My div went all in on Alabama very early on. I chose a different route, holding out for Big Mamie--which we KNEW was coming, but just not when. Alabama was a helluva ship that first year and I did pick her up later, but div got a lot of use out of her from the getgo. A formidable ship, even to this day. I've been using her quite a bit of late, mostly due to her consistent performance.

The “Mighty A,” as she’s known at the park & museum in Mobile, was my 1sr GXP grind & I still play her almost every time I log into the game. She’s my fave ship in the game, although not my most played. Probably my 2nd most played after the Arkansas (before CVs showed up 😂). & I like the looks of the SoDak class slightly better than the Iowa class; but that’s just my opinion. Great video, Derka!

Alabama is awesome. The armor scheme is better than Iowa, the AA I one of the best in class, and it is super consistent. The big thing with Alabama over any other American BB is the horizontal dispersion. It has the best maximum horizontal dispersion for a BB in the game. The Constellation feels better because of the BC dispersion formula.

Every ship has to have weaknesses. If cruisers can survive being shot at by a BB for minutes then they should be able to burn it down. Otherwise nobody will play cruiser and the game will return to 6 Jean barts bow tanking and reversing while being torped by 3 Yudachis. Kutuzov and Chapayev quickly changed the Meta and we don't see 6 or 7 Jean barts any more.

You cannot change the armor on ships in the game if that's what you're asking. Whatever armor a ship has, that's just how it was constructed.
