VI

Special

Arizona — American special premium Tier VI battleship.

A U.S. Navy battleship with a conventional layout, with two turrets forward and two aft and her armor distributed according to the "all or nothing" concept. She was designed to engage enemy ships at long range. By the outbreak of World War II, the ship received more powerful torpedo protection, which slightly reduced her maneuverability.

USS Arizona was destroyed during the 7 December 1941 sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii with heavy loss of life. Her remains can be seen today at the USS Arizona Memorial in Pearl Harbor.

Arizona first went on sale on 4 July 2016 on the NA servers, and on 9 July 2016 on the EU servers.

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:

One of the highest hitpoint pools among Tier 6 battleships
Heavy broadside of twelve (12) guns in four triple turrets
Reasonably good dispersion and sigma, Arizona's salvoes can be devastating
Thickly armored citadel block
Very tight turn radius for a battleship

Cons:

Horrible main battery reload speed and turret traverse speed. Though the reload is better than tier 5 Oklahoma
Base main battery range is fairly lacking
Mostly covered with 26mm common plating, very vulnerable to HE spam
Weak AA suite, very vulnerable to planes
Extremely slow, with a top speed of only 21 knots

Research

As a premium ship, Arizona doesn't have any upgrades to research.

Consumables

Arizona can equip the following consumables:

Slot 1: Damage Control Party 
Slot 2: Repair Party 
Slot 3: Spotting Aircraft

Camouflage

As a premium ship, Arizona comes included with Type 10 camouflage that lowers her detection radius, reduces the accuracy of incoming shells, reduces her repair costs, and increases the amount of experience she earns.

Signals

Arizona captains should mount the standard flags to improve the ship's performance in battle. India Delta (), November Foxtrot (), and India Yankee () are all recommended to improve the ship's survivability. Captains may also find Sierra Mike () useful to increase the ship's top speed. Lastly, economic and special signal flags can be mounted to improve the ship’s economic gains per battle.
