Player Opinion
Performance
Affectionately referred to as "Big Mo" by her crew while she was on active duty, Missouri comes to World of Warships as the game's first Tier IX premium. She has many similarities with her counterpart in the American battleship tree tech tree (Iowa) but with several key differences.
The primary difference is that Missouri carries the Surveillance Radar consumable instead of Catapult Fighter. This completely changes her play style, allowing her to aggressively support capture areas and help her team's destroyers to win battles in those areas. She is especially dangerous to British cruisers and Mikhail Kutuzov, as the radar allows her to penetrate their smoke screens and catch them off guard with a well-aimed salvo of armor penetrating shells. Other than the radar, her other combat characteristics are similar to Iowa, with powerful super-heavy AP rounds, high speed, and good anti-aircraft suite.
Missouri’s other significant difference from Iowa is her status as a premium ship. This means she earns extremely large amounts of credits — 1 million credits per match with a premium account is easily achievable in an average-to-good battle, with 1.5 to 2 million credits being possible if all modifiers are stacked in a really good battle — and experience, as well as being able to train American ship captains. The only downside to Missouri is her 750,000 Free experience cost, which equates to 30,000 doubloons to convert, making her extremely expensive. Whether she is worth this cost is up to individual captains.
LittleWhiteMouse's Premium Ship Review: Missouri from the NA forums
Pros:
- Shares the same pros as Iowa.
- Improved forward bulkhead protection over Iowa.
- Has access to the Surveillance Radar consumable, active for 35 seconds with a 9.45 km range.
- Very good at making credits. A good match with all credit modifiers and premium time can bring earnings of a million or credits more.
Cons:
- Shares the same cons as Iowa.
- Very high ship price: requires 750,000 free XP which also equates to 30,000 doubloons if one chooses to convert their ship XP's.
- Unable to mount catapult aircraft.

Upgrades
Missouri, being a Tier IX premium battleship, has full access to all six slots that her sister ship Iowa has. That said, the recommended upgrades for Missouri are similar choices. Main Armaments Modification 1 is as usual the prime choice for Upgrade Slot 1, and either Artillery Plotting Room Modification 1 or AA Guns Modification 2 are strong choices for Upgrade Slot 2. For Upgrade Slot 3, there are three viable choices of Artillery Plotting Room Modification 2 for improved accuracy, Main Battery Modification 3 for improved rate of fire at a cost of turret traverse speed, or AA Guns Modification 3 for even more potent AA firepower. Damage Control System Modification 1 is the best for Upgrade Slot 4, while Upgrade Slot 5 is another viable three-way choice between Damage Control System Modification 2 for improved surviveability, and Propulsion Modification 2 or Steering Gears Modification 2, which both offer improved handling. Finally, Concealment System Modification 1 is, in most cases, the best choice for Upgrade Slot 6.

Consumables
One of Missouri’s key differences between herself and Iowa is found in her consumables: Missouri has no Catapult Fighter or Spotting Aircraft, instead having Surveillance Radar. As Missouri is a high-tier battleship with excellent money-making capabilities, it is strongly recommended to take Damage Control Party II, Repair Party II and Surveillance Radar II at all times.
Camouflage
As a premium ship, Missouri comes included with Type 10 camouflage that lowers her detection radius, reduces the accuracy of incoming shells, and increases the amount of experience she earns. It should be noted that Missouri has two different Type 10 camouflage schemes to choose from; the only difference between them is their appearance. Furthermore, both Type 10 camouflage provides a 100% bonus to experience earned in battle, not the usual 50%.
