Special
[[Ship:|]] — N/A special premium Tier N/A.
A dreadnought with good armor, reasonably good armament for her time, and balanced performance, typical of U.S. Navy battleships. Due to a lack of AA armament, the ship was vulnerable to air strikes.
Arkansas Beta was given out as a gift ship to players who completed 49 or more matches of any mode during the Closed Beta. It is no longer available.

Player Opinion
Performance
Arkansas is essentially a stock Wyoming upgraded with the 28,000 hp propulsion and the hit points of the Wyoming (B) hull. The only other difference is that for some reason it has 0.7 less range than a stock Wyoming. As with American battleships, the armor is an all-or-nothing scheme with most of the protection surrounding the citadel, leaving the bow and stern vulnerable. The hard part of playing this ship is that she has absolutely no defense against enemy aircraft. If you find yourself being targeted by aircraft carriers, the only thing you can do about it is turn away, but that still won't do much good with the slow turning rate. If played as a close range brawler, her guns can destroy anything; the option to mount Main Battery Modification 3 allowing for a much higher rate of fire than a standard battleship of this tier.
The only performance advantage the Arkansas has is that it has all access to all six upgrade slots. Of course, actually using all of those slots will cost the player 6,875,000 credits. Upgrade Slots 1 and 4 are already available on the Wyoming. Upgrade Slot 2 can be equipped with a Gun Firing Control System Modification 1 to improve firing range so that it nearly ties an elite Wyoming. However, that only serves to bring parity. Upgrade Slot 3, Slot 5, and Slot 6 are where any potential improvements are to be had.
LittleWhiteMouse's Premium Ship Review: Arkansas from the NA forums
Pros:
- Premium ship, excellent for earning credits and developing captains.
- Has a faster top speed, equivalent to Wyoming with the engine upgrade.
- Can use all six upgrade slots, normally only available to ships at Tier IX and X.
- As a result of the above she can obtain a very high sustained damage output.
- Can reach an astoundingly low 10.2 km detection range when fully built for concealment.
- Secondaries can be formidable with upgrades. When fully optimized, the secondary armament has a maximum range of 6 km, same stock range as tier 10 "Montana"
Cons:
- Enormous gun dispersion even at close range
- Certain upgrades are required in order for the ship to perform at an acceptable level.
- Literally not a single AA gun and all carrier pilots know it.
- Deck armor is on the weak side; incoming high explosive rounds are a concern.
- Pretty slow, just like Wyoming. Don't plan on getting anywhere in a hurry.
Research
As a premium ship, Arkansas Beta doesn't have any upgrades to research.
Optimal Configuration
Upgrades
The recommended upgrades for ' are as follows:
- Slot 1: Main Armaments Modification 1
is the most common pick.
- Slot 2: Only one real choice exists for battleships: Damage Control System Modification 1
. This will reduce chances of fire and flood.
- Slot 3: There are a couple of good options here. Secondary Battery Modification 1 (
) will boost the range and accuracy of secondaries by 20%. Artillery Plotting Room Modification 1 
will increase range and give secondaries by 5% but also provides a 16% increase to the range of the main battery.
- Slot 4: Damage Control System Modification 2
provides Arkansas with some of the expected survivability of a BB. Steering Gears Modification 2 
is also an option and will reduce rudder shift time.
- Slot 5: Maximizing stealth is never a bad choice. With the Concealment Expert commander skill, Concealment System Modification 1
, and appropriate camouflage, this ship can choose when to engage the enemy.
- Slot 6: The recommended choice is Artillery Plotting Room Modification 2
to give guns more accuracy; this will make it so that at ranges of ~12-13 kilometers, the battleship is exceptionally accurate, much more so than contemporaries. Main Battery Modification 3 
will improve damage-per-minute, and may surprise a cruiser who still expects the battleship to be reloading.
