Player Opinion

Battleship - Leviathan

Pros:

• Powerful AP shells with very good damage and penetration.
• Very durable when properly angled, with a thick lower belt..
• Very strong AA suite.
• Significant speed improvement over its counterpart Colorado, useful for supporting allies and cap areas when needed.
• Decent turning circle radius for a battleship.

Cons:

• Due to the heavy weight of AP shells, they have a long flight time meaning that excessive lead is required to hit a target.
• Poor shell grouping for an American battleship.
• Despite speed improvement, many battleships can still outrun her.
• Extensively covered in 26mm armor; vulnerable to HE spam and AP overmatch.
• Very easy to citadel when showing broadside because of the citadel's location at the waterline.
• Poor protection against torpedos and torpedo bombers due to the poor torpedo damage reduction of a mere 19%.
• Even though North Carolina's AA is strong they can be easily destroyed by HE shells and bombs.
