 The historical counterpart of the famed battleship ''[[Yamato]]'', Tier IX's ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' is the pinnacle of the various fast battleship designs the United States commissioned into service before and during World War II.  The historical counterpart of the famed battleship ''[[Yamato]]'', Tier IX's ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' is the pinnacle of the various fast battleship designs the United States commissioned into service before and during World War II.
  
?Veterans of ''[[North Carolina]]'' will be well-familiar with how ''Iowa'' plays, as both ships are laid out in an identical AB-X turret arrangement. The key differences are found in ''{{#var:ship_name}}''’s handling — she is faster, with a larger turning circle and slower rudder shift speed — slightly improved AA suite, and longer main battery rifles. ''{{#var:ship_name}}''’s barrels are 50 caliber (as opposed to ''North Carolina''’s 45 caliber) and the improvement in the velocity of her armor-piercing shells is notable. Her AP shells get on target faster, and new ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' captains should allow a few games to learn how to adjust leading their shots accordingly. Additionally, she gains access to {{Artillery Plotting Room Modification 2}}, which provides a significant reduction to her dispersion.+Veterans of ''[[North Carolina]]'' will be well-familiar with how ''Iowa'' plays, as both ships are laid out in an identical AB-X turret arrangement.

 Exposing her flat broadside to enemies is as inadvisable in ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' as it is in most battleships. Even though her citadel is at the ship's third deck at roughly waterline height, the third deck plating can be overmatched by every battleship in her matchmaking spread. Consequently, ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' can be dealt catastrophic damage by well-aimed AP shells. Careful positioning and good situational awareness are required at all times to ensure she isn't removed from the game in a single enemy salvo, and this vulnerability makes fighting at close ranges very tricky as her overall length is more of a liability than an asset.  Exposing her flat broadside to enemies is as inadvisable in ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' as it is in most battleships.

?Once mastered, however, ''{{#var:ship_name}}''’s capabilities are unmatched by just about any battleship in game. She combines speed, firepower, and survivability in a way that is unrivaled by any other ship in her tier and below. Her mobility allows her to get to where she is needed, her powerful super-heavy shells allow her to inflict significant damage on whatever she encounters there, and her armor allows her to tank punishment provided she don't expose her broadside or get blindsided by incoming torpedoes.+Once mastered, however, ''{{#var:ship_name}}''’s capabilities are unmatched by just about any battleship in game.

?Availability of researchable upgrades for ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' is as follows: +The researchable upgrades are, in priority order:
?* '''Hull:''' Upgrade to Hull (B) for an additional 10,000 hit points and an improvement to her mid- and short-range AA bubbles. Upgrade to Hull (C) for faster rudder shift and further enhancements to her AA suite.

 +There are two ways to build to ''{{#var:ship_name}}'s'' strengths: a mid-range, support or anchor build, and a closer-range brawling or flanker build.<br />
 +<p>The '''anchor build''' is more suited to a play style that holds the ship in open water at mid-range where accuracy is valued over quick reaction. For this build, the two Artillery Plotting Room upgrades are paired. APRM1 provides longer main battery range plus a not-insignificant buff to her secondary battery; APRM2 significantly improves her main battery dispersion, increasing her effectiveness at the longer range shots that this play style generates. This build is usually preferred for Random Battles.</p>
 +<p>The '''flanker build''' takes advantage of ''{{#var:ship_name}}'s'' speed to establish her on a flank, often using terrain, while knocking off enemies as they attempt to cap or push the flank, and later possibly pushing to turn the flank and set up crossfires. For this build, the Main Battery upgrades are paired &mdash; MBM2 to offset the penalty of MBM3, and MBM3 to significantly boost her damage-per-minute. The base dispersion is accepted as most targets will be at relatively close range. This build is most appropriate to PvE modes and specialized situations.</p>
 +<p>Other builds, such as Pure Tank, Secondary, or AA builds, are not recommended as they offer less value for the investment. </p>

 The recommended upgrades for ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' are as follows: The recommended upgrades for ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' are as follows:
?* '''Slot 1:''' This slot is most commonly filled with {{Main Armaments Modification 1}}, though {{Auxiliary Armaments Modification 1}} is a popular pick for captains who go for a full AA build with other upgrades and commander skills. +* '''Slot 1:''' {{Main Armaments Modification 1}}
?* '''Slot 2:''' There's really only one choice here for battleships - {{Damage Control System Modification 1}}. This will reduce chances of fire and flood.+* '''Slot 2:''' {{Damage Control System Modification 1}}
?* '''Slot 3:''' There are a few options available. {{AA Guns Modification 1}} will boost her AA strength, while {{Secondary Battery Modification 2}} will boost the range and accuracy of secondaries instead. {{Artillery Plotting Room Modification 1}} will increase range and give secondaries a slight boost in range and accuracy, but is likely a weaker choice than the other two.+* '''Slot 3:''' {{Artillery Plotting Room Modification 1}} '''or''' {{Main Battery Modification 2}} (see above)
?* '''Slot 4:''' {{Steering Gears Modification 2}} is recommended and will reduce rudder shift time. Captains with fire problems could also consider {{Damage Control System Modification 2}}, reducing the amount of time on fire and conserving hit points.+* '''Slot 4:''' {{Damage Control System Modification 2}}&nbsp;'''<nowiki>*</nowiki>'''
?* '''Slot 5:''' Maximizing stealth is never a bad choice. With the [[Ship:Commander#Concealment Expert|Concealment Expert]] commander skill, {{Concealment System Modification 1}}, and appropriate camouflage, this ship can choose when to engage the enemy.+* '''Slot 5:''' {{Concealment System Modification 1}}&nbsp;'''<nowiki>*</nowiki>'''
?* '''Slot 6:''' The recommended choice is {{Artillery Plotting Room Modification 2}} to give the main battery better accuracy; installing this upgrade will make her guns exceptionally accurate at ranges of ~12-13 kilometers, 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. +* '''Slot 6:''' {{Artillery Plotting Room Modification 2}} '''or''' {{Main Battery Modification 3}} (see above)
 + 
 +Re: '''Slot 4''', neither {{Propulsion Modification 1}} nor {{Steering Gears Modification 1}} are bad choices. ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' doesn't turn or accelerate particularly well. PM1 will help her reposition when it's time to get out of Dodge,<ref>"get out of Dodge [City]" is an Americanism for the need to go somewhere else quickly.</ref> and SGM1 will help to dodge incoming, usually torpedoes. So this slot is essentially Captain's Choice. <br />
 +Re: '''Slot 5''', maximizing stealth is never a bad choice. However, battleships are not invisible, especially when they open fire with those awesome rifles. Consider {{Torpedo Lookout System}} instead to partially counter ''{{#var:ship_name}}'s'' sluggish turning.

 +*Update 0.5.6:
 +:*AA defenses were significantly reinforced. The secondary guns were also improved. Firing accuracy of the main guns was enhanced. Now the guns will be more comfortable to fire. Moreover, the ship's maximum speed was increased.
 +:*Hull (A): All 2x 20mm Bofors Mk1 AA mounts were replaced with 4x 20mm Bofors Mk2 mounts. As a result, the average AA damage within the 3.5km AA engagement area radius increased by 65 points (158 -> 223 points).
 +:*Hull (B): All 2x 20mm Bofors Mk1 AA mounts were replaced with 4x 20mm Bofors Mk2 mounts. As a result, the average AA damage within the 3.5km AA engagement area radius increased by 83 points (203 -> 286 points).
 +:*Hull (C): All 4x 20mm Oerlikon Mk20 AA mounts were replaced with 1x 20mm Oerlikon Mk4 mounts, and all 2x 20mm Bofors Mk1 AA mounts were replaced with 4x 20mm Bofors Mk2 mounts. One 4x 20mm Bofors Mk2 AA mount was added on top of the third main turret. As a result, average AA damage within the 2km AA engagement area radius increased by 30 points (from 165 to 195 points), and average AA damage within the 3.5km AA engagement area radius increased by 80 points (from 222 to 302 points).
 +:*Firing range of her secondary guns was increased by 1km (5km -> 6km).
 +:*Traverse angles were extended for the second and third main turrets (previously the traverse angles had been limited by obstructing AA mounts).

Iowa — American Tier IX battleship.

One of the most powerful battleships of World War II. The ship was designed for escorting attack carrier forces. She surpassed the speed of all battleships in the world. The battleship's survivability was significantly improved owing to a novel and powerful torpedo protection system and a fundamentally different armor protection system featuring an internal armor belt.

All four Iowa-class ships built are now preserved as military museum ships: USS Iowa in San Pedro, California; USS Missouri in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii; USS Wisconsin in Norfolk, Virginia; and USS New Jersey in Camden, New Jersey.

The historical counterpart of the famed battleship Yamato, Tier IX's Iowa is the pinnacle of the various fast battleship designs the United States commissioned into service before and during World War II.

Veterans of North Carolina will be well-familiar with how Iowa plays, as both ships are laid out in an identical AB-X turret arrangement. The key differences are found in Iowa’s handling — she is faster, with a larger turning circle and slower rudder shift speed — slightly improved AA suite, and longer main battery rifles. Iowa’s barrels are 50 caliber (as opposed to North Carolina’s 45 caliber barrels) and the improvement in the velocity of her armor-piercing shells is notable. Her AP shells get on target faster, and new Iowa captains should allow a few games to learn how to adjust leading their shots accordingly. Additionally, she gains access to Artillery Plotting Room Modification 2 : -11% main battery dispersion., which provides a significant reduction to her dispersion.

Exposing her flat broadside to enemies is as inadvisable in Iowa as it is in most battleships. Even though her citadel is at the ship's third deck at roughly waterline height, the third deck plating can be overmatched by every battleship in her matchmaking spread. Consequently, Iowa can be dealt catastrophic damage by well-aimed AP shells. Careful positioning and good situational awareness are required at all times to ensure she isn't removed from the game in a single enemy salvo, and this vulnerability makes fighting at close ranges very tricky as her overall length is more of a liability than an asset.

Once mastered, however, Iowa’s capabilities are unmatched by just about any battleship in game. She combines speed, firepower, and survivability in a way that is unrivaled by any other ship in her tier and below. Her mobility allows her to get to where she is needed, her powerful super-heavy shells allow her to inflict significant damage on whatever she encounters there, and her armor allows her to tank punishment provided she doesn't expose her broadside or get blindsided by incoming torpedoes.

Pros:

  • Same gun range as her predecessor and can go up to 27km when fully upgraded, which is the highest range for a battleship at her tier.
  • Powerful hard hitting AP shells that make citadel hits on enemy ships painfully felt.
  • Better penetration and shell velocity compared to North Carolina due to the 50 caliber gun.
  • Able to mount Artillery Plotting Room Modification 2 : -11% main battery dispersion. to improve accuracy.
  • Armor is more durable than her predecessor North Carolina
  • Incredible anti-aircraft suite makes her highly resistant to aerial assault.
  • Improved torpedo defense system with a torpedo damage reduction of 27% (compared to North Carolina’s 19%).
  • Decent ship speed of 33 knots which makes her among the fastest battleships in the game..
  • Good firing angles, meaning that not much board side is needed to fire all guns on a target.

Cons:

  • Weaker broadside armor than standard battleships, but still stronger broadside armor than North Carolina.
  • Bad rudder shift time (over 20 sec) until Hull (B).
  • Iowa's dispersion is poor at range without Artillery Plotting Room Modification 2 : -11% main battery dispersion..
  • Overall length combined with her turning circle takes some getting used to when trying to dodge torpedoes.
  • While at waterline level, the citadel is very long and the deck plating can be overmatched by every battleship and large cruisers in her matchmaking spread.
  • Very tall superstructure makes her easier to hit.
  • Weak secondary armament with a very low range compared to Tier IX counterparts Izumo, Friedrich der Große, and Alsace.

Research

The researchable upgrades are, in priority order:

  1. Hull: Upgrade to Hull (B) for an additional 10,900 hit points, an improvement to her mid- and short-range AA bubbles and for faster rudder shift. Research of Hull (B) unlocks progression to Montana. With Iowa's poor turning performance, consider using Free XP FXP to acquire the B Hull immediately.
  2. Propulsion: The propulsion upgrade bumps Iowa's speed from 28.8 knots to her historical maximum of 33 knots.
  3. Gun Fire Control System: Upgrade to Mk9 mod. 2 for an extra 10% range on the main battery.
Investing experience into Hull (B) is a top priority; it brings additional hit points and a large bump to Iowa’s anti-aircraft capabilities. The Propulsion module upgrade should come next, with the Fire Control System upgrade saved for last.

Optimal Configuration

There are two ways to build to Iowa's strengths: a mid-range, support or anchor build, and a closer-range brawling or flanker build.

The anchor build is more suited to a play style that holds the ship in open water at mid-range where accuracy is valued over quick reaction. For this build, the two Artillery Plotting Room upgrades are paired. APRM1 provides longer main battery range plus a not-insignificant buff to her secondary battery; APRM2 significantly improves her main battery dispersion, increasing her effectiveness at the longer range shots that this play style generates. This build is usually preferred for Random Battles.

The flanker build takes advantage of Iowa's speed to establish her on a flank, often using terrain, while knocking off enemies as they attempt to cap or push the flank, and later possibly pushing to turn the flank and set up crossfires. For this build, the Main Battery upgrades are paired — MBM2 to offset the penalty of MBM3, and MBM3 to significantly boost her damage-per-minute. The base dispersion is accepted as most targets will be at relatively close range. This build is most appropriate to PvE modes and specialized situations.

Other builds, such as Pure Tank, Secondary, or AA builds, are not recommended as they offer less value for the investment.

Upgrades

The recommended upgrades for Iowa are as follows:

Re: Slot 4, neither Propulsion Modification 1 Reduces time to full speed: -50% to time for reaching full power. / Increases engine power when the ship starts moving. nor Steering Gears Modification 1 : -20% rudder shift time. are bad choices. Iowa doesn't turn or accelerate particularly well. PM1 will help her reposition when it's time to get out of Dodge,[1] and SGM1 will help to dodge incoming, usually torpedoes. So this slot is essentially Captain's Choice.
Re: Slot 5, maximizing stealth is never a bad choice. However, battleships are not invisible, especially when they open fire with those awesome rifles. Consider Torpedo Lookout System to a base value of 1.8 km. instead to partially counter Iowa's sluggish turning.
