The North Carolina along with Massachusetts, Alabama, And Texas, are the only WWII era battleships still with their original configuration. Unlike the Iowa’s which got a helicopter pad, and Tomahawk cruise missiles. The Alabama is in Mobile, Alabama. The Texas is in La Porte, Texas, which is pretty close to the Lexington (CV-16). The Massachusetts is in Fall River, Massachusetts.The North Carolina can be visited at its museum in Wilmington, North Carolina.

We go to the Alabama every year for boy scouts (we actually sleep on the barracks of the ship). I strongly encourage anyone togo there if they are remotely close to Mobile Bay. There is also a submarine (USS Drum) that you can go through, which is super cool and ground and air museum. It is a great place to spend a full day.

Interesting fact about North Carolina's Sister ship, USS Washington was she sunk Battleship Kirishima (Kongo-Class) at the battle of Guadalcanal. Kirishima had engaged USS South Dakota (Alabama and Massachusetts sister ship), badly damaging her and Washington moved in and crippled Kirishima, she also ran off Atago & Takao. Captain Glenn Davis was awarded the Navy Cross for his command of Washington during the battle, Captain of the South Dakota was Willis Lee.

Lets clean this up a bit. Adm. "Ching" Lee was task force commander. His flag was on Washington. Washington's commander was Capt. Glenn Davis. SoDak's commander was Capt. Thomas Gatch. SoDak took extensive superficial damage early in the engagement, rendering her combat ineffective. Washington took Kirishima under fire and annihilated--and that is the word for what happened--her with about 20 main battery hits in less than 20 minutes.

I generally like this ship, a little squishy, she needs a little extra lead as she really lobs shells which has pros and cons, all that lob can surprise enemies by getting over islands, and pretty accurate. I like her long to medium range. In a straight up close range slugging match she can be a little questionable. One thing I like about her over Iowa is she can steer herself out of trouble more often. I've dodged a surprising number of torps in this ship.

Hey there Spartan, I am your Scharnhorst. You are of course correct - I was basically out of play for a while, due to the starboard turn in the beginning.

Man, the NC is almost OP at tier 6. Almost…. It seems like some T5 and T6 BBs are good at deleting cruisers but not as good at dueling other BBs, and others are great at punching BBs but overpen a lot of CLs and some CAs. NC is the best at both for her tier. Maybe the squishiness and lesser torp reduction is a balance, but she moves well (even with upgraded Sims) and the armor is perfectly adequate. She’s not as easy to angle as Colorado, but definitely easier to protect than Nelson.
@frednone3 жыл бұрын
Thing I always liked about NC was she was part of the most succesful torpedo spread in history, the I19 fired four or six torpedoes, two hit the Wasp, which sank. One hit the NC which needed a month for repairs, and the Destroyer O'Brien took one which ended up sinking also. Also the NC was not the immediate predecessor for the Iowa, there was The South Dakota class it was between the NC and Iowa. Also, I never could figure out people who dismiss classes, I mean I get that there are ships that don't work with a given persons play style, that doesn't make it a bad ship. You have to be careful with US BBs and Cruisers, you demostrated that nicely with the Helena in the video, but properally used and they are some of the most powerful in the game.

It pretty jarring going from Colorado to Iowa and NC to Kansas.
