Iowa has an impressive health pool capable of reaching 70,000 HP, her armour when angled is very durable, but Iowa's armour shows its weaknesses when showing too much broadside, it can be difficult to fire all guns and remain angled. Iowa serves as a forefront platform for exceptionally strong and accurate guns which gives it an edge in mid to long-range combat. Slower in velocity, these shells might seem slow and heavy, but if shot with proper lead they pack a nasty punch on all ships. Not only that she also has special US heavy shells, these shells have higher AP alpha and better pen at ranges. Firstly it is currently the only battleship to be able to equip the artillery plotting room mod which greatly increases accuracy. Iowa main feat is her 3x3 406mm guns that have a few special characteristics that make her guns stand out from the pack. With Iowa, the players face a sudden shift in playstyle from the brawling style of battleships to a more long-range gunnery platform. Slow shell velocity makes aiming a bit harderĬulminating the US Battleship line at Tier 7 is none other than the mighty Iowa.Weak broadside armour can easily be citadelled if not angled.Playing it finally fully upgraded was just another reminder of why I don't play stock ships.Įxcellent games btw. Fiji is really good stock but is insanely good upgraded. I think I did use a little Free XP at the end but mostly I ground it all out. Don't play a lot of CL anymore so it took a LONG time to grind the XP to upgrade Fiji. Right when I got to Fiji is right around the time I got hooked on BB's and became a BB main so my Free XP went into upgrading the new BB's I got and poor Fiji stayed stock. Last ship I actually played stock and ground out the upgrades was Fiji. I will wait for enough Free XP if needed to fully upgrade them. I pretty much never play them stock anymore. I have been enjoying the ship immensely - and am now saving FXP to put the Missouri into my port ( usually I spend that FXP as quickly as I make it, as I usually prefer to fully upgrade a ship before taking her to sea). That added accuracy makes the Iowa a real blast - what a difference to the KM BBs I ground out a few months ago!. Thank you all again for the very good advice.
