Player Opinion

Pros:

• Well armored citadel positioned low in the ship, making citadel penetrations uncommon.
• Durable against AP shells of 356mm and lower caliber when properly angled.
• Eight 406mm guns with the same penetration and damage as Colorado.
• Good turn radius and quick rudder shift for a battleship.

Cons:

• Mostly covered with 25mm thick plating vulnerable to HE penetrations and 380mm or larger battleship guns.
• Slow top speed, a common weakness for American low- and mid-tier battleships.
• Weak AA defenses.
