Player Opinion
Pros:
- Heavy broadside of twelve (12) main guns
- Excellent main battery range
- Ship sides are covered with a uniform 38mm outer belt, a good protection against HE shells
- Good torpedo protection with a 40% damage reduction
- Tight turn radius and good rudder shift for a Tier 9 battleship
- Has access to Defensive AA Fire (
), further boosting its already good AA defenses
Cons:
- Slowest Tier 9 battleship, with a speed of 23 knots
- Worst reload speed among Tier 9 battleships, a whopping 40 seconds
- Less hitpoints than fast counterpart Iowa
- AP penetration is fairly lacking for a Tier 9 battleship, can struggle against heavily armored targets
- Lacks the improved Repair Party (
) found on other USN battleships
Research
Availability of researchable upgrades for Minnesota is as follows:
- Upgrade to Hull (B) for more HP, more AA mounts, and a faster rudder shift. Research of this module unlocks progression to Vermont.
- Upgrade to the Mk.9 mod 2 Gun Fire Control System for an extra 10% range on her already-good main battery range.
Optimal Configuration
Skill points and upgrades should be invested to maximize Minnesota's survivability and concealment, as well as main battery accuracy.

Consumables
Type 1, 2, or 5 camouflage can be equipped for credits; Types 1 or 5 are recommended at a minimum to reduce detectibility range.
Players who wish to spend doubloons can equip Minnesota with Type 19 camouflage that lowers her detection radius, reduces the accuracy of incoming shells, reduces her repair costs, and increases the amount of experience she earns.Gallery
