 +*Dazzle camouflage resembles the Measure 32/7D scheme, which was actually applied to ''West Virginia'' after her reconstruction in 1944.
 +*Overall sea blue hull is missing. A similar paint scheme can be found on ''[[Arizona]]''.

Special

W. Virginia '41 — American special premium Tier VI battleship.

The third and final Colorado-class battleship. USS West Virginia spent the interwar period conducting training voyages and exercises. Before World War II, the battleship was supposed to receive bulges, reinforced deck armor, and air defenses, as well as new boilers and a new fire-control system, but the modernization was postponed until 1942, and the ship never went through it. During the Pearl Harbor raid, West Virginia received multiple torpedo and bomb hits, then sank on an even keel. In May 1942, the battleship was raised and repaired, and only then did she finally undergo a radical modernization.

Player Opinion


Pros:

  • Strongest gun armament of any tier 6 Battleship.
  • Durable armor against sub-15in guns
  • Low citadel

Cons:

  • Poor mobility, with a low top speed of 21 knots and inferior turning radius to other Standard-Type USN Battleships
  • Weak AA, inferior (albeit very slightly) even to that of the [Arizona]
  • Covered extensively by 25mm plating, leaving West Virginia to be very vulnerable to HE spam and overmatch from guns larger than 356mm.
  • Inferior detection radius compared to other tier VI American battleships.
  • Main Battery range is inferior to most other tier VI battleship without Artillery Plotting Room Modification 1 Extends the firing range of the main battery and secondary battery: +16% main battery firing range. / +5% secondary battery firing range. / -5% secondary battery dispersion., although use of a spotter aircraft can aid in this regard.
