The fastest battleship in the game at a whopping 33 knots.

Improved torpedo defense system with a torpedo damage reduction of 27% (compared to North Carolina’s 19%).

Incredible anti-aircraft suite makes her highly resistant to aerial assault.

Armor is more durable than predecessors.

Able to mount Artillery Plotting Room Modification 2 for better dispersion.

Better penetration and shell velocity compared to North Carolina due to the 50 caliber gun.

Same gun range as her predecessor and highest range for a battleship at her tier.

The ships also featured powerful 16 Inch Mark 7 Guns. The battleship's survivability was significantly improved owing to a novel and powerful torpedo protection system and a fundamentally different armor protection system featuring an internal armor belt. All four Iowa-class ships built are now preserved as military museum ships: USS Iowa in San Pedro, California USS Missouri in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii (Noted as the ending of World War II) USS Wisconsin in Norfolk, Virginia and USS New Jersey in Camden, New Jersey. Iowa's speed surpassed the speed of all battleships in the world.

For reasons I can't comprehend, the developers gave French cruisers a camouflage resembling Measure 22 while leaving it out for American ships, which completely baffles me.Īnd yes, I mainly use American ships (as anyone who checks my stats will readily discover), but I hardly think giving American ships the Measure 22 pattern would make them drastically more effective as I had seen some people allude to, especially when French ships have a pattern like that as well.Iowa is an American Battleship found in the game. In addition to giving Iowa the correct Measure 32/1B, I think the alternate camouflage for completing the collections should be the Measure 22 camouflage that high tier American premiums currently have.

The OP has the summary, and I've also added Colosseum's updated shipbucket drawing of the Iowa previously, the patches were drawn as flat black but upon further research Colosseum found out that they were actually painted Navy blue.įurthermore, I find the mere color palette swap as the alternate American camouflage option to be rather uninspired and lazy.

Well, the American cruiser split is upon us in the next two patches, and given that the upcoming Halsey-inspired collection is bringing some color palette changes for American ships, I figure this would be a good time to revive this topic regarding the Iowa's measure 32 camouflage.
