
And, when everyone can lolpen everyone, what defines meta is the rate of fire.
So… yeah. Iowas will be mediocre at best. If Gaijin at least fixed shell rooms, they would be MUCH better… but it doesn’t seem to be going to be the case. They WANT shell rooms to act like magazines. So… every time an Iowa is hit in the barbettes, it will blow up just like any currently ingame Standard BB.

yeah, like you said if they fix shell room/barbette thing it would be good, but they might not.
it would be REALLY REALLY funny if they added its IRL nuke shells though, would give it something to make up for lower RoF :)

Another thing that would help the Iowa is if they modelled the STS Steel’s additional strength and gave it a 1.4 multiplier or something, instead of modelling it like basic RHA/CHA.
Then, maybe its armor could actually be somehow relevant!

Turns out they are too deviant to bother so I had to try my hand (for the first time) to make it so should explain why it is a bit scuffed.

Any word about tiger skins for the German EF?
anyone have the pic of Smin’s profile with laser eyes, maybe it could get a little cameo
The German EFT has already received its additional skins, as have the Italian and British ones too.
Can we exspect some Eurofighter skins in the Update Skin chest?
Took longer than I thought for someone to make this skin.
Also the best joke of all time would be for this skin to be added in the Storm Warning crates, that way the E*P is actually in-game and people can stop asking for it.
