| Following the outbreak of World War II, ''Arkansas'' conducted Neutrality Patrols in the Atlantic prior to America's entry into the war. Thereafter, she escorted convoys to Europe through 1944; in June, she supported the invasion of Normandy, and in August she provided gunfire support to the invasion of southern France. In 1945, she transferred to the Pacific, and bombarded Japanese positions during the invasions of Iwo Jima and Okinawa. After the end of the war, she ferried troops back to the United States as part of Operation ''Magic Carpet''. ''Arkansas'' was expended as a target in Operation ''Crossroads'', a pair of nuclear weapon tests at Bikini Atoll in July 1946. | Following the outbreak of World War II, ''Arkansas'' conducted Neutrality Patrols in the Atlantic prior to America's entry into the war.

[[Ship:|]] — N/A special premium Tier N/A.
A dreadnought with good armor, reasonably good armament for her time, and balanced performance, typical of U.S. Navy battleships. Due to a lack of AA armament, the ship was vulnerable to air strikes.
Arkansas Beta was given out as a gift ship to players who completed 49 or more matches of any mode during the Closed Beta. It is no longer available.

Player Opinion
Performance
Arkansas is essentially a stock Wyoming upgraded with the 28,000 hp propulsion and the hit points of the Wyoming (B) hull. The only other difference is that for some reason it has 0.7 less range than a stock Wyoming. As with American battleships, the armor is an all-or-nothing scheme with most of the protection surrounding the citadel, leaving the bow and stern vulnerable. The hard part of playing this ship is that she has absolutely no defense against enemy aircraft. If you find yourself being targeted by aircraft carriers, the only thing you can do about it is turn away, but that still won't do much good with the slow turning rate. If played as a close range brawler, her guns can destroy anything; the option to mount Main Battery Modification 3 allowing for a much higher rate of fire than a standard battleship of this tier.
The only performance advantage the Arkansas has is that it has all access to all six upgrade slots. Of course, actually using all of those slots will cost the player 6,875,000 credits. Upgrade Slots 1 and 4 are already available on the Wyoming. Upgrade Slot 2 can be equipped with a Gun Firing Control System Modification 1 to improve firing range so that it nearly ties an elite Wyoming. However, that only serves to bring parity. Upgrade Slot 3, Slot 5, and Slot 6 are where any potential improvements are to be had.
LittleWhiteMouse's Premium Ship Review: Arkansas from the NA forumsPros:
- Premium ship, excellent for earning credits and developing captains.
- Has a faster top speed, equivalent to Wyoming with the engine upgrade.
- Can use all six upgrade slots, normally only available to ships at Tier IX and X.
- As a result of the above she can obtain a very high sustained damage output.
- Can reach an astoundingly low 10.2 km detection range when fully built for concealment.
- Secondaries can be formidable with upgrades.
Cons:
- Enormous gun dispersion even at close range
- Certain upgrades are required in order for the ship to perform at an acceptable level.
- Literally not a single AA gun and all carrier pilots know it.
- Deck armor is on the weak side; incoming high explosive rounds are a concern.
- Pretty slow, just like Wyoming. Don't plan on getting anywhere in a hurry.
Research
Optimal Configuration
Upgrades
Slot 1 is most commonly filled with Main Armaments Modification 1 
.
Slot 2 has one choice for battleships - Damage Control System Modification 1 
. This will reduce chances of fire and flood.
Slot 3 offers several options. Secondary Battery Modification 1 (
) will boost the range and accuracy of secondaries instead. Artillery Plotting Room Modification 1 
will increase range and give secondaries a slight boost in range and accuracy, but may be a weaker choice than the other two.
Slot 4 Steering Gears Modification 2 
is recommended and will reduce rudder shift time. Captains with fire problems could also consider Damage Control System Modification 2 
, reducing the amount of time on fire and conserving hit points.
Slot 5 Maximizing stealth is never a bad choice. With the Concealment Expert commander skill, Concealment System Modification 1 
, and appropriate camouflage, this ship can choose when to engage the enemy.
Slot 6 The recommended choice is Artillery Plotting Room Modification 2 
to give guns more accuracy; this will make it so that at ranges of ~12-13 kilometers, the battleship is exceptionally accurate, much more so than contemporaries. Main Battery Modification 3 
will improve damage-per-minute, and may surprise a cruiser who still expects the battleship to be reloading.
Commander Skills
The following information is provided for players who wish to create a permanent captain for the ship. Those players who are retraining captains or using the ship to gain extra experience for a captain should consult the page relevant to the ship to which the captain will be assigned.

Camouflage
As a premium ship, Arkansas Beta comes included with Type 9 camouflage that lowers her detection radius, reduces the accuracy of incoming shells, and increases the amount of experience she earns.Gallery
