The beauty of the USN BB line is in that mastering it makes you a fundamentally better BB player. The line rewards good play and punishes bad mistakes, unlike some other lines.
I prefer the Iowa than the montana just because the speed and the concealment. That allows me to sneek and create crossfire. I remember i sold my iowa to get the montana as it is my first t10 ship, and then i am highly disappointed. Montana is way too sluggish for me and the extra hp and 3 guns does not help.

I flew out to Anaheim in 2019, and had to take a detour to L.A. to see the Iowa, and boy, oh boy... what a treat that was. It happened to be fleet week, which was a bonus seeing the LCS ships too, but seeing one just to the sturn of the Iowa, it really put the overall magnitude of it into perspective. She's a damned intimidating sight to behold for sure.

She's my favorite and most played ship in game. Unfortunately I had to stop playing her because I couldn't stand wasting her in games with super CVs and super DDs where you constantly get burned down or torped by invisible ships. In my opinion in the current meta she really suffers not having any radar/hydro or even an AA boost like the one you can find on some cruisers

Did my first random battle in my new Iowa yesterday. A CV went straight for me and from a single torp squadron, hit me with 8 torps in 2 attacks. I went from full HP to 15% in 20 seconds. And this all happened before being 2 mins in the match. Literally ruined the match for me and my team because i was trying so hard to get away and dodge the CV attacks, to no avail, that i couldnt even focus on firing my guns. My team collapsed so fast without me dumping shells on people.

Don't have Iowa yet, but I was able to get Missouri which has AFAIK the very same gun stats, and although the ship is no sniper, she is damn accurate even at the far ends of her module-extended range. The shells are slow, but they fly really close together IMHO, so if you fight a non-maneuvering target (hello Thunderer) and have the correct lead to it, it can be devastating... and the same is true for many other US battleships...

Good video. In real life the Iowa would have detected the Shima further out with her radar, shredded her with the multiple 127mm guns, and destroyed her all the while detecting the torps way ahead of time. I have had the Iowa a long time, put one of the Doe brothers on her as commander, but she still lacks the highly coveted radar only MO has, which is a dam shame. I cannot get the MO, or the other Iowa class ships as they are not offered. I don't play the Iowa much for the very reason at the end of your video, the DDs have too much advantage. Not complaining just discouraged a real life Naval ship is not given more to glorify her historical significance. Thanks for highlighting the ship SLM, i frankly don't know how you pump out so much great content so i salute you!. Cmdr-WSRamsey (game name and in honor of my dad USN Commander John W Ramsey and fighter pilot 1941-1963 Sundowners VF-11 and VF-111). One last thing WG should put the super-ships in a Korean War battle mode (T10s and super-ships can play in this, supers cannot play in T9 or below battles), just my opinion.
