Player Opinion

Battleship - West Virginia

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.
