Arizona — American special premium Tier VI battleship.

USS Arizona, the second Pennsylvania-class battleship, was laid down in March 1914 and entered service two years later. During World War I, she was part of Battleship Division 8. Later, the battleship was transferred to the Pacific Fleet, where she primarily participated in exercises during the 1920s and 30s. In the early 1940s, the ship underwent a major overhaul. During the Japanese raid on Pearl Harbor, she was hit by several bombs that caused an explosion in the main battery magazines, resulting in the loss of the ship and more than 1,000 crew members. A National Memorial was unveiled at the site of the tragedy in 1962.

Player Opinion

Performance

Arizona is a Tier VI American battleship. It is similar to other mid-tier US battleships in that it moves at 21 kts and has decent armor. However, it differs from her tech tree counterpart in that her guns have a higher sigma value, making her salvo patterns tighter, and has worse rudder shift and AA. Her guns are great for shooting cruisers and destroyers, but at only 45 calibers long, their penetration starts to become inadequate as battleships start mounting 16-inch guns (and become armored against them), meaning you may have to switch to HE at longer ranges to deal damage and set fires. Her slower rudder shift isn't really noticeable, but combined with the lack of AA, makes her vulnerable to enemy carriers; it's a good idea to seek out anti-aircraft cruiser escorts if there are carriers in the battle, as well as paying careful attention to where enemy planes are at all times.

LittleWhiteMouse's Premium Ship Review: Arizona from the NA forums

Pros:

Largest health pool for its tier.
Good dispersion, able to reliably hit ships at range.
Considerably better armor than New Mexico.
Decent range.

Cons:

Slower shells than New Mexico.
Slower rudder shift than New Mexico.
Slowest reload for its tier and gun caliber.
Typically low USN battleship mobility.
Unreliable anti-air power.
Guns lack penetration power vs higher tier battleships.
Short range secondaries only reach 5km with Advanced Firing Training.

 USS ''Arizona'' was a ''Pennsylvania''-class battleship built for and by the United States Navy in the mid-1910s. Named in honor of the 48th state's recent admission into the union, the ship was the second and last of the ''Pennsylvania'' class of "super-dreadnought" battleships. Although commissioned in 1916, the ship remained stateside during World War I. Shortly after the end of the war, ''Arizona'' was one of a number of American ships that briefly escorted President Woodrow Wilson to the Paris Peace Conference. The ship was sent to Turkey in 1919 at the beginning of the Greco-Turkish War to represent American interests for several months. Several years later, she was transferred to the Pacific Fleet and remained there for the rest of her career.
